Autumn 2021 semester online
All teaching activities for the entire 2021 autumn semester at SDC will be conducted online.
China’s national borders are still closed for most foreigners and it is difficult to obtain visas. At the moment, there is no official information about when China will reopen its borders. Teachers and students deserve the best possible opportunity to prepare for the coming semester, and due to the current entry requirements in China, it is not possible to plan and coordinate the autumn semester with in-person teaching by Danish profes-sors in the SDC building in Huairou.
