About the Master’s thesis competition

The Master’s thesis competition is carried out by the Ministry of Higher Education and Science in close collaboration with the eight Danish universities and the universities on Greenland and the Faroe Islands. The competition will take place three times (first time in 2020), and it is one of several initiatives that focuses on strengthening young Danish, Faroese and Greenlandic people’s knowledge of the Danish Realm and each other.

The prize will be awarded every year by the Minister for Higher Education and Science at an award ceremony in November/December 2021.
