to the existing emergency response.

https://medarbejdere.au.dk/en/administration/au-planning/emergency-response/au-evacuate-app/



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 [email protected]

• Visit http://studyindenmark.dk/ for general information
