Developing solutions for healthy food production while decreasing environmental impact and increasing animal welfare is the main focus in the Agrobiology programme at Aarhus University. Topics of study are genetics, biotechnology, production systems, and the interaction of agriculture with nature, among others. The programme is broadly science-based with a focus on applicability and problem-solving, and takes an integrative approach to learning about the biology of food production.

A CROSS-SECTORAL APPROACH

The core of this programme is biology, with perspectives on sustainability, environmental impact, animal health and welfare, plant health, and product quality. Students can choose between specialisations including animal nutrition, plant nutrition, animal health and welfare, plant health, and pest management, or combine animal and plant sciences. Because this is a cross-disciplinary education, students can also choose courses from other academic programmes.

Students will learn analytical and problem-solving skills, how to do research, and how to generate new knowledge. In this programme emphasis is placed as much on academic and professional skills as on applied skills.

AN INTERNATIONAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

International students make up roughly one-third of each class, providing students with international knowledge and perspectives and the possibility to learn about different academic and agricultural environments. Because agriculture industries and environmental impacts are international, it is natural to include different national perspectives in discussions about these topics.

Denmark is an ideal place to study agriculture because of its huge food production industry, extensive agricultural research, and strict environmental regulations. International students gain the chance to learn from leaders in sustainable food production, and Danish students can learn about conditions outside Denmark.

A WORLD RESEARCH LEADER

Aarhus University’s research in agricultural sciences is cutting-edge and puts it in the front rank of agricultural science institutions worldwide. The core areas of research are: climate and natural resources, environment and bioenergy, organic farming, food quality, farm animal production, and plant production.

Sustainability is a fundamental principle. The goal is to seek solutions that contribute to environmentally and economically sustainable development of the agricultural and food industries.

CAREERS

Most students who complete this programme find employment in the private sector as consultants or in R&D. Other career possibilities include feed or supply companies, plant and animal genetics and breeding, plant protection, teaching, and working with authorities to develop or enforce industry regulations.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Students must have a bachelor’s degree in life science such as plant, animal, or veterinary science. Preference is given to those with an agriculture background. A basic knowledge of biochemistry, statistics, genetics, evolution, or animal nutrition is also beneficial for this programme.

SELECTION CRITERIA

As the Master’s programme admits only a limited number of students each year, meeting the admission requirements does not itself guarantee admission to the programme. Student places are allocated on basis of an overall assessment. In evaluating qualified applicants, the admissions committee assesses applicants according to the following criteria: academic background; overall grade level of bachelor’s degree; grades achieved on relevant courses; and relevant courses (measured in credit units) included in the bachelor’s degree.

Relevant courses include core courses within the subject areas of agrobiology, chemistry, biochemistry, cytology, zoology, botany, mathematics, statistics, and probability calculus. The programme attracts students who like applied sciences, have an interest in farming and agriculture, and want to make a difference.

IN THE RANKINGS

Agricultural Sciences at Aarhus University ranks 9. in the 2021 US News Best Global Universities Ranking and 2. in the 2020 Shanghai Academic Ranking of World Universities, in which Food Science and Technology ranks 2. and Agriculture and Forestry at AU ranks 37. in the 2022 QS World University Rankings by Subject.

A fusion of biology, statistics, and computer science, the MSc in Bioinformatics programme explores the development and application of computational solutions for analysing and handling biological and biomedical data. A successful bioinformatics solution combines theoretical and practical knowledge from several areas of science, including biology, statistics, and computer science – a network of competencies that students will acquire through this programme.

FINDING SOLUTIONS

The field of bioinformatics plays a key role in modern biology and biomedicine, fields in which collecting and analysing large data sets is essential. To address the challenges of big data in modern biology and biomedicine, a bioinformatician must combine practical and theoretical skills in statistical modelling and computer programming with a deep knowledge of biology and biomedicine. This programme gives students the necessary skills to tackle these challenges.

Teaching is greatly influenced by the innovative bioinformatics research taking place at Aarhus University, where all lecturers are also active researchers. AU has strong research groups within many areas of bioinformatics, including evolutionary bioinformatics (the study of how and in what way genomes or hereditary material in organisms develop over the course of time) and medical bioinformatics (the study of the correlations between diseases and genetic factors).

The bioinformatics programme at AU is based at the Bioinformatics Research Centre (BiRC), which focuses on the challenges involved in large-scale genomics and population genetics, including statistical modelling, algorithmic development, machine learning, and high-performance computing.

STUDENT LIFE

Bioinformatics students are affiliated with the Bioinformatics Research Centre, a vibrant community with lots of regular academic and social activities for both students and staff. Students meet their peers from the other AU science programmes through joint lectures, and can participate in activities with students from programmes such as Molecular Biology, Biology or Computer Science. A number of student organisations also arrange academic activities, as well as excursions, celebrations, and social get-togethers.

CAREERS

Graduates with a Master’s in Bioinformatics are equipped not only to work as bioinformatics specialists in the biotechnology industry, but also in additional areas in which computational skills in analysing large amounts of data are essential. They are also in demand among employers in the IT industry as potential software developers.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Students are qualified to apply if their Bachelor’s degree contains 15 ECTS within the fields of mathematics and statistics, 15 ECTS within either programming and algorithmics or molecular biology and genetics, and an additional 60 ECTS within one of the above topics or bioinformatics.

SELECTION CRITERIA

As the Master’s programme admits only a limited number of students each year, meeting the admission requirements does not in itself guarantee admission to the programme. Student places are allocated on the basis of an overall assessment. In evaluating qualified applicants, the admissions committee assesses applicants according to the following criteria: academic background; overall grade level of Bachelor’s degree; grades achieved on relevant courses; and relevant courses (measured in credit units) included in the Bachelor’s degree. Relevant courses include core courses within the subject areas of bioinformatics, mathematics and statistics, programming and algorithmics, and molecular biology and genetics.

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

With a combination of two specialisations, elective courses, and projects, there are many ways to structure your Bioinformatics Master’s programme. All students must write a thesis (30 ECTS) and produce a 10 ECTS project. All students must also follow a mandatory course in either computational thinking or molecular evolution depending on their background. The mandatory course can be part of a specialisation, which makes it possible to have one more elective course. The 10 ECTS project can be scheduled in any semester, which makes it possible to study abroad during the third semester.

Website	https://masters.au.dk/business-administration/businesspsychology

The MSc in Business Administration - Business Psychology addresses the increasing demand for business professionals with a deep understanding of psychology in a business context. It does so by adding a business psychology specialisation on top of a solid business foundation gained at the bachelor’s degree level.

OVERVIEW

The MSc in Business Administration – Business Psychology is a cross-disciplinary programme where students are taught by lecturers from management, economics and psychology. To ensure professional relevance, the programme has been developed in collaboration with professionals working in areas related to business psychology.

The MSc in Business Administration - Business Psychology prepares students to perform in contemporary HR and communication functions, as organisational and change management consultants, in executive management support functions, or as project managers – both within the private and public sector.

DEEP PSYCHOLOGICAL UNDERSTANDING OF MODERN BUSINESSES

Contemporary businesses are operating in highly competitive environments and are solving increasingly complex problems requiring cooperation within and across skill sets, functions and organisations. Work is more than ever performed in teams, responsibility is largely delegated, and organisations go through major changes at an increased frequency.

As a result, it is imperative for businesses to develop a profound understanding of human behaviour and psychology to sustain their performance, ensure employee well-being, effectively implement organisational changes, formulate strategies for altering behaviours, foresee the consequences of delegation, and communicate within organisations as well as with external stakeholders.

To fulfil these needs, the first two semesters provide students with knowledge of the psychological and behavioural foundations of decision-making, communication, stakeholder relations, and moral judgement, as well as workplace psychology, behavioural design, and methods and tools relevant to business psychology. Each course in the programme is cross-disciplinary by design.

In their third semester, students are free to choose between elective subjects or an internship. Finally, students use their fourth semester to write their master’s thesis.

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

The programme consists of two semesters in the first year which cover the compulsory courses in the programme specialisation and two semesters in the last year which are reserved for the student's own specialisation.

In the third semester you can choose elective courses within your areas of interest. You can also participate in project-based internship programmes either in Denmark or abroad. The fourth semester is devoted to the final thesis.

Compulsory courses include:

Judgement and Decision-Making
Workplace Psychology
Organisational Theory
Communication Psychology
Organisational Interventions
Business Psychology Methods

The research project and thesis are supervised by a researcher in the department and may be carried out in collaboration with an external partner.

STUDENT LIFE

The Department of Chemistry has an active student environment, with both academic and social activities arranged by our student organisations. During your time as a master’s student you will be working closely with team members in one of the research groups, as well as participating in the academic and social events of the group.

CAREERS

There are more chemistry openings in Denmark than there are domestic graduates to fill them, making unemployment very low for graduates in chemistry.

Graduates from the MSc Chemistry programme typically find work in research, development, teaching, communication, or consulting in both public and private sectors. Aarhus University alumni have found interesting careers with a broad range of companies including Haldor Topsøe, Novo Nordisk, Eurofins, DuPont, Arla, Novonesis, Vestas, and LEGO.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Students must have a bachelor’s degree amounting to at least 60 ECTS credits in Chemistry. Other qualifications can also provide admission to the Master’s programme, subject to the university’s assessment that their level, extent, and content correspond to the degrees mentioned above.

