Our journalism students got the exclusive opportunity to interview the Prime Minister

On Friday, April 4th, our journalism students got a unique chance to try their hand at one of the most demanding disciplines in the profession - a solo interview with a top politician.

The Danish Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, posed for an interview where our journalism students were given exclusive access to ask questions and control the conversation.

It was a valuable learning situation where our students had to demonstrate their ability to prepare thoroughly, ask incisive questions and handle a high-level interviewee.

The experience gave them a realistic insight into what it is like to work as a journalist and how to balance curiosity, precision and timing in an interview.

Our students put in an impressive effort and their dedication and professionalism was noticed.

The exercise was a great success and we look forward to seeing how they use the experience in the future.

A huge thank you to the Prime Minister for giving our students this unique opportunity!
