Study
Form
Maybe you have already
heard of the ”Aalborg-Model”. This model has
contributed to Aalborg University's
fame and recognition. Since its foundation, Aalborg
University has adopted a problem and project-oriented approach.
From the first Semester, you will work together
in
groups to solve specific problems. This cooperation gives you the
possibility
to engage in larger and more complex problem areas than you could
tackle on
your own. Each semester time is divided approximately equally between
project-work and classes.
Each semester starts with the forming of new
groups of
about 5-7 persons. When this has happened the project group will be
assigned
its own workspace at the institute. Additionally, everybody gets their
schedules for the semester, as well as catalogues of project-proposals,
course-description, literature lists and reading guides.
Classes
& Assignments
You will experience that, generally, the
courses are
theoretical and that the tempo during lectures is high. Typically, a
class for
a day lasts 4 hours, with the lecturing part taking 2 X 45 minutes.
After this, the lecturer
and assistants will
go around to the group areas to help you with assignments for the
classes. This
means that you as a group will never be stuck during solving an
assignment, and
that the lecturer may be able to explain parts of the class in another
way, if
you have misunderstood something during the lecture.
At the end of the semester some courses are
evaluated
through the project-exam (PE-courses) and others are evaluated through
individual
exams (SE-courses).
Project
Work
To do a project takes a lot of work, and that
is why
you will not be alone at doing it. Groups choose their projects and
will have
at least one supervisor connected to them. The supervisors are
lecturers and researchers
at the university, and they will help you with the tough decisions.
They will
suggest good ideas in both technical problems and how you communicate
your
project in the final project-report.
Among other things working in groups
strengthens the
contact between the students and the supervisors at.
The supervisor is there to support your group on your journey through
complex
problems and to guide you in the right direction.
In the first semesters of Medialogy, the
projects are of
a nature that allows you to develop fundamental skills. However, on
later
semesters the problems posed in project-proposal tend to concern
contemporary
research and problems in industry.
As the last thing of each semester, the group
members
defend their project at an oral exam, where each group
member’s performance is
evaluated by the supervisor and censor.
Living
in Aalborg
With its 160,000 inhabitants (around 11,000 of these are students at
Aalborg University) Aalborg
is the forth-largest city in Denmark as well as the
regional capital of Northern Jutland. It is situated at
the narrowest part of the picturesque Limfjord in
the midst of wood-covered hills, moors and shallow
marshes. The region is blessed by nature with many
hours of sunshine and just a 30-minute drive away
from some of the most beautiful sandy beaches
Denmark has to offer.
The history of Aalborg can be traced back more than 1,000 years. The
name “Aalborg” is first
mentioned in the 11th century, and in 1342 the city received a
municipal charter.
Activity and prosperity left their marks on the city’s
architecture, and many of the old buildings still function today. Over
the years the city has developed into one the busiest trading centres
of Denmark and has proud commercial and industrial traditions. Aalborg
is known as an exciting city with a wide variety of activities. In
addition to a vast number of cultural events, recreational and sporting
facilities, Aalborg is renowned for its many restaurants,
cafés and bars - more per inhabitant than any other city in
the country.
You will find many of them in Jomfru Ane Gade, Aalborg’s
famous amusement street with Denmark’s longest continuous
stretch of restaurants, discos, pubs, clubs, cafés and bars.
Accommodation
in Aalborg
The International Accommodation Office (AO)
assists international students in finding accommodation. None of the
residences are on campus. Some are placed near the centre of Aalborg,
5.6 kilometres from the university campus. Others are placed between
the city centre and the university, while others are placed outside the
city area, about a 20-minute bus ride from the university or the centre
of Aalborg.
In general there are two types of accommodation available either in
student’s halls of residence or in private homes. Rent is
between
DKK 1,500 (app. 200 Euro) and 2,500 (335 Euro) per month. Foreign
students can apply for accommodation once they are accepted at a master
programme at Aalborg University.