SELECTION CRITERIA

As the Master’s programme admits only a limited number of students each year, meeting the admission requirements does not in itself guarantee admission to the programme. Student places are allocated on the basis of an overall assessment. In evaluating qualified applicants, the admissions committee assesses applicants according to the following criteria: academic background; overall grade level of bachelor’s degree; grades achieved on relevant courses; and relevant courses (measured in credit units) included in the bachelor’s degree.

Relevant courses include core courses within the subject areas of chemistry, mathematics, physics, and statistics.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

In general, admission to a master’s degree programme requires successful completion of a relevant and recognised university degree equivalent to a Danish bachelor’s degree in level and length (180 ECTS).

Duration	2 years
Tuition per term (Non-EU/EAA/CH)	4600 EUR
Website	https://masters.au.dk/cognitivescience

Cognitive Science is the study of the human mind, brain, and behaviour. Cognitive scientists use advanced statistical modelling and sensitive experimental methods to reveal the nature of cognitive processes. They do this to advance our knowledge of human thought and behaviour and apply this knowledge in real-world settings.

Cognitive scientists are trained to develop a rigorous theoretical understanding of topics such as human decision-making, problem-solving, language and communication, action and movement, and attention and perception. They are trained to use experimental methods including functional brain imaging, eye-tracking, behavioural experiments, and computational modelling.

PROGRAMME CONTENT

Aarhus University’s MSc in Cognitive Science is Denmark’s first advanced cognitive science degree programme. It builds on our successful BSc in Cognitive Science and is designed to provide students with the advanced knowledge and methods required to work in the field.

Students in the MSc will learn how to develop their own computational models of behaviour, how to process natural language and text data, and how to analyse very large datasets. They will complete advanced courses in neuroscience and neuroimaging, human decision-making, and human–machine interaction. Classes and exams are heavily project-based and are designed to allow students to develop a rich portfolio of project work during their study.

During the programme, students will have the opportunity to use their training in project placements with other organisations. They may also have the opportunity to develop these projects further in their MSc thesis.

For their thesis, students may develop their own research project, or they may choose to complete their thesis work in the context of one of the many research centres and funded projects that make up the rich cognitive science research environment at Aarhus University.

CAREERS

Graduates from the MSc programme are trained to enter any field that requires skills in experimental design and statistical modelling of human behaviour. They will be particularly well suited to careers in the following four sectors:

Consumer cognition: with their knowledge of how people perceive and pay attention to their environment and how they make decisions, cognitive science graduates will be well qualified to assist organisations in developing more engaging products and marketing materials.
Cognitive analytics: with their skills in advanced statistical modelling, combined with their ability to apply those skills to explain complex human behaviour, cognitive science graduates will be well qualified to assist organisations in maximising the use of existing databases to develop new strategies and products.
Design of information technology: with their specific skills in analysing human–machine interaction, cognitive science graduates will be well qualified to assist companies in developing new technologies for human use in both the design and testing phase of research and development.
Sensory science: with their detailed knowledge of how the brain transforms light, sound, and chemical energy into sensory information and how it combines that information into perceptions of the world, cognitive science graduates will be well qualified for R&D in the food industry and audio technology.

Economics and Business Administration (Herning)

Bachelor of Economics and Business Administration, 180 ECTS

Economics, commerce, management and accounting

Institution	Aarhus University (AU)
Campus	Herning
Duration	3 years
Tuition per term (Non-EU/EAA/CH)	4250 EUR
Website	https://bachelor.au.dk/en/economics-and-business-administration-auhe

This programme aims to give students a broad introduction to a number of economic, legal, and organisational issues within the field of business. In addition to business issues, the programme also considers socioeconomic aspects and the interaction between economics and business administration.

In specific terms, students learn to analyse a company’s financial problems and issues and to develop business strategies.

Students also learn about organisation, marketing, logistics, accounting, project management, and innovation. They will develop insight into the theories and methods used to understand companies’ internal and external relations.

The programme brings together students who share a common interest in what goes on in companies, organisations, and in society at large.

Some students will be crazy about everything relating to stocks and bonds, others are mostly interested in management – but all will share a fundamental interest in business administration.

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE, TEAMWORK AND PROJECTS

The programme offered in Herning will to a significant extent be connected to local and national business, so that students learn how business theory makes contact with real world business cases. At the same time the programme emphasises empirically oriented group work and projects. Through project-based teamwork, students will learn how to act as business professionals in teams.

The programme taught in Herning thus combines courses focused on cases and teams, with classic business courses identical to the programme in Aarhus. These classic courses teach financial and managerial accounting, organisation, micro- and macroeconomics, marketing, finance, operations management, industrial organisation, and strategy. There are also a number of prerequisite courses in mathematics and statistics.

SOCIAL AND ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES

Aarhus BSS hosts a rich and varied programme of activities for you as a student, both study-related and social. Our many student associations host events ranging from lectures and company events to career days and sports days, Friday bars, and celebrations, so there is plenty of scope for meeting and networking with like-minded people, discovering new areas of academic interest, and socialising with fellow students.

CAREERS

Graduates of the programme have everything they need to handle business administration issues in both multinational and international companies – whether in trade and industry, the service sector, financial institutions, or in accountancy or consultancy. The degree also qualifies graduates for further studies at master’s level in Denmark or abroad.

Economics and Business Administration - Finance

Master (2 years) of Economics and Business Administration (Finance), 120 ECTS

Economics, commerce, management and accounting

Institution	Aarhus University (AU)
Campus	Aarhus
Duration	2 years
Tuition per term (Non-EU/EAA/CH)	5000 EUR
Tuition per term (EU/EAA/CH)	0 EUR
Website	https://masters.au.dk/finance

The Master’s degree programme in finance is a comprehensive, research-based university education in finance with a strong focus on developing quantitative and analytical skills relevant to the financial industry. The programme introduces the students to state-of-the-art theoretical and empirical models of financial decision-making, asset and derivative pricing, financial institutions and intermediaries, and corporate finance.

Financial theory and asset pricing
Students will obtain a strong foundation in standard financial theory and learn how to apply both theoretical and empirical models to analyse financial assets such as stocks, bonds and derivatives, as well as real assets such as investment projects within the firm. The objective is to equip the students with the ability to demine the fair prices of financial and real assets using relevant asset pricing models, identify the risk premia required by investors for bearing risk and discuss their sources, and characterise how investors and financial institutions trade off risk and return when forming optimal portfolios.

Financial institutions
Students are introduced to the different players in financial markets today and study their role in setting prices and allocating capital. Asset managers and intermediaries are central to the financial system. They provide liquidity to market participants, facilitate financial transactions and risk-sharing and help ensure an optimal capital allocation between financial institutions, firms and households. The students will learn about asset management in financial institutions and discuss the role, impact and importance of asset managers and intermediaries for the financial system.

Analytical and quantitative skills
Students will be trained in relevant econometric methods needed to carry out empirical studies and implement both theoretical and empirical models in finance using real-world financial data. Being able to handle and work with data is becoming an essential and highly valued skill, and the use of real-world data is thus a natural component of many courses on the programme and used in exercises, exams and written projects. The use of programming languages is widely adopted in the industry as well, and the use of programming languages is therefore integrated into courses and exams when relevant.

SOCIAL AND ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES

Aarhus BSS hosts a rich and varied programme of activities for you as a student, both study-related and social. Our many student associations host events ranging from lectures and company events to career days and sports days, Friday bars, and celebrations, so there is plenty of scope for meeting and networking with like-minded people, discovering new areas of academic interest, and socialising with fellow students.

CAREERS

Upon graduation, students can take up positions in banks, investment companies, pension companies, regulatory bodies, consultancy firms, fintech and finance departments in non-financial companies. The degree programme also provides an excellent basis for a subsequent PhD programme.

Economics and Business Administration - International Economic Consulting

Master (2 years) of Science in Economics and Business Administration (International Economic Consulting), 120 ECTS

Economics, commerce, management and accounting

Institution	Aarhus University (AU)
Campus	Aarhus
Duration	2 years
Tuition per term (Non-EU/EAA/CH)	5000 EUR
Tuition per term (EU/EAA/CH)	0 EUR
Website	https://masters.au.dk/internationaleconomicconsulting

How can CO2 quotas be priced and distributed efficiently? Which pipelines need to be built in order to secure the EU’s future gas supply? Do Bangladeshi farmers benefit more from direct financial support or price guarantees? What are the costs and benefits of spreading public sector activities, e.g. decentralise university educations to a higher degree? How many cars will need a parking space in Copenhagen in the future – and how many public and private electric vehicle-charging stations are needed to accommodate the shift to hybrid and electric cars? Should a company diversify its international providers of inputs and intermediate goods to include more countries than currently?

These and many other challenges situated at the intersection of economics and management form the basis of the MSc in International Economic Consulting. The increasing complexity of international relations has led to a steadily growing demand for international economic consulting services in which consultants have skills to handle the analysis of complex data, to combine the analysis with knowledge about economic business principles, and to report the results in clear writing and oral presentations. Large multinational corporations, regional and national policy-makers, international organisations like the World Bank, the EU, and the OECD, as well as a growing number of non-profit interest groups require sound economic analyses and feasibility studies for a wide range of issues.

