Participation of UAF students has been limited by language, but an increasing number of courses at both undergraduate and graduate levels are being offered in English, and UAF students have been offered the opportunity to participate in a summer Arctic Ecology field course at the university's field station at Disko Island, west Greenland. We hope that these developments will increase participation of UAF students. Danish courses are available for students who study in Copenhagen. Participation of UAF students has been limited by language difficulties, since courses are given primarily in Norwegian.
