Introduction Week and Buddy Program
The Student Union is also in charge of running the Introduction week for Danish as well as international students. The introduction week will guide you through the practical details concerning settling in Aarhus and introduce you to study methods and social life at BSS. Recently the Student Union introduced a so-called Buddy
Program where new international students come together with students already studying at BSS, long before they arrive in Aarhus.
InterRessource
This is a project specifically aimed at benefiting international students. It is an EU- and mid-Jutland funded project with the goal of increasing the awareness to Danish companies that international students can be a value-added resource to a company’s dynamics.
The goal is to help create a professional network in Denmark for international students, and to guide them in finding study-relevant positions during their education, and after in the form of a full-time job, especially focusing on the mid-Jutland region.
There are four partner schools involved: Aarhus University, Business and Social Sciences, the Aarhus School of Architecture, and the Institute of Business and Technology, Herning; Studenterhus Aarhus is also involved in this project.