USING THEORY TO SOLVE REAL PROBLEMS

The International Economic Consulting programme provides you with the up-to-date theoretical knowledge required for applied economic analyses. Topics ranging from relevant quantitative and empirical methods suitable for sectoral studies, to policy-impact analyses and forecasting, as well as training and concepts required for implementing national and international project consulting will introduce you to the exciting field of international economic consulting.

In the second semester, you get a hands-on experience as an economic consultant. In teams you solve exciting business cases such as ‘To which countries will Danish firms see increased exports next year?’ or ‘What is the best strategy for a company for introducing new products without cannibalizing on own existing products?’ In the third semester, you can choose elective courses at Aarhus University, AU Summer University or (as an exchange student) at one of three hundred partner universities abroad. You also have the possibility to combine electives with an internship to strengthen your practical skill-set. Finally, the fourth semester is devoted to the master’s thesis.

QUALITY TEACHING IN AN INFORMAL SETTING

The MSc in International Economic Consulting is dedicated to the highest-quality teaching in an informal and egalitarian learning environment. Students are always welcome to approach the teaching staff, and they are expected to participate actively in the classroom. Collaborating in small groups on projects gives students the chance to make the most of the international student environment.

CAREERS

The MSc in International Economic Consulting was developed in close cooperation with major players in the industry. As a consequence, its graduates are prepared for a range of job functions where data analysis skills as well as knowledge about economic business principles are required. Past graduates have found jobs as consultants in domestic and international consulting companies, but also as economic advisers in private firms, international organisations, or non-profit organisations, and as analysts in regional or national governments.

Economics and Business Administration - Marketing Analytics and Strategy

Master (2 years) of Science in Economics and Business Administration (Marketing), 120 ECTS

Economics, commerce, management and accounting

Institution	Aarhus University (AU)
Campus	Aarhus
Duration	2 years
Tuition per term (Non-EU/EAA/CH)	5000 EUR
Tuition per term (EU/EAA/CH)	0 EUR
Website	https://masters.au.dk/marketing

The Marketing Analytics and Strategy programme focuses on customer centricity in order to co-create products and services of value to the target market and target customer group that the company is serving. Acknowledging the immersive nature of digital technologies, a rapidly evolving and complex business environment, and the crucial integration of sustainability and diversity aspects into company’s value creation, the programme is built on three main pillars: (1) strategic thinking and management, (2) evidence-based decision-making and (3) the interplay of marketing & society.

This programme delves into decision-making in marketing management, weaving together aspects of a company's business portfolio, competitor dynamics, and macro-environmental trends. It embraces a comprehensive view of marketing management, as a holistic approach to creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging valuable offerings with a broad societal impact. In this broad perspective, marketing is about marketing-oriented management that extends its focus to external stakeholders and societal responsibilities. At the heart of this understanding is the recognition that customers are the centre of a dynamic and connected ecosystem. In said ecosystem, the emphasis is not only on managing the conventional marketing mix but also on consistently designing (connected) customer experiences to achieve and sustain long-term customer loyalty. In a world where customer relationships are evolving into interconnected, omnichannel, seamless, personalised, and even anthropomorphised relationships, the programme addresses both the benefits and challenges involved in building and maintaining enduring, profit-maximising customer relationships.

Drawing on our internationally renowned marketing faculty with its leading experts in digital transformation, marketing management, brand management, marketing analytics and sustainability, the Marketing Analytics and Strategy programme provides a unique and progressive perspective — one where cutting-edge marketing thinking seamlessly interconnects with (i) the latest developments in technology and marketing management, (ii) data-driven decision-making for business, and (iii) the societal impact on business decision and value co-creation.

SOCIAL AND ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES

Aarhus BSS hosts a rich and varied programme of activities for you as a student, both study-related and social. Our many student associations host events ranging from lectures and company events to career days and sports days, Friday bars, and celebrations, so there is plenty of scope for meeting and networking with like-minded people, discovering new areas of academic interest, and socialising with fellow students.

Product and brand management
Customer experience management
Consumer and market research

In today's rapidly changing and interconnected world, firms face an increasing array of choices regarding markets, locations for key activities, ownership modes, and organisation and processes for managing across borders. Globalisation has made it easier for firms to access new markets and customers around the world, tap into new sources of talent, technology, and capital, and spread business risks.Put differently, globalisation has allowed firms to take advantage of favorable economic conditions in different regions and learn from different cultures and ways of doing business. Thus, by operating in multiple countries, firms can stay competitive in an increasingly interconnected and globalised world. However, globalisation also brings significant challenges for firms, such as increased competition from abroad and the need to navigate different cultural, legal, and regulatory environments. International business is, therefore, an important aspect of modern firms, as it allows them to take advantage of the opportunities provided by globalisation while also facing the challenges it brings.

The MSc in International Business equips students with the foundations for taking effective strategic decisions in the multi-layered world of international business. Specifically, the MSc in International Business provides a theoretical frame for the advanced academic study of international business and the solving of practical issues arising in international business.

CAREERS

The degree programme is aimed at providing you with the competences required to take part in the decision-making processes in a business with extensive international commitments or a public institution. There are several career paths e.g. Danish and international businesses where you may be employed by headquarters or by a foreign subsidiary. Most often, the career will start with a job as an analyst, which may lead to a senior position such as Head of specific activities. International service companies offering consultancy services to businesses which lack the necessary capacity within, e.g. financial advice, the conduct of international market analyses, the planning and implementation of FDI, either in the form of the establishment of new subsidiaries and/or acquisitions etc.

Economics and Business Administration - Strategy, Organisation and Leadership

Master (2 years) of Science in Economics and Business Administration (Strategy, Organisation and Leadership), 120 ECTS

Economics, commerce, management and accounting

Institution	Aarhus University (AU)
Campus	Aarhus
Duration	2 years
Tuition per term (Non-EU/EAA/CH)	5000 EUR
Tuition per term (EU/EAA/CH)	0 EUR
Website	https://masters.au.dk/strategyorganisationandleadership

It is a time of transitions in the business community with increasing globalisation, sustainability efforts and digitalisation on the agenda. To act and contribute in tomorrow's emerging business community, skills related to strategy, organisational change and leadership are emphasised. These topics are in focus in this programme, which gives students relevant knowledge, skills, and competences for the future.

THE HUMAN SIDE OF THE ORGANISATION

The MSc programme in Strategy, Organisation and Leadership (SOL) is a generalist degree programme that opens the door to a variety of jobs. The programme emphasises a holistic and cross-functional approach to organisations. The underlying assumption behind everything we teach our students is that humans are the biggest assets of any organisation, and that they lay the foundation for its success. We use classic as well as state-of-the-art research to convey knowledge on how to understand and work with challenges related to corporate and competitive strategy, organisational change, digitalisation, human development, performance and engagement.

DEGREE PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

All the academic staff at Aarhus BSS pursue research and teaching responsibilities simultaneously, and students can thus expect a programme that is up-to-date with the latest research findings. The first semester consists of three pre-requisite courses in organisational theory, strategic leadership and methodology respectively. Together, these courses lay the foundation for understanding how organisations work and how we can interpret and investigate managerial challenges. The second semester provides students with deeper knowledge related to more specialised fields, which help students to further narrow down their future profile. The courses on the second semester cover corporate and competitive strategy, HRM, organisational change as well as how to organise and lead digitalisation. On the third semester, students can choose between a number of elective courses at AU or abroad, or they may apply for internships in private or public organisations.

SOCIAL AND ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES

Aarhus BSS hosts a rich and varied programme of activities for you as a student, both study-related and social. Our many student associations host events ranging from lectures and company events to career days and sports days, Friday bars, and celebrations, so there is plenty of scope for meeting and networking with like-minded people, discovering new areas of academic interest, and socialising with fellow students.

CAREERS

Graduates from Strategy, Organisation and Leadership are generally employed in a broad range of jobs in larger companies or smaller and medium-sized companies. To begin with, they often work across specialist functions and are hired in positions as graduates, executive assistants, team coordinators, project managers, HR or change facilitators, or consultants. Later in their careers, a large proportion of SOL students progress into different kinds of more specialised and formal managerial positions.

Economics and Business Administration - Commercial and Retail Management

Master (2 years) of Science in Economics and Business Administration (Commercial and Retail Management), 120 ECTS

Economics, commerce, management and accounting

Institution	Aarhus University (AU)
Campus	Aarhus
Duration	2 years
Tuition per term (Non-EU/EAA/CH)	5000 EUR
Tuition per term (EU/EAA/CH)	0 EUR
Website	https://masters.au.dk/retailmanagement

The MSc in Commercial and Retail Management is based on the growing challenges faced by the consumer goods industry. It has been developed in close collaboration with prominent actors in the industry.

The degree programme prepares students for a career in the HQ functions of the consumer goods industry and it provides an understanding of the industry’s specific challenges, which paves the way for a faster climb up the career ladder.

During this programme you will acquire qualifications in areas such as retail strategy and innovation, consumer behaviour, business negotiations, pricing, performance management as well as range, category and brand management.

DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF THE VALUE CHAIN

Today, traditional retail trade is supplemented with e-commerce and various hybrids, and more and more communication takes place on social media. Companies must therefore be able to handle an omni-channel situation where a number of different sales and communication channels must be optimised in relation to each other. In addition, the ability to handle big data is becoming increasingly important in the consumer goods industry. This has led to changes in the relationship between supplier and retailer. The supplier must increasingly consider the entire value chain right through to the consumer, while the retailer must structure its supplier relations with an eye for how to create value for the consumer.

