See the pics from the USG dance show

From urban to African, and from Oriental to ballet, there were enough moves to impress everyone in the audience. Held at the Department of Sports Sciences, the hall was filled with friends, family, photographers and curious visitors.

The University Sports Organization, USG, offers weekly classes offering everything from tribal style bellydance to parkour.

The University Post was there to capture some moves. Check out the photos here.

Party Watch: CSS revelry

The University Post sent a photographer and reporter to capture the best party animals of the evening at CSS, central campus Saturday night. The dress code of the merrymaking was 'Colours'. All departments taking part in the fun wore a specific theme colour.

Take a look at the daring sociology students dressed in green, the sexy psychologists in black, political scientists in bright red, masked public health scientists in yellow, hot caseworkers in purple, and anthropologists dressed as gigantic blue smurfs.

Annual physics revue bash will be a circus

Who says scientists don’t know how to have fun? This Friday and Saturday, 4 and 5 May, sixty physics students from the Niels Bohr Institute at the University will challenge this notion by inviting audience members and party goers to FysikRevy, an all-out bash that celebrates student life at the Institute.

The show has been an annual and well-loved tradition since 1989, along with a host of other revues that will also kick off this spring including mathematics, molecular biomedicine and computer science.

Rush to get on Kronborg staff tour

A trip for international PhDs, Postdocs and teaching staff has become so popular that organisers have had to turn down applicants.

This is according to organisers of the trip, the International Staff Mobility (ISM) office at the University of Copenhagen.

Saturday’s bus trip to Kronborg castle in Elsinore (Helsingør) was jam-packed with 72 research staff. They were the lucky few, apparently, as upwards of 50 had to be turned down.
