Info for new PhD students

New PhD students at Department of Computer Science will get a support group with two faculty members from other research groups - read more about the support group system. Also, all research groups have a research group coordinator, who you always can turn to for help - both practical and personal.

Housing

It can be hard to find both nice, conveniently located, AND cheap accommodation in Aarhus, since it is a very busy student city.

For this reason the International Centre at Aarhus University can assist you in getting temporary or permanent housing. Read more about getting accommodation.

Coming from abroad?

Please visit the website of International Academic Staff, where you will find a lot of helpful information, guidance, and support.

Below on this page you can also find links to international associations in Aarhus.

The Getting started meetings take place on first and third Friday of the month from 9 am to 12 pm. Read more and sign up.

University International Club

Aarhus University has an International Club (UIC) that provides a social and cultural meeting place for international and Danish staff members alike, as well as their families.

At International Club you can participate in various activities, all free of charge, and meet other internationals from the university in an informal, social setting.

Everyone is most welcome!
