Orientation Day for new students: 29 January 2021
On Friday 29 January 2021 we will have an Orientation Day for all new international students. We strongly recommend you to participate.
We have arranged for incoming EU/EAA students to get both residence permit and CPR (Personal Identification Number) as part of the Orientation Days at Business Academy Aarhus.
What social events can we offer for study start?
Usually, the first weeks of the semester are filled with social events where you can get to know your fellow students - and all the other students at the Academy - better.
But, the study start in February 2021 will have to be without any social events. Unfortunately. You know the reason.
But each programme will offer different intro courses, so at least you’ll get to know your fellow classmates well.

Material fees and other costs
As a student at Business Academy Aarhus, you have to pay a materials’ fee. The fee covers licenses for academic literature databases, subscriptions, copies, student ID card, etc.
Besides the materials’ fee, (and depending on which programme you are taking), you may have to make an additional payment for books or a study trip. This must be paid with the materials’ fee.
The materials’ fee must be paid no later than 5 February 2021.
In the letter with important information, you will find the link for paying. Students who have already paid the materials fee must not pay again.
You must bring the receipt for payment with you when you pick up your student ID card. You can print the receipt or have it available on your phone, tablet or computer.
Once you have started on your programme – in addition to the costs of materials and books – there will also be expenses related to among other things, study trips and company visits.
Student identity and access card
To get your student card you must have paid the materials fee.
All of the Academy’s full-time students receive a student card which gives you access to the Academy. You must use the student card every time you print or copy. Your student card is also used for identification at exams.
The student card also gives you discounts and other benefits for transportaton, shopping etc., so you will benefit from always carrying it with you.