The traditional division of the B2B and B2C markets is thus developing towards a much-needed B2B2C mind-set. The degree programme reflects this B2B2C mind-set as the courses Supplier-retailer relations management, Business negotiations and Consumer behaviour in a retail setting cover the entire value chain from supplier to consumer.

Furthermore, students will acquire competences within areas that have a particular focus on the consumer goods industry such as retail strategy and innovation, pricing, performance and margin management, stock and waste management as well as range, category, and brand management. Digital transformation and the use of big data will play a prominent role in the programme and will be present in many courses.

SOCIAL AND ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES

Aarhus BSS hosts a rich and varied programme of activities for you as a student, both study-related and social. Our many student associations host events ranging from lectures and company events to career days and sports days, Friday bars, and celebrations, so there is plenty of scope for meeting and networking with like-minded people, discovering new areas of academic interest, and socialising with fellow students.

CAREERS

The degree programme prepares students for a career in various HQ functions in the consumer goods industry. Based on the value chain approach, students will be able to undertake many functions in either the supply or retail link of the value chain, especially within the consumer goods industry; from category manager or procurement manager to key account manager.

Economics and Business Administration - Strategic Value Chain Management

Master (2 years) of Economics and Business Administration, 120 ECTS

Economics, commerce, management and accounting

Institution	Aarhus University (AU)
Campus	Aarhus
Duration	2 years
Tuition per term (Non-EU/EAA/CH)	5000 EUR
Website	https://masters.au.dk/businesstobusiness

Management extends beyond a single company. A company is dependent on money, supplies, services, and knowledge from a range of suppliers and customers, often spread out over the global business landscape. Unlike most other MSc specialisations, which focus on management within the individual company, the MSc in Strategic Value Chain Management (SVCM) deals with managing the global value chains that the company is part of. The SVCM programme enables graduates to manage the exchanges and relationships with these suppliers and customers, thereby gaining access to external resources required for realising corporate strategy.

Companies often refer to this MSc programme as industrial or B2B procurement/purchasing and sales/marketing. But this management task is not just about buying and selling or marketing products, services, and knowledge on global markets. The SVCM manager becomes responsible for managing, developing, and coordinating a complex range of exchanges with customers and suppliers. The cornerstones of this MSc programme are learnings about the management of the economic and social exchange between the company and other companies in its value chain. Students also become familiar with understanding and managing the legal and technological exchanges, although the former is not a primary focus on the education.

Moreover, the SVCM programme enables candidates to become boundary spanners. Boundary spanners manage these exchanges through relationships with customers and suppliers by building bridge across organisational boundaries, essentially linking their own company with complex chains and network of suppliers and customers across the world. The boundary spanner must establish and develop relationship with other boundary spanners representing various customers and suppliers, but at the same time also maintain a strategic perspective of how one buyer-supplier exchange is dependent on the surrounding network. Strategic decision-making is therefore an essential part of value chain management.

SOCIAL AND ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES

Aarhus BSS hosts a rich and varied programme of activities for you as a student, both study-related and social. Our many student associations host events ranging from lectures and company events to career days and sports days, Friday bars, and celebrations, so there is plenty of scope for meeting and networking with like-minded people, discovering new areas of academic interest, and socialising with fellow students.

CAREERS

Job opportunities for SVCM graduates are exceptional, given that almost all companies in the global business environment operate in extended value chains. As a starting point, the SVCM graduate is perfectly prepared for a job in both the sales/marketing and procurement functions, and some choose to alternate between the two in the course of their careers. These functions are heavily populated in many companies, and candidates have the opportunity to rise all the way from junior positions through middle management and into top management in their career.

Economics and Business Administration - Digital Business Management

Master (2 years) of Economics and Business Administration, 120 ECTS

Economics, commerce, management and accounting

Institution	Aarhus University (AU)
Campus	Aarhus
Duration	2 years
Tuition per term (Non-EU/EAA/CH)	5000 EUR
Website	https://masters.au.dk/digitalbusinessmanagement

The MSc programme in Digital Business Management addresses the increasing demand for business professionals who are able to apply digital technologies and data-driven methods to create new business opportunities, creating graduates who understand the effects of digital technologies on management, organisation and work in corporations. The Digital Business Management track qualifies you to contribute to the acceleration of digital development and to bring new digital skills into companies that are either born digital or are on the threshold of a digital transformation.

DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF THE DIGITAL BUSINESS

Digital technologies have become a driving force behind business transformation for companies of all sizes across all industries and sectors. Digital transformation involves the development of structures and processes that allow the company not only to leverage data and algorithms to improve its efficiency but to facilitate interactions with customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders, as well as create new business models, products, and services. As a result, it is imperative for companies to address digitalisation as a holistic, company-wide change process that blurs the line between business and technology. This implies a fundamental change in the management and organisation of companies, creating new demand for innovative employees with digital skills who are qualified to work in the intersection between business and technology within all areas of the business.

The MSc programme in Digital Business Management addresses the increasing demand for business professionals with digital competencies that cover both technical skills (e.g. programming skills) and non- technical skills (digital business understanding and the ability to drive digital innovation). The programme builds on business administration, digital technologies, IT, and data science, as well as organisational and management perspectives. It provides you with a deep understanding of theories and strategies within the field of digital business, as well as hands-on experience with advanced methods and tools used in the intersection between business and technology.

SOCIAL AND ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES

Aarhus BSS hosts a rich and varied programme of activities for you as a student, both study-related and social. Our many student associations host events ranging from lectures and company events to career days, sports days, Friday bars, and celebrations, so there is plenty of scope for meeting and networking with like-minded people, discovering new areas of academic interest, and socialising with fellow students.

CAREERS

The MSc degree in Digital Business Management prepares you to lead and manage the digital transformation of companies of all sizes and to create business opportunities using digital technologies and data-driven methods. Positions include e.g. Digital Business Developer, Digital Transformation Specialist, Product Owner, Data Scientist, or Consultant.

Economics and Business Administration - Management Accounting and Control

Master (2 years) of Science in Economics and Business Administration (Management Accounting and Control), 120 ECTS

Economics, commerce, management and accounting

Institution	Aarhus University (AU)
Campus	Aarhus
Duration	2 years
Tuition per term (Non-EU/EAA/CH)	5000 EUR
Tuition per term (EU/EAA/CH)	0 EUR
Website	https://masters.au.dk/managementaccountingandcontrol

Management Accounting – also known as Management Control – is a fundamental aspect of business administration. Management Accounting is the primary language of business, and it creates the foundation for discussions of a company’s financial performance, as well as the non-financial dimensions of performance. Hence, Management Accounting is the sweet spot where numbers and data meet management and decisions.

Working with measurement and evaluation systems, the provision of incentives and adjustments of behaviour hold the potential for controlling cost and performance at all levels within an organisation, and thereby ensure value creation. You will be able to create transparency and financially sound solutions for a company by developing and analysing performance, cost and profitability. This skillset allows you to identify and solve potential strategic and operational problems in companies/organisations (private and publicly traded companies, governmental organisations, municipalities, hospitals, etc.) To deal with these problems, you will learn how to design and implement incentive, budgeting, and performance management systems to coordinate and motivate departments, teams or individuals to change their behaviour and correct the situation.

To complement these analytical skills, you will also be introduced to ERP systems (SAP) and other IT software, e.g., business intelligence in Power BI.

The MAC programme has a strong tradition of collaborating with companies, as companies have a very high demand for the skillset learned by students on the MAC programme. The MAC programme has more than 10 partner companies that include top consulting firms, manufacturers, retailers etc. These partnerships involve guest lectures, social events, awards, and other interesting activities. We also collaborate closely with companies on internships, theses, project work, etc. Therefore, our programmes are based on a theoretical foundation in combination with practical, real-world problems and solutions.

SOCIAL AND ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES

Aarhus BSS hosts a rich and varied programme of activities for you as a student, both study-related and social. Our many student associations host events ranging from lectures and company events to career days and sports days, Friday bars, and celebrations, so there is plenty of scope for meeting and networking with like- minded people, discovering new areas of academic interest, and socialising with fellow students.

CAREERS

Graduates from the Management Accounting and Control programme are qualified for a variety of different types of job. Many have found jobs as controllers across a range of different organisations, and some have become business consultants. Our graduates have taken up jobs both in Denmark and abroad, and their attractive skill set allows them to climb their chosen career ladder rapidly.

INSIGHT INTO CULTURES AND INDUSTRIES

In the Master’s programme, you can specialise with a combination of obligatory and elective courses as you build on your BA and work with contemporary topics in one of the three theme areas: English-language literature, linguistics, and the history, society, and culture of the English-speaking world.

Whether your passion is for Anglophone literature, language, history, or all things English, the degree programme allows you to immerse yourself in the latest developments within your field of interest. You will engage in depth with the issue of what constitutes evidence within the fields of literature, linguistics, culture, and history. You will gain greater insight into standard English, its variations, and the changes that have shaped it around the world, as well as myths about language itself. You will gain an understanding of the way cultural phenomena can influence literature, and how literature in turn can influence culture. Approaching literary works with new reading techniques and theories, you will work with creative processes, storytelling, and adaptation, and learn how creativity can be commercialised. Working with cultural heritage, social media, film, and other elements of visual culture, and engaging deeply with current concerns such as identity politics, gender and media, and transnationalism, you will learn how to apply historical, social, and cultural knowledge within contemporary markets.

