A question we often get when meeting international students is if they need to learn Danish to live and study here. The short answer is: No. Everyone – including taxi-drivers and shopkeepers speaks really good English. In fact, Danes have been ranked as some of the best non-native English speakers in the world.
Nevertheless, knowing some Danish – even just basic words – can be very useful. If you follow a Danish course you will not only learn Danish, you will also get to know more about the Danish culture, Danes and meet other international students. Find out more about learning Danish for free!
Being a student at Aarhus University might differ from Turkey. Students call professors by their first names and students are expected to engage in academic discussions during classes.
Many non-academic activities such as sports and music are not organized by the university. Still, there is a ton of activities for students in Aarhus, so you will be sure to have an amazing time here.
A place to start is Studenterhus Aarhus which offers activities for all students in Aarhus. These include a weekly International Night, trips around Denmark, Danish classes and much more. It is also possible to get involved as a volunteer and thereby grow your network in Denmark.
Contact our AU representative Gitte Bindzus Foldager if you are from Turkey and have questions concerning your stay.
