VISION Vision: • In 2013 Aarhus University has built up a successful International Summer University based on a mix of AU core research competences and specializations delivered by invited international guest lecturers. All Faculties at Aarhus University should be visible at AU Summer University in 2013. The intention is to: • attract international students • attract international lecturers and researchers • provide AU fulltime students with flexible study programmes and terms • enhance our international network and cooperation on several levels

  7. VENUE AU Summer University takes place at AU Campus, University Park, Aarhus • Central food and lunch area • Teaching rooms closer together • Meeting point and help desk for international guest lecturers • Use of the park • Social programme for all international students

  8. STRUCTURE The programme is divided into two terms in July and August 2011. All courses are 5 and 10 ECTS courses (5 ECTS courses have a minimum of 2 weeks teaching followed by 1 flexible week) (10 ECTS courses have a minimum of 3 weeks teaching followed by 1 flexible week). Students can only take one course in each term and a total amount of credits of 5,10,15 or 20 ECTS. In 2011 the weeks are: • 5 ECTS course term 1: week 27,28,29 • 5 ECTS course term 2: week 31,32,33 • 10 ECTS course term 1: week 27,28,29,30 • 10 ECTS course term 2: week 31,32,33,34

  9. COURSES • Courses can either be interdisciplinary courses or specialized courses • All courses will be taught in English • Most courses are at the Master or PhD Level.  Bachelor Level courses can also be part of the programme if the Faculty/Institute thinks that the topic will attract enough students • Courses can require prerequisite academic background decided by the Faculty/Institute • We advise you have courses approved by the respective Study board before marketing the course • We recommend that the exam is finished before the course ends

  10. STUDENTS • The target group of students is AU full-time students, international exchange students, international full-degree students and free movers. Moreover students from other Danish universities can take courses at AU Summer University. • There will be a centrally organized application platform and application deadline for students: The deadline is March 15th 2011. After the deadline AU fulltime students can still sign up for the courses.

  11.

After the deadline applications will be distributed to the respective Faculty/Institutes. • We suggest that AU covers one economy return trip and pays a salary equivalent to teaching an 5/10 ECTS course on a regular basis (6000 EUR for 5 ECTS/8000 EUR for 10 ECTS including preparation, teaching, evaluating a retaking).
