AU campus
The campus of AU is located in Arhus. This is a fairly large city that opens up many opportunities for students: from cafes, restaurants and other entertainment to internships at large companies. But an urban campus can also be a disadvantage, because big city life distracts some students from their studies. The university has a library where students can do their homework, write scientific papers or just read interesting books. AU accepts students for international exchange programs. This is a great opportunity to gain experience in intercultural communication for both international and local students.
