Courses during daytime

Courses during daytime (Tomplads-ordningen) at the Aarhus University are vacant positions at courses offered by a department during a term. Normally, applicants cannot expect to be accepted without a good working knowledge of the Danish language. Furthermore, there may be specific course requirements, (e.g. language qualifications, a certain level of mathematics etc.). For specific course requirements applicants are advised to contact the student counsellor of the relevant department.  Students attend the courses and take the examinations on equal terms with full-time students.

Courses in English and other languages

You will find courses held in English or in other languages by searching the Course Catalogue or the Study Guide.

Information about courses

Once you have chosen the courses you wish to attend, please contact the student counsellor (or the secretary) at the department for further information, a course description handbook and academic regulations. Applications should be made well in advance of the academic term (in the beginning of January with respect to courses during the spring term and in June as to courses in the autumn term).

How to apply

The application form must include an exact specification of the courses you wish to study. You should fill in an application form for each department. If you apply for admission to more than one course within the same department – several courses at the Institute of History and Area Studies, for example – you should only fill in one application form. However, if you wish to study at both the Institute of History and Area Studies and at the Faculty of Theology, for example, you must fill in two application forms.

Application forms must be submitted to the study committee of the department concerned.

Application forms can be obtained from the student counsellor at the relevant department, the university studies office at the relevant faculty or at:
