Your introduction week
Welcome by the director of studies
Welcome to the bachelor's degree programme in Economics and Business Administration at Aarhus BSS. To give you the best possible start to university life, Studenterlauget, on behalf of Aarhus BSS, has arranged an introduction week where you will be introduced to both the academic and social aspects of student life. During the introduction week, you will get to know your new fellow students very well, and this is also where study groups are formed. We hope this will help create a strong foundation for a good student life at Aarhus BSS.
When you start at the university, it might feel like a big change because it requires a completely different level of independence and responsibility for your own learning compared to your upper secondary education. Initially, your study programme consists of mandatory courses that provide you with broad competencies within economics and business administration. Subsequently, you will have the opportunity to specialise.
If you want to refresh your math skills from your upper secondary education, Aarhus BSS offers a brush-up course in Mathematics. The course is integrated into the programme, but you are recommended to start the course before the semester begins by following the link: https://bss24.sci2u.dk
We are looking forward to welcoming you at economics and business administration at Aarhus BSS.
Best regards
Professor Charlotte Christiansen
Director of studies for the bachelor's degree programme in Economics and Business Administration
