You will be able to find a list of classrooms here, when it is ready.
Almost all Summer University courses are located in Nobelparken.
All classrooms in Nobelparken have chairs, tables, a whiteboard and a projector with various kinds of cable cords for all computers, including mac.
Some classrooms have whiteboard markers in them already but if yours doesn't, we have some extra ones in the Information Desk. Just ask for them whenever you need them.
We also have glue, scissors, permanent markers and pens in the Information Desk that you can borrow at any time.
Most classrooms have extension cords attached to the bottom of the tables so that all students have access to them. However, some rooms might lack them. In that case, we have extra cords in the Information Desk that you can borrow at any time.
If you need to find your classroom, a helpful way to do so is by using the app called AU Find. The app allows you to search for the building number and will show you where the building is on a map of AU.
You can also type in the building number manually on this page to have it shown on a map without the app.
Once you arrive to the right building, you need to find your classroom. The first number in your room number is the floor: If your room number is 123, your classroom is on the 1st floor which at AU is the ground floor. If your room number is 224, your classroom will be on the 2nd floor, and so on.
If you need any supplies for your course, i.e. paper, cardboard, glue, pencils, pens etc., you can contact us on summeruniversity@au.dk before your course starts.
Then we will make sure to purchase your needed supplies beforehand so they are ready for your course.
If you wish so, we will bring the supplies to your classroom on the first day of your course.
If you need supplies during your course, please ask us in the Information Desk (at Nobel Library) and we will do whatever we can to get the supplies for you.
If you need something printed for yourself or your class, please send an email to summeruniversity@au.dk, and we will print it for you.
You can collect the printed documents at the Information Desk.
Please note that we need to receive the document file no later than 1 PM the day before you need it to be sure that we have enough time to print.
Wireless internet is available in all buildings at Aarhus University. To access the internet from your Mac or PC download the settings from eduroam.au.dk/en and log on to Eduroam.
The AU login for Eduroam is au<AUID>@uni.au.dk (e.g. au123456@uni.au.dk) and the same password you used for e.g Brightspace (your password for https://mitstudie.au.dk). You will receive an email with your AU ID from the Summer University Administration. If you cannot remember your password (or haven’t logged in to Brightspace or mitstudie.au.dk before) you can retrieve your (new) password here.
To access the internet from your smartphone pick the Eduroam network and type in username and password.
At the AU Library in Nobelparken you will be able to consult the books in the study area. Furthermore, the Royal Danish Library has an extensive electronic journal database, which you can use by logging on as a lecturer at the library or anywhere on campus with your AU ID.

You are of course also welcome to do that in the Guest Lecturer Lounge, however there will be noise and chatting in the lounge. Therefore, if you want some peace and quite, we recommend you to sit in the Open Office Space.
The canteen in Nobelparken is the place for the weekly guest lecturer coffee.
Once a week, the Summer University team will invite all Summer University lecturers for a cup of free coffee or another hot beverage as well as a little snack - i.e. a piece of cake or a granola bar.
This is a way to meet and socialize with other lecturers as well as meeting the Summer University team, who you have probably been in contact with on e-mail.
We hope that you will join.
Depending on where you are travelling from, the most common ways of arriving are:
Location: 45 km northeast of Aarhus. There are direct flights to Aarhus Airport from some European cities and Copenhagen. The airport bus is linked to most incoming/outgoing SAS flights and stops both close to the University and downtown Aarhus. It takes 50 minutes to get to Aarhus city centre and costs around 130 DKK.
Location: 100 km southwest of Aarhus, next to Legoland. Aarhus is also serviced by another international airport, Billund Airport. There is an airport bus from the airport to downtown Aarhus (bus 912X; from the Aarhus Bus Station) which takes 1 hour 30 minutes and costs around 120 DKK.
Location: Copenhagen. Copenhagen Airport is Denmark’s main international airport and there are direct flights to Copenhagen Airport from most European cities. When you arrive at Copenhagen Airport, you can either continue your flight to Aarhus or Billund Airport or catch a train or bus towards Aarhus. The journey between Aarhus and Copenhagen airport costs about 330 kr.
You can either take a bus or a train from Copenhagen Airport to Copenhagen’s central train station, and change to a direct train to Aarhus. The train takes 3–3.5 hours and they leave for Aarhus twice per hour. For more information on train departure times, please visit the website of DSB, Denmark’s State Railway company, at www.dsb.dk.
Aarhus is relatively easy to access by train from a variety of cities and European countries. The Danish network of trains is well developed. Please bear in mind that when you book tickets on Danish trains, you currently need to book a seat as well. There is however no additional fee to book a specific seat.