EUROPEAN STUDIES, EUROPEAN CONNECTIONS

Europe is becoming more and more important. As Europeans become more closely connected, the EU makes decisions that affect every European nation, every level of industry, and virtually every business. However, this view of international relations is constantly challenged and discussed. In European Studies, you will learn to analyse both the problems and the possibilities inherent in the European collaboration – and in Europe in general. You will deal not only with EU institutions, but also with analyses of cultural, social, and political processes in Europe – and the question of what Europe really is.

The Master’s programme in European Studies is for anyone with a Bachelor’s degree in a relevant social science or humanities subject who would like to add a European perspective to their education. The aim of the degree programme is to give you general knowledge of European conditions, political as well as historical and cultural, and to build on the insight you gained in your BA studies.

NEW INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVES

The degree programme is aimed at students with a solid academic background who would like to add a European dimension to their education. You will acquire knowledge of European affairs to supplement your Bachelor’s degree. The European dimension is useful whether you wish to work with political institutions, international organisations, the business community, the media, in teaching, or with cultural understanding. This is also an international Master’s programme in which your fellow students will have come from all over the world. All instruction therefore takes place in English, and students speak English both during class and after hours.

WORK INTERNATIONALLY AND INTERCULTURALLY

With a Master’s in European Studies, you are qualified to analyse, understand, and work not only with European diversity, but also everything that brings Europeans together. European Studies is an interdisciplinary and multicultural degree programme, and therefore prepares you to work in international organisations, large corporations, and in public administration.

DEPARTMENT OF GLOBAL STUDIES

The Department of Global Studies provides a distinct approach to understanding our contemporary world by combining language-based area studies of Brazil, China, Japan, India, and Russia with European and International Studies and a global perspective. As an academic field, Global Studies was born only in the late 1990s and it grew exponentially in importance in the 2000s. Its main elements find their root cause in the insight that contemporary global conditions cannot be studied only in terms of states and their interactions. Taking a holistic approach, Global Studies takes history, cultural studies, and anthropology just as seriously as political science, sociology, and economics.

In step with this approach, we understand nations and regions not as cultural containers, but as globally connected. Likewise, disciplines are understood not as knowledge containers, but as connected ways of addressing similar questions.

Students at the Department of Global Studies grow to become critical and self-confident citizens of the contemporary global world. Graduates are well prepared for work in research, in teaching, in public institutions and ministries, as well as within the private sector, where global competencies, even in small and medium-sized enterprises, are increasingly in demand.

Anthropology - Visual Anthropology

Master (2 years) of Science in Anthropology , 120 ECTS

Humanities, social sciences, communication and arts

Institution	Aarhus University (AU)
Campus	Aarhus
Duration	2 years
Tuition per term (Non-EU/EAA/CH)	4000 EUR
Tuition per term (EU/EAA/CH)	0 EUR
Website	https://masters.au.dk/anthropology

Whether they study the traditions of an indigenous group in Brazil or the social organisation of an international fashion company, anthropologists are concerned with identifying the cultural norms, beliefs, and power structures that make up communities. The MSc in Anthropology at Aarhus University equips students to delve into and analyse the everyday life of human societies – whether across the globe or just around the corner – and the routines, rhythms, and rituals that keep them going.

The programme offers first-rank training in theory, data collection, and analysis, combined with a strong emphasis on learning through fieldwork practice and other engagements with the outside world. It provides students with a thorough foundation in anthropological theory and social analysis, as well as a strong focus on qualitative research methods and robust project design. Designed to allow students to approach any social context in a world of constant change, the programme revolves around the students’ own ideas and projects, developed in a continuous dialogue with senior researchers and supervisors.

VISUAL ANTHROPOLOGY

We offer a specialised English-language track in Visual Anthropology as part of the larger MSc programme in Anthropology. The track builds on a classical anthropological approach, studying human life in all its social and cultural forms, while also teaching students to work anthropologically with audio-visual media and methods in a world mediated increasingly through sound, pictures, and digital media.

Students do practical and theoretical work with experimental fieldwork methods using a camera. Hands-on workshops involve working with (for instance) the production of ethnographic films, the design of audio-visual projects and exhibitions, and exploring the use of the camera as an analytical tool.

In the first and second semester, you will take theoretical, thematic, and methodological courses, some of which will be shared with students on our general Anthropology track (these shared courses are taught in English). During your second and third semester, you gain practical experience by preparing and conducting an extended anthropological fieldwork, or alternatively by completing an internship at a Danish or international company or organisation. When it comes to choosing the topic for their final thesis, most students draw on material they have collected during their fieldwork semesters. In the third semester, you will begin to analyse your field data and focus on future employment possibilities. In the fourth semester, you will prepare your Master’s thesis, with the possibility of creating an audio-visual product – such as a film or an exhibition element – as part of your thesis.

CAMPUS MOESGAARD

Campus Moesgaard is a unique place. It includes the university departments, Moesgaard Library, a joint library for anthropology and archaeology, as well as the Moesgaard Museum. In the library you will find study space, including space reserved for students writing their thesis. You can sign out electronic equipment such as video cameras and digital voice recorders to complete research, and then book time in the newly installed editing suite to shape your resultant films. The MoCa Canteen is run by a local Aarhus sustainable food collective and is also an important social hub, while the adjoining flexible space provides a venue for receptions as well as the regular Friday evening bar. You will also have the opportunity to see the many changing exhibits at the Moesgaard Museum during your time here. As a student at Moesgaard, you can access the museum for free by showing your valid student card.

Human Security

Master (2 years) of Human Security, 120 ECTS

Humanities, social sciences, communication and arts Interdisciplinary Studies Law, public administration, public order and safety

Institution	Aarhus University (AU)
Campus	Aarhus
Duration	2 years
Tuition per term (Non-EU/EAA/CH)	4000 EUR
Tuition per term (EU/EAA/CH)	0 EUR
Website	https://masters.au.dk/humansecurity

Human Security is a unique interdisciplinary Master’s programme and the first of its kind in Europe. Over your two years of study, you will learn several approaches to human security, and you will achieve a deep understanding of conflicts and ecosystems all over the world. You will learn to analyse and intervene in settings comprising complex and interwoven social, environmental, economic, and political factors. At the same time, you will develop the ability to carry out an informed and critical analytical assessment of human and environmental safety by combining scientific theories with real-life experiences.

A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO SECURITY

During recent years, the concept of “human security” has become a rallying point for understanding and working with processes of human development in unstable environments. Growing challenges posed by global environmental change threaten to trigger a rapid escalation in conflicts throughout the world. Intensified competition for scarce resources, dwindling supplies of essential commodities, and a continued increase in global population rates are just some of these challenges. While human security is about the absence of physical violence, it is also more than this: human security is about freedom from fear, which is also freedom from want, and being able to live a life with dignity.

AN INSPIRING LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

The programme, which is taught at the historic Moesgaard Campus, is the fruit of a collaboration between the School of Culture and Society at the Faculty of Arts and the faculties of Science and Technical Sciences. The programme lecturers come from a variety of departments and backgrounds including Anthropology and Bioscience, supplemented by visiting lecturers from around the globe. The programme is interdisciplinary both in academic content and in its student body: our students come from all over the world and from very different academic backgrounds – the humanities, social science, natural science – which enriches and enlivens the learning atmosphere.

CAREERS

Graduating with a Master’s in Human Security will open job opportunities across many different sectors. Depending on your interest, you will be able to work for NGOs, international organisations, governmental agencies, private companies, or consultancies dealing with issues and topics that involve human security. The programme’s Human Security Profiles contain concrete career examples – see www.humansecurity.dk/profiles.

DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY

The Department of Anthropology, in which the Human Security programme is based, is among the strongest academic environments in Europe. The department attracts guest researchers, PhD students and students from all over the world. Our teaching is deeply anchored in our research specialisations within globalisation and development, innovation and design, and medical as well as visual anthropology.

Cultural and language differences shape the everyday life of individuals and organisations in our increasingly interdependent and transnational world. These cultural and language entanglements include different histories and conflicts and are represented in different media and literatures. The increased interconnectivity and transnational mobility of both people and mediated information demand new sensitivities and skills to understand, analyse, and negotiate cultural difference. The Intercultural Studies program prepares students to analyse different contemporary contexts of identity negotiation and interaction, and to engage in planning for professional interaction in globalising spaces while enhancing language competences. Students can choose from four different tracks:

Intercultural Studies (English)
Intercultural Studies (French)
Intercultural Studies (German)
Intercultural Studies (Latin America and Spain)

STUDY PROFILE

The program develops students’ knowledge on diverse conceptualisations of culture and the rich potentials of cultural differences while sharpening language skills to enable intercultural dialogue and collaboration in a global world. The program also contains practical components for students to develop their competences in working innovatively on intercultural issues within and beyond organisations.

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

The four different foreign-language combinations follow a similar basic structure, but address interculturality within specific historical and societal contexts related to the English, French, German and Spanish languages. The English track is taught exclusively in English while the other three tracks are taught both in English and in French, German and Spanish respectively.

The Erasmus Mundus Master’s in Journalism, Media and Globalisation offers a unique 360° educational experience. Students on the programme study and live in at least two European countries, interact with classmates from all around the world and engage in lively and insightful discussions in a thriving interdisciplinary and intercultural environment.

