The Intro Days will take place on 20-22 August 2025.
The Intro Days are a mix of academic and social events planned by your mentors, who are older students from related study programmes.
We recommend that you participate to get the best possible start at your new programme.
You can find the programme for the Intro Days below (will be updated soon).
Normal schedule will begin on Monday, 25 August 2025.
You can find your schedule at mystudies.au.dk and your calendar (overview of courses and exam periods during the year) under the menu item 'Teaching and structure' > 'Teaching and examination periods'.
Who are we?
We are a group of senior students looking forward to welcoming you to the Department of Computer Science. If you have any questions about your new degree programme, feel free to ask us. Us onboarding mentors are students who are studying either IT Product Development or Computer Science and we have extensive knowledge about the programme and what it’s like to be a new student. We want to help you get off to a good start, as we’ve been in your shoes and know that starting something new can feel a bit overwhelming.
Introduction days and beginning your studies
We are responsible for arranging the best possible start to your new degree programme and you will meet us during the introduction days, where we will take care of you for three days, and we have everything planned for you and your team of fellow students. It can be difficult to keep track of everything in the first few days, but keep in mind that we are here to help you.
You will continue to meet us during the first term through either weekly class hours or office hours, so there is plenty of time for any questions.
Help during your studies
We are also happy to help you navigate through all of AU's offers and guide you to other people you can contact for help - and there are many who can and will help you, whether it concerns well-being, study doubts, IT systems or something else. We act as a link between you and the Department and others that we can forward you to for help, and if you don’t know who to ask. If you have any questions after the introduction days, please feel free to reach out during the class hours or office hours.
