Shortly before 2pm, Emil Kjærgaard Petersen received his final grade and with that the title of Master of Science in Engineering. As he left the examination room, he was greeted by a celebration committee. He was no less than the 400th student on the MSc in Engineering to graduate in Herning, and it seems plenty more will follow.

“A lot of my fellow students in Aarhus are thinking of studying in Herning like me,” said the happy and relieved graduate.
