General information
If you are a MASTER LEVEL exchange student and you have a relevant academic background, you have the opportunity to choose to study the spring semester in Greenland!
The Arctic Science Study Programme (ASSP) offered in Nuuk, Greenland gives your education an Arctic angle and provides you with first-hand experience of working in and with the climate, environment and communities of the Arctic.
! Please be aware that it is not possible to register for courses that take place in Aarhus and in Greenland in the same semester !
You therefore have to choose between a whole semester in Nuuk or a whole semester in Aarhus.
Here you can find more information about the Arctic Science Study Programme (ASSP) and the course package offered in Nuuk. And you can find some practical information on studying in Nuuk here.
How do I apply?
You must be nominated by your home university and apply as an exchange student via our exchange system. In you application you must choose the subject area "Biology - Arctic semester in Greenland".
Once enrolled as an exchange student at AU, you will also be asked to send us a motivation letter and a CV no later than november 7.
After this we will assess all applications for the Arctic semester and let you know whether you have been accepted. If not you will be able to choose courses in Aarhus instead.