The MA in Journalism, Media and Globalisation lies at the intersection between social sciences and humanities, combining theoretical and practice-oriented approaches to journalism studies. The fruit of this cross- disciplinary approach is a joint understanding that cuts across academic disciplines, journalistic genres, and geographical and cultural settings.

The degree has been a part of the Erasmus Mundus study programme since 2005 and has continually evolved in order to best prepare graduates for the global changes that increasingly challenge traditional boundaries between media, politics, technology, and culture(s).

STUDY AT LEADING INSTITUTIONS

All students spend their first year jointly between Aarhus University – taught by faculty from the Department of Political Science and the Department of Information and Media Studies – and the highly respected Danish School of Media and Journalism. In year two, the programme splits into four specialisations offered by some of Europe’s leading universities.

By choosing a specific specialisation for the second year of studies, students customise their studies within the following areas:

Politics and Communication at the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Totalitarianism and Transition at Charles University, Prague, Czechia
Crisis and Conflict, University of London in the United Kingdom
Cultures and Contexts at The University of Munich, Germany

Please visit www.mundusjournalism.com for more information about the course programmes of the MA in Journalism, Media and Globalisation.

STUDENT LIFE

As a Mundus Journalism student, you can expect a truly intercultural experience, as the programme brings together students from all around the world to join a tight-knit community of inspired and talented young professionals. So far, students from 105 different countries have joined the programme.

In addition to high-standard academics, the programme also offers a variety of extra-curricular activities and student-led initiatives, almost as varied as the countries students come from. From radio stations to theatre groups, from competitive football teams to start-ups, the opportunities for interaction and idea development within the programme are limitless.

Furthermore, many of our students write, photograph, record, tweet and blog their way through the programme. Some work for media outlets in their home countries, while others develop their own platforms and personal take on journalism. Many students also attend academic conferences and publish journal articles stemming from their work, and others work as freelances for leading news outlets.

CAREERS

Graduates of the MA in Journalism, Media and Globalisation are entering successful and stimulating jobs across the world, often and quickly reaching top positions. Graduates usually find work in the intersection between journalism, media, and communication; they take up roles in newsrooms, international organisations, information-based journalism, or communication departments in various global public and private organisations. Many alumni have also chosen to build their career in public relations and communications in intergovernmental organisations, technology start-ups, and global non-profit companies among others.

The programme's combination of different national research traditions and its emphasis on globalisation open future academic and research opportunities. The Mundus Journalism programme has proved itself to be a unique recruitment ground for PhD programs in Europe and overseas, and some of our PhD candidates have continued their path into academia as associate professors and researchers.

Wherever you want to take your career, you can expect to graduate from the Mundus Journalism programme with an extensive network of professional contacts and friends all around the world who will be willing to support you. In addition, Mundus Journalism has established a Mentorship programme where graduates and alumni are matched according to common interests and professional goals. In this way, graduates can benefit from the support and the guidance of seasoned media professionals and further strengthen and widen their budding network.

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

At the end of the two-years programme, students are awarded a joint degree from Aarhus University and from their specialisation university. Furthermore, 10 students can add another academic experience to their study programme by applying for a ‘Study Abroad experience’ of 30 ECTS at a partner university in the second semester of the first year.

Linguistics

Master (2 years) of Linguistics, 120 ECTS

Humanities, social sciences, communication and arts Interdisciplinary Studies Mathematics, natural- and computer science

Institution	Aarhus University (AU)
Campus	Aarhus
Duration	2 years
Tuition per term (Non-EU/EAA/CH)	4000 EUR
Tuition per term (EU/EAA/CH)	0 EUR
Website	https://masters.au.dk/linguistics

The MA in Linguistics at Aarhus University explores the various aspects of language through project-based research under expert supervision. Students in the programme learn to use qualitative, quantitative, and computational methods to examine language description and diversity, the role of language in communication and society, functionalist theories of language, language as a cognitive phenomenon, and experimental and computational approaches to the study of language. In addition to gaining specialised skills in linguistic analysis, students also gain general proficiency in statistics and programming.

A CLOSE COMMUNITY

Linguistics at AU is a medium-sized programme with about a hundred students – so new students are welcomed into a tight-knit academic and social community. Expect many opportunities for dialogue with professors, detailed feedback, and many after-class activities.

The programme is known for its strong international research profile. Teachers have worldwide connections and integrate the newest research developments in their courses. Each semester, students are invited to participate in research projects on a range of subjects.

STUDENT LIFE

Between Lingoland (the department’s own common room) and the regular Lingobar gatherings in the Kommabar on Fridays, life as a linguistics student at AU can extend far beyond coursework. The department’s ViGør student committee (“We can do it” in Danish) and the MA course café are constantly busy organising weekly events for students – so between gatherings inspired by classic Danish hygge (cosiness) with coffee and cake, guest lectures, and Tour de Bars (pub crawls), students have lots to choose from.

The programme has its own student committee, which functions as a forum for students to communicate with the university and share ideas regarding both practical and school-related matters. All students can be active in the programme degree committee, where students and staff make decisions on matters relating to academic affairs.

CAREERS

Graduates of the MA in Linguistics programme are equipped with skills in communication and in the systematisation of complex data. Depending on the area they choose to specialise in, graduates are qualified to take on work as consultants, bilingualism specialists, communications officers, teachers, editors, language therapy consultants, developers of language technology, specialists in endangered languages and, of course, in public relations.

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

The MA program builds toward a thesis project on a subject of the student’s own choosing. The courses in the program prepare students to design experiments and do statistical analyses of the results, investigate the relationship between structure and meaning in language, explore the relationship between linguistic structure and the contextual constraints of usage, understand the diversity of means by which the world’s languages solve similar communicative problems, and use computational methods to investigate linguistic phenomena. Students on the MA programme are involved in two research projects on exciting new topics and have the opportunity to explore the application of linguistics in the workplace through an internship. All students are assigned a staff member as a mentor for the duration of their studies.

Students have a chance to complete project-oriented work with their peers in the first year, and with an external partner in the third semester—a chance to work in a practical setting. Students are encouraged to choose their own research focus throughout the programme, and especially for their MA thesis, and are encouraged to align their projects with their future career goals.

DEPARTMENT OF LINGUISTICS, COGNITIVE SCIENCE AND SEMIOTICS

The Department of Linguistics, Cognitive Science and Semiotics is one of the nine departments at the School of Communication and Culture at the Faculty of Arts.

The teaching at the department is not only research-based, but also research-oriented. Students are encouraged to collect and analyse data and to design and carry out experiments or other empirical investigations, either alone or in cooperation with the research staff. In some cases, students may even have their research published. Students regularly present their research to fellow students and staff at research seminars.

Tuition per term (EU/EAA/CH)	0 EUR
Website	https://masters.au.dk/mathematics

Mathematics is a part of day-to-day life – of using your debit card and navigating by GPS, just as much as making calculations in physics or chemistry or working out the pot odds in an important hand of poker.

RESEARCH AND SPECIALISATION

Teaching at the university is greatly influenced by the research conducted here, as the lecturers are active researchers. When students write their MSc thesis during the final year of the programme, they have excellent opportunities to become affiliated with a group of researchers, which allows them to participate in the group’s research projects and scientific discussions. Students specialise in a subject within a broad area, including one of the three areas of mathematics in which Aarhus University is particularly strong: algebra, analysis, and geometry and topology.

STUDENT LIFE

As a student in the programme, you are based at the Department of Mathematics, which has its own canteen, computer rooms, library, and study areas shared by students. As a master’s student, you will be given your own desk in an office shared with other master’s students. The department also has a number of student organisations such as Euler’s Friends (Eulers Venner) and the Kalkulerbar (Friday bar) organising lectures on current maths topics, study excursions, and social functions.

CAREERS

Graduates from the Department of Mathematics find work across a wide range of fields and institutions including finance, communication, and the wind-power industry in the private sector. Typically, previous graduates are working in universities and research institutions, in the pharmaceutical industry, the telecommunications and finance sectors, and in insurance companies.

Graduates who pursue academic careers at universities are often involved in interdisciplinary work with doctors, biologists or chemists, analysing large amounts of data, or teaching statistics to these professional groups. In the pharmaceutical industry, graduates plan clinical trials or design methods for examining whether new drugs have unwanted side effects. In the insurance industry, graduates typically work as actuaries and may contribute to working out tariffs. Common to all these jobs is the requirement for knowledge of a number of complicated mathematical models – something the MSc in Mathematics will equip you with.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

To enter the Master’s degree programme in Mathematics, you must have obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics or a similar degree. It is a requirement that the qualifying degree has a 10 ECTS programming course and contains at least 60 ECTS math courses covering essentially all of the following topics:

Algebra: the integers, congruences, linear algebra, theory of groups, rings and fields, homomorphisms, isomorphism theorems, permutations, polynomial rings, quotient rings and field extensions

Analysis: supremum property, uniform continuity, series, multivariate differentiability, Lebesgue integration, ordinary differential equations and the residue theorem in complex analysis

Geometry: metric and topological spaces, homeomorphisms, completeness, compactness, connectivity and differential geometry: curves, surfaces, the inverse function theorem for differentiable functions of several variables, fundamental forms, curvature and geodesics

Upon admission, further requirements regarding composition of the degree programme may be stipulated.

