    Studying = Evolving Surviving the Danish Weather

    Studying at Aarhus University has been a journey of learning, evolving, and… figuring out how to survive the grading system. I’m in the Erasmus Mundus programme, and honestly, the professors here are absolute legends—they go out of their way to help us and make everything super smooth. Love that!

    The programme itself is a cultural explosion: 90 students from 40 countries, so you’re basically in a mini United Nations every day. But let’s talk about challenges… The city is a bit too quiet for my taste. The grading system is absolutely ridiculous. But at least they soften the blow with solid feedback, so you know exactly where you messed up.

    Campus life? Super chill, great facilities—but WHERE are the events?! I swear they just gave up because the weather is permanently grey. Still, despite the occasional boredom and my ongoing war with the grading scale, I’d recommend Aarhus University 1000%. If you want top-notch education, an international experience, and professors who actually care, this is the place to be!

  • Economics and Business Administration at Aarhus

    I would like to study the bachelor’s degree in Economics and Business Administration at Aarhus University next year. I would like to know whether the study environment is quite competitive and if the bachelor’s is highly demanding too.

    Written by EDUopinions Community

    The bachelor in Economics and Business Administration at Aarhus is prerty demanding but it is not a super aggressive, competitive vibe. You can expect a full‑time workload with quite a lot of reading, group work and assignments during the semester, not just before exams.

    generally the atmosphere is friendly and pretty relaxed. People work hard but you mostly cooperate in study groups instead of competing with each other all the time. TLDR it is serious and you need to stay on top of things but the social and study environment is supportive.

  • Accommodation

    Could you please tell me more about the accommodation? Are there student halls or do students get a flat/apartment? How much does it cost? Do I have a chance of getting a place in the students’ hall?

    Written by EDUopinions Community
    12 Jan, 2026

    You do have a chance to get into a student hall but you must sign up early and be flexible about which dorm/area you take. New students can get some kind of priority but check the details and eligibility criteria with Studenthousing Aarhus
