Together with Studenterhus Aarhus Aarhus University will offer a social programme along with the introduction to the university and your programme.
The social intro programme is hosted by Studenterhus Aarhus/ESN Aarhus – if you have any questions, feel free to contact international coordinator Sigrun.
You can follow all non-intro events hosted by Studenterhus Aarhus or ESN Aarhus on Facebook and Instagram:
You can find Studenterhus Aarhus and ESN Aarhus at Nordre Ringgade 3, just across from the Royal Library.
