This commentary is connecting the dots between the publication of Szulevicz et al., (2021) about the discrepancy of students' master theses and mainstream research and the upcoming book about the future of universities edited by Geberth & Woller (2023). University is changing fast, which can be prominently seen by comparing published research and the work of students. Danish students are seen as fulfilling Humboldt's ideal choosing niche topics for their theses. Meanwhile Austrian students demand more practical skills from their studies and German lecturers ask themselves, how much practice orientation might be too much. Neoliberalism seems to be at the bottom of the drastic changes which universities are going through. The authors criticize the influence of external funding on research in general.
这篇评论将绍尔维茨等人(2021 年)关于学生硕士论文与主流研究之间差异的出版物与即将出版的格尔伯斯和沃勒(2023 年)编辑的关于大学未来的书籍联系起来。大学正在迅速变化,通过比较已发表的研究和学生的工作,可以明显看出这一点。丹麦学生被视为满足洪堡的理想,为他们的论文选择利基课题。与此同时,奥地利学生希望从他们的学习中获得更多的实践技能,德国讲师则在思考,实践导向的程度可能会过高。新自由主义似乎是大学正在经历的剧烈变革的根源。作者批评了外部资金对一般研究的影响。