SELECTION CRITERIA

As the Master’s programme admits only a limited number of students each year, meeting the admission requirements does not in itself guarantee admission to the programme. Student places are allocated on the basis of an overall assessment. In evaluating qualified applicants, the admissions committee assesses applicants according to the following criteria: academic background; overall grade level of bachelor’s degree; grades achieved on relevant courses; and relevant courses (measured in credit units) included in the bachelor’s degree.

Relevant courses include core courses within abstract algebra, complex analysis, differential equations, elementary differential geometry/ topology and measure and integration.

Medicinal Chemistry

Master (2 years) of Science in Medicinal Chemistry, 120 ECTS

Health care, social services, and care services Mathematics, natural- and computer science

Institution	Aarhus University (AU)
Campus	Aarhus
Duration	2 years
Tuition per term (Non-EU/EAA/CH)	16300 EUR
Tuition per term (EU/EAA/CH)	0 EUR
Website	https://masters.au.dk/medicinal-chemistry

Aarhus University’s MSc in Medicinal Chemistry builds on a strong chemical foundation. It is a flexible study programme that can be tailored to the specific interests of the individual student, while aligning with the interests of industry, research institutions, and the public sector. While the programme is customisable, there is an emphasis on the medicinal aspects of chemistry such as organic synthesis, chemical biology, drug delivery, biophysical chemistry and biomolecular structure and function. The MSc programme is challenging, yet highly rewarding for students interested in how chemistry can be a tool for biological research.

LEARN FROM LEADERS IN THE FIELD

Course content is heavily influenced by the latest research conducted at Aarhus University, as all lecturers are also active researchers. Students are expected to take part in fundamental research projects within the department’s research groups, and there may also be opportunities to work with private companies or public institutions during the programme. Students will be able to specialise within one of the areas of medicinal chemistry in which Aarhus University is particularly strong: organic synthesis; analysis of new bioactive compounds; biomembranes and membrane-bound proteins; microscopic structure of bones and other bioinorganic materials; molecular biophysical chemistry; and drug delivery and chemical biology. Students in the programme have access to high-quality laboratory equipment and tools that allow them to engage in hands-on learning at the cutting edge of science.

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

Students enrolled in the MSc Medicinal Chemistry programme participate in courses during their first year and then complete their studies with a second year of independent research undertaken within a research group, concluding with the production of a thesis. The research project and thesis are supervised by a researcher in the research group and may be carried out in collaboration with an external partner.

STUDENT LIFE

The Department of Chemistry has an active student environment with both academic and social activities arranged by our student organisations. During your time as a master’s student, you will work closely with team members in one of the research groups, as well as participating in the academic and social events of the group.

CAREERS

There are more chemistry openings in Denmark than there are domestic graduates to fill them, making unemployment very low for graduates in Medicinal Chemistry. Medicinal Chemistry graduates have moved into R&D and consultancy jobs in both public and private sectors, and several graduates are currently working in pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. As a graduate of the programme, you will be well-suited to work with pharmaceutical companies such as Novo Nordisk, Novonesis, LeoPharma and Lundbeck. Your strong chemistry background will also give you a point of entry into careers with companies in other sectors, such as IFF, Arla and Eurofins.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

A Bachelor’s degree amounting to at least 60 ECTS credits in medicinal chemistry can qualify the student for admission. Other qualifications can also provide admission to the Master’s programme, provided the university assesses that their level, extent, and content correspond to the degrees mentioned above.

SELECTION CRITERIA

As the Master’s programme admits only a limited number of students each year, meeting the admission requirements does not in itself guarantee admission to the programme. Student places are allocated on the basis of an overall assessment. In evaluating qualified applicants, the admissions committee assesses applicants according to the following criteria: academic background; overall grade level of Bachelor’s degree; grades achieved on relevant courses; and relevant courses (measured in credit units) included in the Bachelor’s degree.

We urge that students interested in studying Medicinal Chemistry at Aarhus University apply to both the Chemistry and Medicinal Chemistry programmes. If accepted into the Chemistry programme instead, Medicinal Chemistry courses can be chosen as electives in the Chemistry programme and thereby tailored to the interests of each student.

Relevant courses include core courses within the subject areas of medicinal chemistry, mathematics, physics and statistics.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

The MSc in Molecular Biology programme is both practical and research-oriented, reflecting the interests of business and industry, research institutions, and the public sector. This flexible programme accommodates the interests of each individual student because it allows you to specialise in a particular subject area, while acquiring a general mastery of molecular biology.

SPECIALISATION

Students can choose to specialise within a choice of fields, including one of the five branches of molecular biology in which Aarhus University is particularly strong: plant molecular biology, neurobiology, RNA biology and innovation, protein science and cellular health, and intervention and nutrition.

The study programme can be tailored to fit your qualifications and interests. In the first year, you will follow a course programme based on your specialisation choices. In the second year, you will write a thesis. There are excellent opportunities for collaboration with research groups in connection with your thesis project work, and this gives you the chance to participate in the research group’s projects, academic discussions, and publications.

WORLD-CLASS RESEARCH

The teaching at the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics is greatly influenced by the research conducted here, as all the lecturers are active researchers. This means our students gain insights into ongoing research projects across the entire spectrum of molecular biology – from bacteria and yeast to humans. Our understanding of biochemistry and molecular biology is based upon the entire spectrum, from atoms to organisms.

STUDENT LIFE

Students in the programme are based at the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, which is located in the University City. Here the students have their own facility, Die Rote Zone, where they can study, socialise, and hold Friday bars. A number of student organisations in the department also organise academic and social activities.

CAREERS

As a molecular biologist, you will primarily be working with finding solutions to the many health and food challenges faced by our society due to ageing populations and more stringent standards for food development and quality. These areas are growing rapidly – a trend that is expected to continue. The employment prospects for future molecular biologists therefore look very promising.

Graduates of the Molecular Biology MSc programme are very much in demand in both the Danish and international job markets. Previous graduates are working across a wide range of fields and institutions, mostly within research, production, and administration and consultancy, in both private and public sectors. Graduates who prefer to work with people and communications often go into teaching at lab-technician and teacher-training colleges or adult education, become medical writers, or communication specialists e.g. at museums. Other molecular biologists work in specialist molecular biology fields in the food industry, the health sector, or the pharmaceutical industry.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Students must have a Bachelor of Science degree with subject components in molecular biology equalling 60 ECTS credits, as well as basic subject components in mathematics, chemistry, and statistics. Other qualifications can also provide admission to the Master’s programme, provided the university assesses that their level, extent, and content correspond to the degrees mentioned above.

SELECTION CRITERIA

As the Master’s programme admits only a limited number of students each year, meeting the admission requirements does not in itself guarantee admission to the programme. Student places are allocated on the basis of an overall assessment. In evaluating qualified applicants, the admissions committee assesses applicants according to the following criteria: academic background; overall grade level of bachelor’s degree; grades achieved on relevant courses; and relevant courses (measured in credit units) included in the bachelor’s degree.

Nanoscience is an interdisciplinary field within the natural sciences. It deals with understanding and utilising materials and phenomena at the nanoscale – that is, between 0.1 and 100 nanometres. The ability to work on this scale makes it possible to develop highly improved or completely new functions and properties in a wide range of materials.

The MSc in Nanoscience programme at Aarhus University is relevant for students with a BSc degree from a Danish or international university in either nanoscience or an interdisciplinary combination of physics, chemistry, and molecular biology. The Nanoscience degree programme is both practical and research-oriented. Students can complete an MSc project in a number of areas, including nanomaterials, interfaces and catalysis, nanomedicine, synthetic biology, and nano-food.

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

The MSc programme consists of 120 ECTS credits. Students study subjects within the fields of physics, chemistry, and molecular biology, as well as specific nanoscience subjects. Based on their previous academic specialisation, students choose their courses and the subject of their MSc project so as to specialise in one of four areas: nanomaterials, biomedical nanotechnology, structural biology and biophysics, or organic nanochemistry/soft matter. Students are offered guidance in selecting their individual course programmes from a suite of master’s courses offered by iNANO and the relevant departments. The degree programme concludes with the Master’s project.

INTERDISCIPLINARY INANO

The Nanoscience degree programme at Aarhus University is based at the Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Centre, iNANO. iNANO is staffed by its own researchers as well as researchers drawn from the departments of Physics, Chemistry, Molecular Biology, and Genetics, as well as researchers from other departments and the Faculty of Health. The centre’s mission is to build on three basic pillars: top-level international research, education at all levels from BSc to PhD, and innovation and interaction with industry and society at large.

CAREERS

As a graduate in Nanoscience, you will be qualified to work in R&D in both public and private sectors in medicine, the environment, biotechnology, and the IT and communication industries. A number of R&D projects are currently under way at iNANO, in collaboration with approximately a hundred Danish and international companies, including Novo Nordisk, Aalborg Portland, Arla Foods, Danfoss, Grundfos, Haldor Topsøe, Lundbeck, Unisense, Carlsberg, Dupont and Novozymes.

Soils and Global Change

Master (2 years) of Science in Soils and Global Change, 120 ECTS

Agriculture and environment

Institution	Aarhus University (AU)
Campus	Aarhus
Duration	2 years
Tuition per term (Non-EU/EAA/CH)	4500 EUR
Tuition per term (EU/EAA/CH)	2250 EUR
Erasmus	Yes
Website	https://masters.au.dk/soilsandglobalchange

The Erasmus Mundus International Master’s in Soils and Global Change (IMSOGLO) offers you a unique international educational experience with a focused curriculum on soils and global change by bringing together the expertise of research groups at four renowned EU universities.

