Difference AU Housing/Student Housing Aarhus

AU Housing offers temporary accommodation for specific groups of international students, PhD students, and staff at AU. Here, you can check if you are eligible for this housing service.

Student Housing Aarhus provides housing for all students in Aarhus, both Danish and international, but not for PhD students or staff. This means that all students can apply for housing at Student Housing Aarhus, but only specific groups of international students can apply for housing at both AU Housing and Student Housing Aarhus.
