Aarhus University has five overall fields of study known as faculties. Each faculty is managed by a dean and is subdivided into departments that offer different degree programmes within the overall field of study. 

At university, you are responsible for your own preparation for lessons, and no one will check whether you have done your homework. 

A form of university teaching that largely consists of academic presentations from lecturers and plenary discussions. 

You are no longer in a class, but in a group. If you are on a large programme, there may be several groups in a single year group. 

Courses will typically be the term for what you previously called a subject in upper secondary education. On some programmes, we also call them subjects, modules, or seminars. The terms will sometimes overlap, so be aware of the language used on your programme. For example, you will find the term "course" in the course catalogue, which is an overview of all the "subjects" offered at AU. 

The year is divided into two semesters. The autumn semester runs from September to January and the spring semester runs from February to June. On some programmes, the semester will be divided into modules. 

You can’t be sure that you will have the same timetable throughout the semester, nor that you will be in the same room. The time and place of classes may change continuously, so remember to keep updated. 

Aarhus University has a rich association and club life. Whether you are into sports, theatre or music, there will always be a club or association for you. See the List of associations for something that suits you.  

Study groups can take many forms, e.g. reading groups, writing groups, project groups, etc., where you go through texts, make calculations for assignments, or do group assignments and projects together. 

You’re no longer a pupil: you’re a student. This means that you are responsible for your own learning. 

At school you have a teacher. At university, we call them lecturers.