Aarhus Central Station (Hovedbanegården) is located in downtown Aarhus at the very end of the main shopping street. Outside the station, you will find a taxi rank and bus stops for most city buses.
FlixBus operates within Denmark and many other European cities and offers a cheaper alternative to the train, with an additional discount for students. The service between Copenhagen and Aarhus departs from Copenhagen Central Station or Copenhagen Airport and runs several times a day www.flixbus.dk. Another alternative is Kombardo Expressen, another bus company which will take you from Aarhus to Copenhagen via ferry. Prices start at 99 DKK. Tickets can be booked on: https://www.kombardoexpressen.dk/. You can also use Rejsebillet app, where the price is constant at about 330 kr.
For international bus connections, the aforementioned Flixbus is a possible choice. If you wish to receive a student discount, it is very important that you bring a certificate of enrolment from either AU or your home university with you on the bus! To travel around Europe you can use Omio app to find all types of public transport.
The Aarhus Bus Station (Rutebilstationen) is located 5 minutes’ walking distance down the street from Aarhus Central Station. Some city buses also stop at the Aarhus Bus Station and most regional buses arrive/depart from there.
It is expensive to own a car in Denmark, so many people choose public transportation instead. If you wish to use your foreign car in Denmark, you must register it within 14 days upon arrival in Denmark. Registration of vehicles is administered by the Danish tax authority, where you can also find rules and tax rates for imported cars. Some countries must also convert their driving license within 14 days after establishing residence. Please check all the information before bringing your car to Denmark at www.skat.dk.
Our courses are primarily held at Nobel Parken, where you'll find a few public parking spots available. These are located in the top right corner of this map, which outlines all public parking areas in the University Park. The specific conditions for each parking spot are clearly indicated by signage near the parking areas.
If you bring your own car, you will be able to find parking both in the city centre and on campus. Whilst parking on campus is free, you will need to pay on the streets outside of campus. Once you find your parking space, you need to locate the closest parking meter in order to pay for a parking ticket. Please note the parking fines are expensive in Denmark.
To park on campus, you will need to registrer your car in AU's system, so you are allowed to park there. We will send you an e-mail with information on how to do that.
If you need to get somewhere fast and easily, you can always call one of the city taxis although they are quite expensive compared to other countries. However, they are safe, reliable, and comfortable.

DanTaxi: +45 86 16 47 00 - they also have an app and a website you can order a taxi from. Read more about it here.
For fun and easy transportation in Aarhus it is possible to rent an eco-friendly electric scooter running up to 20 km/h. The red/orange scooters are placed all over town and are easily accessible. Download the Voi Scooter app to your phone to get started and look up where the closest electric scooter is located. It costs 30 DKK to unlock the scooter and 1,5 DKK/minute. You can leave the scooter on almost any sidewalk in the city for the next one to pick it up. Be aware that it is mandatory to wear a helmet when riding a motorized scooter in Denmark.
Donkey Republic is an even more flexible bike rental offer as you pay by the minute. The orange bikes are situated all over Aarhus. Download the Donkey Republic bike app to look up the closest bike(s). Unlock the bike using the app and pay after finishing the ride. The price for 30 minutes = 15 DKK, 2 hours = 50 DKK, 1 day = 100 DKK and 2 days = 175 DKK. You can end the ride and leave the bike in any of the Donkey-spots.
You can also rent a bike for a full month here in Aarhus for only DKK 179 (with student discount) + a sign up fee. This prices includes service if it breaks down. In case this happens, they will come to you and swap it to a new one, thus their name Swapfiets. After placing the order, the bike will be delivered to you. Please note that the minimum contract period is one month with one month notice. Read more about it here.
If you choose VOI, Donkey Republic or Swapfiets you will need to study the Danish traffic rules. You can read more about essential bike equiptment, helmets, and the traffic regulations here.
The city bus network of Aarhus is well developed. The yellow city buses can take you all over the city – from 05:00 to 00:00. There are also night buses on Fridays and Saturdays. Midttrafik is the bus company that runs the yellow buses and on their website you will find the timetables for the different bus routes. One-way tickets can be bought from a ticket machine in the bus for DKK 26 (in cash) or via the Rejsebillet app. The machines only take coins.
If you would like, you can purchase a one month pendler card in the Rejsebillet app. This will allow for you to travel in most of Aarhus for 435 kr. Before purchasing your ticket, make sure that your accomodation and the location of your courses are within the zones you choose.
