No! None of the courses are first come first served. Unless otherwise announced in the course description in the course catalogue, seats in any given course will be distributed to the following groups in descending order:

· Aarhus University students from primary program or related education (see course catalogue)

· Aarhus University students from any other study program

· Students from other Danish universities applying to take the course as a credit module as well as students nominated through an exchange agreement or other partnership agreement

· Free movers and other Danish applicants (Tomplads)

Within these groups the seats will distributed as described in the course description.

This also means that technically it does not matter if you apply by January 16th or March 15th as long as you apply within the deadline March 15th at 12.00 (noon)

It is not possible to change or cancel your application in our applicationsystem. If you regret your application before 15th of March 11.59 we will cancel your application for you, if you send us a mail at summeruniversity@au.dk

After the application deadline it is only possible to deregistrate for the course on the same rules that apply for regular semester courses.

No, it is unfortunately not possible to take a course as extra-curricular activity. This is also why you can only register for a course if you have the space in your study programme and within the group of courses that the course belongs to.

That is because you cannot apply for a Summer University course in STADS. If you follow our 4 steps to apply you will automatically get to our application system.

You can apply from 16/1 - 15/3 at 12 noon.

If you want to apply both for a course within your own study programme and a course that you need a pre-approval for, you need to make to applications: One as 'applicant within own study programme' and one as 'applicant with pre-approval'.

If you are a bachelor's student who graduates this summer and will start your master's degree immidiately after, it is a possibility to take a master course during the summer before you actually start your degree, to get a head start on your master's degree. However, this does not apply if you are applying for any of the following master degrees:

- ITKO

- Cand.merc. (all tracks)

- Cand.soc.

- Cand.merc.aud.

To get a seat in a summer course, you need to do the following.

1. Apply for regular admission to the master's degree you wish to take, if you have not already done so. Remember that the application deadline is at midnight between March 1st and March 2nd.

2. Sign up for AU Summer University before March 15th in our application system through this link. Choose Aarhus University student as student type and when the system asks you for a preapproval, you should upload the receipt you got upon applying for the master's degree.

In April you will receive an answer from AU Summer University letting you know which course you got a seat in. After this you will be able to see the course in STADS.

You will receive notice by June 1st at the latest whether or not you were accepted to the master's program. You have until June 15th to confirm your seat in the program. (NB! If you have applied to master's degree program where you do not have legal right of admission, this of course only holds if you get accepted to the program.)

Around June 22nd you will get a message saying that you have been enrolled in the master's degree program. After this, your registration for AU Summer University will fall into place.

Until you are officially enrolled, the registration is STADS will say 'denied' even though you have received notice that you have a seat in the course. But there is no need to worry. This does not mean that you are not signed up for the course.

Please keep in mind that students who are already enrolled in a master's program have priority right for courses with limited seats as opposed to students with a temporary enrollment.

Teaching in Aarhus takes place, with very few exceptions, in Nobelparken. Please allow a little extra time on the first day to find the building and premises. And remember that there is no academic quarter unless announced in advance. You will find a list with an overview of subjects and rooms here.

The canteen in Nobelparken is open throughout the AU Summer University every day from 8.30-15.00.

Dates and times for teaching can be seen on the vast majority of courses in the course catalog now.

And on Brightspace you will find the schedule, curriculum and literature for your subject, the information will be ready at the beginning of June.

Unfortunately, Summer University subjects do not come to mystudies.au.dk, so you will not be able to see the schedule there, but only on Brightspace.
In general, the summer courses are very intensive, and the workload can be heavy, so don't count on too much free time during the weeks the course runs.

You can't count on the academic quarter applies in the summer - unless it says so directly. So if it says that teaching starts at 9.00, be there at 9.00! At least the first day.

As some subjects have international guest lecturers, you have to expect that things are not quite as they usually are. Break structure, teaching methods, etc. may be different. Take it as part of the experience and talk if necessary. with the teacher if you think there is too little or too much of something.

The literature lists will be posted on Brightspace as soon as we receive them from the teachers. This happens at the end of May at the earliest and during June at the latest.

Information about the exam is/will be posted on Brightspace, but the date for the vast majority of courses can already be found in the course catalogue.

Be aware that the flow is activated / the exam is made visible later than you may be used to in your own studies. You can expect to be able to see your exam in Wiseflow or Digital Exam approx. 1 week before the exam starts.

Remember to check whether you can see your exam either in Wiseflow (BSS) or in Digital Exam (ARTS, Nat-Tech, HE) well before the exam starts, so that we have the opportunity to help you if there are problems.

Exactly the same rules apply regarding uploading as for all other exams. If the exam is not uploaded in time, you must apply for a waiver to have your exam assignment graded. Please note that this is only given in special cases. So make sure you upload your exam paper in good time.

You can always contact us if you have questions by email: summeruniversity@au.dk 

While the Summer University is underway, in July and August, you can also get help at our Information Desk, which is located in building 1453 in Nobel Park, where most of the teaching takes place.
