Here you will find all you need to know about your orientation week
Dear new student at ARTS, Aarhus University.
The introduction week for new students will begin on monday the 26th of august in week 35, 2024. The first week will be introductory to both academic, practical and social elements that are important to your future as a student at ARTS, Aarhus University. In the summer of 2024 the programme for the introduction week and other relevant information will appear on this page.
On all Bachelor’s degree programmes at the Faculty of Arts, a commencement of studies exam is held before the end of September in the first semester of the programme.
On the Cognitive Science programme the exam is linked with the course called Cognition and Communication. The exam times and other regulations such as the exam description and form of examination as well as the date for the first and second attempts will be announced in the course plan on Brightspace.
It is important that you are well informed about the commencement of studies exam. During the introduction week your student counsellor can tell you more about the commencement of studies exam on your degree programme.
Teaching and curriculum
You're probably excited to get started with your new study program. In the welcome booklet, your lecturers have written briefly about your first semester, and on the e-learning platform Brightspace you soon will receive more information about the curriculum lists from your lecturers. You will hear more about this during the introduction week and at the start of the semester.
Timetable
If you want to know what your schedule for the upcoming semester looks like, you can log in to mitstudie.au.dk. However, please note that the schedule is often not available on mitstudie.au.dk until shortly before the start of the semester.
Help with study techniques
For many, studying at university can be different from what they are used to from, for example, high school. The University has therefore developed a number of initiatives to help you get started as a university student. On AU Studypedia, for example, you can find lots of good advice on study habits, assignment formalities, study groups, etc
At AU, we place a high priority on treating each other with decency and respect, and we have zero tolerance for any form of harassment, bullying, violence or discrimination. No one should have to experience this - not during the welcome week neither.
If you experience any kind of this behaviour, please be aware of the different places where you can find help and counselling. Learn more at our Zero tolerance webpage.

Som ny studerende på AU kommer du til at møde en masse forskellige IT-platforme til forskellige formål. I starten synes du måske, at det er svært at finde rundt i. Det er helt ok, og du skal nok få styr på systemerne i løbet af din første tid på uddannelsen. I løbet af velkomstugen holder dine tutorer også en IT-introduktion for jer. Nedenfor finder du et overblik over de vigtigste systemer:
På Aarhus Universitet lægger vi stor vægt på, at vi behandler hinanden med respekt og ordentlighed, og vi siger fra over for chikane, mobning, vold og diskrimination i alle former. Ingen bør udsættes for dette, og denne type adfærd tolereres naturligvis heller ikke under studievelkomsten. Dette er formuleret i Arts' regler for studievelkomsten, som bl.a. også indeholder den alkoholpolitik, som gælder i velkomstugen.
Hvis du oplever, at nogen opfører sig uacceptabelt over for dig, er der forskellige steder, du kan søge hjælp. Det kan du læse mere om på AU-hjemmesiden om chikane.
