The suggestion by the Danish People's Party, or DF, that Denmark's universities should stop offering courses in English was roundly criticised by political opponents and readers, who said that the real losers would be Danish students, reports The Local.Offering university courses in English “makes no sense” according to the anti-immigration DF, which has once again called for Danish universities to abandon teaching in a second language. DF’s education spokesman, Jens Henrik Thulesen Dahl, told Metroxpress that eliminating English-language courses would put an end to foreign students coming to Denmark and receiving a student stipend from the government.

High standards of teaching and lower fees make studying for a degree in Europe an attractive option for many UK students.British sixth-formers will be able to apply to continental European universities through the UK admissions system for the first time, under a landmark reform that will transform the higher education market, the Guardian can reveal. The change, promoted by the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (Ucas) as extending student choice and reflecting the increasingly globalised nature of higher education, is likely to accelerate the steady increase in the number of young Britons studying abroad. The trend has already been boosted by a boom in the number of courses taught entirely in English by continental universities and priced well below the maximum £9,000-a-year annual UK tuition fee or, in some countries, with no fee at all. 

Four universities will be banned from accepting foreign students for one year, starting this autumn semester, as punishment for poorly managing non-Korean students, reports The Korea Times.According to the Ministry of Justice, they are: Hansei University, Jeonbuk Science College, Gyeongnam National University of Science and Technology, and Taegu Science University. Those universities will not be able to issue visas for foreign students including freshmen, transfer students and those for language training courses. Foreign students who are currently attending courses will not be affected.

A few years ago it would have been unthinkable, but now Dutch universities are competing with each other for masters students, reports Dutch News. According to the Volkskrant universities are advertising in each other’s magazines and hanging up posters on competing campuses to try to attract students. In 2011 just under 3,000 students switched to a different university for their masters degree. In 2014 that had risen to almost 5,000, figures from the Dutch university association VSNU show. Erasmus University Rotterdam attracted over 500 students from other universities and says attracting more is a priority for the next four years.

A Council on Higher Education proposal to extend tertiary undergraduate studies by a year to improve student performance stands a good chance of being snubbed by the government, writes Bongani Nkosi for the Mail & Guardian.Dr Blade Nzimande, the minister of higher education and training, is considering the recommendation that the council has advised him to implement at all universities. The proposed additional first year would be used to prepare students at both universities and universities of technology. The statutory body – set up to advise the minister – wrote to Nzimande in December, saying the proposed curriculum reform is “both educationally sound and practically feasible”.

Japanese universities are going all out to give their American and European counterparts a run for their money in wooing Indian students for higher education studies, writes Amit Mitra for The Hindu. Their unique selling proposition: study in a top notch university in Japan for nearly half the cost of studying in the West. And backing their efforts are a clutch of top Japanese brands, such as Sony, Canon, Toshiba and Mitsubishi, which are sweetening the offer by promising placements in Japan or in their Indian subsidiaries. More than 1,200 Japanese companies are operating in India today.

A brief overview of the main achievements of Oliver Heaviside eminent British scientist, engineer, mathe-matician and physicist, first applied to the study of complex numbers of electrical circuits and developed a technique of application of the Laplace transform to solve differential equations. Heaviside reformulated Maxwell's equations in terms of the vector of the electromagnetic field, the electric and magnetic inductions, developed a theory of communication lines, known as the "telegrapher's equations", and developed the idea of the ionosphere, predictions, head of existence it reflects radio waves layer. Provides information about the parents Heaviside, interesting facts from his life and work, details of self-interest in mathematics and physics, as well as the history of communication theory and electrodynamics connected with investments in this area James Maxwell. Oliver Heaviside was a member of the Royal Society of Great Britain and the first of the Faraday Medal awarded the London Institute of Electrical Engineers.
