STUDYING IN DENMARK
• Informal tone - no ”Professor/Mr/Ms” necessary
• Rigid time (it is on time) – except for the ”academic quarter”
• You are expected to demonstrate critical and independent thinking
• Discussions with professors as well as fellow students are encouraged – But no talking amongst
yourselves
• Fewer classes/ assignments -> more self study/study groups.
• If you are struggling to adapt to the Danish study style contact Nanna Gaarde Jensen ngj@au.dk
• Visit http://studyindenmark.dk/ for general information
