Practical information

Services provided by the International Centre for international guest lecturers

The International Centre at Aarhus University offers a housing guarantee, visa service, and information about the tax exemption application, meaning overall assistance in practical issues before and during the event. Information and support related to the Danish teaching and grading system will also be provided. All guest lecturers are invited to participate in a social programme.

Visa: As an international employee at Aarhus University staying in Denmark for less than 3 months you will not need to obtain a residence and work permit before coming to Denmark. However, citizens from some countries may be requested to hold an Entry Visa in order to enter Denmark.

The International Centre at Aarhus University will provide you with a letter of invitation and employment in order for you to apply for the Entry Visa. We request that you apply for an Entry Visa immediately after you have received the letter of employment /invitation from us, since obtaining the Entry Visa for some countries may take more than 2 months.

As a new staff member at Aarhus University in Aarhus you have a number of different options in finding accommodation.

Tax: As an employee at Aarhus University, you must pay tax to the Danish state. The taxes pay for the Danish welfare system, including childcare, education, elderly care, and access to doctors and hospitals. You will benefit from these welfare services while working in Denmark. However, most AU Summer University lecturers come only for a short-term visit. This means that a lot of your work is done in your home country and therefore it is possible to apply for tax exemption. The International Centre and the HR Department at AU will assist you in this process.

Housing: As an employee at Aarhus University in Aarhus you have a number of different options in finding accommodation. The International Centre will send you a housing offer for the duration of your stay here in Aarhus. You may also bring your family along. More precise information regarding housing possibilities is to be announced.

New times at au.dk/en

The university’s website is being redesigned. The design and content will therefore change, and you may experience for a while that old and new sections are mixed together, and that the content is not in its usual place.

We hope that the new website will make up for any inconvenience, and that you will enjoy greater coherence throughout and find the website simpler to use.

Why are we making a mess?

In the time ahead, you will notice a mixture of old and new designs in the pages on the website.

In spring 2011, Aarhus University’s nine main academic areas were reduced to four, and the fifty-five departments became twenty-six. This was to unify the organisation and to strengthen the university’s interdisciplinary approach. We are now following suit by restructuring the entire website to ensure more coherence in the content and design.

Such an exercise takes time – and we hope you will bear with us!

Take a short cut

Under the HOT KEY at the top right, you can find links to the most frequently used content on the website, as well as the two new universes for staff and students.

Where can I find it?

Use the new mega dropdowns to get an overview of the website’s content. They open when you run your mouse over the navigation at the top.
