The Pre-Arrival Guide Autumn Semester 2013/2014
The Pre-Arrival Guide for Exchange Students has been designed for incoming international students to read before you come to Denmark. The Guide is offered online only (meaning you will not receive a copy of it when you arrive). The information presented in the guide will help make the transition from your home country to here easy and efficient.
The Pre-Arrival Guide offers information on travelling to Aarhus, arrival procedures, information on learning Danish and about your Intro Week, a checklist of things you need to make sure to bring with you when you set on your journey, and other general practicalities.
To view the guide, simply click on the photo of it. From there you will be able to flip through the guide online and even download your own pdf copy. If you have problems opening them, please mail mwo@adm.au.dk.