The programme has been granted the EU’s prestigious Erasmus Mundus label. It is offered jointly by Ghent University (Belgium), University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (Austria), University of Göttingen (Germany), and Aarhus University (Denmark).

GLOBAL CHANGE AFFECTS THE FUTURE CAPACITY OF SOIL

Increasing population pressure, industrialisation, and intensive land use are causing depletion of natural resources and are limiting the performance of land with respect to functions such as biomass production, carbon sequestration, and water purification. The cumulative effects of climate change and the aforementioned aspects of global change influence the capacity of soils to regenerate, and may even cause soil degradation.  The future capacity of soils to support (human) life is at stake, as recognised by national and international organisations and governmental bodies, such as the EU. Programmes have been developed to protect the environment and to increase ecosystem resilience. Numerous directives have been developed and implemented that build on scientific knowledge about soil response to external pressures.

This scientific knowledge is available in European universities, but is rather dispersed due to the specialisation and size of the relevant research groups. In the past this has made it difficult for students to follow a focused curriculum on soils and global change at any individual university.

The alarming effects of global change on soils observed throughout the world emphasises the need to train more personnel worldwide to understand how soils react to global change and to develop prevention and remediation strategies and increase soil resilience. The participating universities in IMSOGLO are very well equipped to give effective and targeted training on soil interactions with global change to an international audience of students.

COMBINE YOUR OWN STUDY PROGRAMME AT DIFFERENT EUROPEAN UNIVERSITIES

As a student on the IMSOGLO programme, you will attend several higher education institutes in at least two countries.

All students will study for their first semester at Ghent University. Following this, students will choose between two specialisations.

Students who choose to specialise in ‘Soil-Plant System Processes and Global Change’ will study in Vienna in their second semester and in Göttingen in their third semester. In their fourth semester, they will write their master’s thesis at one of these two universities.

Students who choose to specialise in ‘Soil Ecosystem Services and Global Change’ will study in Ghent in their second semester and in Aarhus in their third semester. In their fourth semester, they will write their master’s thesis at one of these two universities.

All students will have the opportunity to attend summer school in Vienna or to conduct fieldwork in China.

Statistics

Master (2 years) of Statistics, 120 ECTS

Mathematics, natural- and computer science

Institution	Aarhus University (AU)
Campus	Aarhus
Duration	2 years
Tuition per term (Non-EU/EAA/CH)	16300 EUR
Tuition per term (EU/EAA/CH)	0 EUR
Website	https://masters.au.dk/statistics

The MSc degree in Statistics is a flexible programme that builds general competencies in statistics while allowing students to specialise in the particular branch of statistics of their choice, such as one of the areas in which Aarhus University is particularly strong – theoretical and applied statistics, and probability theory.

Teaching on the programme is greatly influenced by research, as the lecturers are active researchers. In addition to lectures, instruction includes theoretical and practical exercises. Students on the statistics programme benefit from the down-to-earth, informal relationship between faculty and students, particularly when working on the thesis in year two of the programme.

STUDENT LIFE

The Centre for Science Studies has excellent study facilities, including the new shared library for science studies and many natural science programmes. It is notable particularly for its extensive collection of books and journals in the science studies field. The centre is small, which means that students work in close collaboration with the academic staff, and it has gained a reputation for a lively social life. Researchers and students interact on a daily basis, get together for bi-weekly colloquia, and meet up every Tuesday in an informal setting for coffee and cake.

CAREERS

Science Studies graduates will have a sound understanding of the social and philosophical implications of science, the forces that drive technological change, and contemporary developments within research and the public understanding of science. Thus equipped, graduates can seek a career communicating science and its challenges and opportunities to the general public through the media. They can also use their knowledge of the interaction between the natural sciences, technology, and society in public administration, business and industry, and in many different organisations.

Previous graduates are working as project managers and communication officers in private companies and public organisations, civil servants in public administration, teachers in the Danish high schools, and science writers and editors.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

A bachelor of science degree from a Danish university or international equivalent, or a bachelor’s degree including at least 60 ECTS credits in science studies, can qualify students for admission. Other qualifications can also provide admission to the Master’s programme, provided the university assesses that their level, extent, and content correspond to the degrees mentioned above.

SELECTION CRITERIA

As the Master’s programme admits only a limited number of students each year, meeting the admission requirements does not in itself guarantee admission to the programme. Student places are allocated on the basis of an overall assessment. In evaluating qualified applicants, the admissions committee assesses applicants according to the following criteria: academic background; overall grade level of bachelor’s degree; grades achieved on relevant courses; and relevant courses (measured in credit units) included in the bachelor’s degree.

Relevant courses include core courses within the history and philosophy of science and technology, science communication, and related areas.

Sustainable Heritage Management

Master (2 years) of Sustainable Heritage Management, 120 ECTS

Architecture, design and visual arts Humanities, social sciences, communication and arts

Institution	Aarhus University (AU)
Campus	Aarhus
Duration	2 years
Tuition per term (Non-EU/EAA/CH)	4000 EUR
Tuition per term (EU/EAA/CH)	0 EUR
Website	https://masters.au.dk/sustainableheritagemanagement

COMBINING THEORY WITH PRACTICE

The MA programme in Sustainable Heritage Management at Aarhus University introduces you to the knowledge and competencies you will need to meet the multiple challenges of contemporary heritage policy, management, and research. Working with cultural and natural heritage means being conscious of, and taking responsibility for, the links between humans, the environment, and what remains from the past. We acknowledge that heritage is also an integral part of the present, and a powerful resource for future-making. The Sustainable Heritage Management programme equips you, through engaging with critical theory and best practice, with the skills necessary to plot your route through the exciting, expanding, and increasingly complex field of heritage studies and practice. You will be trained in a uniquely interdisciplinary environment to understand, assess, and sustain heritage sites and resources. Furthermore, you will be immersed in a critical understanding of the human social, political, and economic relationships in which heritage processes and practices are embedded, and gain the confidence to strategize how you develop, revise, and innovate the future shape of the sector.

HERITAGE AS A RESOURCE

The Sustainable Heritage Management programme qualifies you to analyse and respond ethically to the demands of heritage work, providing not only a sophisticated intellectual framework, but also a practice-based toolbox of skills. You will learn to tackle the pressing challenges of heritage management, and heritage-focused research, on local and global scales.

A HIGHLY INTERDISCIPLINARY FIELD

Heritage is a highly interdisciplinary field, drawing on methodologies, theories, and approaches from several disciplines, including archaeology, anthropology, architecture, art history, history, geography, politics, and many others. The Sustainable Heritage Management programme at Aarhus University is anchored in an interdisciplinary research environment that includes engaging with researchers from archaeology, anthropology, geography, global studies, museology, religious studies, and postcolonial studies, as well as heritage practitioners.

This means that during your course of studies you will be equipped to work not only with material forms of cultural heritage, landscapes, and environments, but also with intangible heritage, text, images and, not least, people and their various perceptions of, and investments in, heritage. The programme intersects with the internationally renowned Moesgaard Museum and the wider Moesgaard Forest environment, which is located just outside Aarhus, affording collaborative opportunities for students and staff in this university/museum environment. Your core lecturers are active in the global heritage arena and are well placed to provide insights into heritage issues and practices elsewhere, including through their many ongoing projects, collaborations, and contacts; this also includes potential internships and fieldwork opportunities.

STUDENT LIFE

The Sustainable Heritage Management programme is based at the Department of Archaeology and Heritage Studies at Moesgaard, an eighteenth-century manor house newly equipped with state-of-the-art facilities that also houses the Department of Anthropology. Here you will have access to a library, computers, a common room, lounges, and a cafeteria, as well as the internationally renowned archaeology and anthropology museum MOMU (www.moesgaardmuseum.dk), and the surrounding hundred hectares of beautiful fields and woodlands leading down to the sea.

The Department-wide student society, Hikuin, organizes a range of events and discussions, as well as the Moesgaard Friday Bar. In addition, there are regular SHM-specific events, such as the ‘Heritage Hangout’, which combines professional scholarship and a supportive social environment to act as an exciting and simulating scholarly experience.

CAREERS

Graduates in Sustainable Heritage Management are qualified for a number of job markets and industries, depending on your chosen area of interest and specialization selected during the third and fourth semesters. While some recent graduates have embarked on PhDs at Aarhus University and overseas, others are working in the tourism, community, museum, gallery, and archival sectors, in planning and development agencies, government and civil service, and in bodies within resource management and capacity-building, as well as in the artistic and creative industries.

CAMPUS MOESGAARD

Campus Moesgaard is a unique place. It includes the university departments, Moesgaard Library, a joint library for anthropology and archaeology, as well as the Moesgaard Museum. In the library you will find study space, including space reserved for students writing their thesis. You can sign out electronic equipment such as video cameras and digital voice recorders to complete research, and then book time in the newly installed editing suite to shape your resultant films. The MoCa Canteen is run by a local Aarhus sustainable food collective and is also an important social hub, while the adjoining flexible space provides a venue for receptions as well as the regular Friday evening bar. You will also have the opportunity to see the many changing exhibits at the Moesgaard Museum during your time here. As a student at Moesgaard, you can access the museum for free by showing your valid student card.
