gether as a team. This will among other things happen when you solve problems in
collaboration with companies or organizations outside the university.
It is our experience that by solving problems that are daily tackled by ‘real’ companies and organization, students will be more motivated and committed.
For many students the time at their university is an adventurous and epoch-making
time of their life. It is here you create your future. This is how I experienced my time
at university and I hope that you, in the future, can look back at your time at Aalborg
University and think that those were the best years of your life.
It is a great pleasure to welcome you as a student at Aalborg University. I hope that
this student handbook can help you feel at home at the university and get the most
out of your new life as a student.
It can be quite overwhelming to start a new education, however you should remember that Aalborg University has about 20.000 students divided between campuses
in Aalborg, Esbjerg and Copenhagen, so there is always someone you can ask for
advice or share your experiences with.
From the university we hope that you will feel welcome as a student at Aalborg University. You will become part of a project group based on problem based learning,
as is ordinary at Aalborg University. Through your project group you will soon get
in contact with your fellow students so that you can help each other to make your
everyday work a bit more clear and structured. Your project group cannot alone help
you with your studies, but also with help you feel at home at the university and in
your new home city.
With the student handbook you can take a shortcut to starting an active and fruitful
life as a student at Aalborg University. The student handbook is written by students,
who themselves have recently begun their studies at Aalborg University, they will
share their experiences with you so that you can relate to how the university is organized both academic and socially. I therefore highly recommend that you use this
book to get a head start on your university life.
The everyday work in the project groups will function in cooperation with a supervisor, whom on the one hand will provide you with academic guidance and on the
other will help you with the project process and group dynamics. The aim of Aalborg
University is to offer you, and your fellow students, the tools you need to work to6
Once again – welcome to Aalborg University.

DEAR NEW
FELLOW STUDENTS
On behalf of Studentersamfundet, I would like to congratulate you on
your admission to a higher education as well as welcoming you to Aalborg University.
ne of the first things you will notice when you start here at Aalborg University, will be a lot of
hard-working volunteers from Studentersamfundet, who have used their summer
to arrange yet another fantastic study
start with everything from breakfast at
Gammeltorv to the big Study Start Party
in Gigantium. I would therefore like to use
this opportunity to tell who we are as an
organization, what we stand for, and what
we can do for you as a student here at

THE SITUATION OF
EDUCATION POLICY
First of all, welcome to Aalborg University, which probably
also means welcome to Aalborg.
Study start means a lot of exciting and
uplifting things, new studymates, new surroundings and new experiences.
However, not everything is great. Although
Aalborg is the best University City to live
in, in relation to price and supply, we still
don’t have enough housing. This means,
that in the first months of the fall semester,
hundreds of students have to live in hostels instead of having their own homes. In
2015, it was so bad that 470 students had
to live in containers because there wasn’t
even room at hostels despite the city’s accommodation guarantee.
In many ways it’s an exciting time when
you begin here at Aalborg University. In
2015, the government decided to cut down
on the university budgets with 2% every
year up until 2019, which means that here
in Aalborg we lose more than 100 million
danish kroner next year.
At Aalborg University we have already
started to use our resources better, however it also means fewer opportunities at
some areas. Earlier many students had
their own group room for their particular
group where they could work in private
and have black boards etc. for themselves. Unfortunately, it’s rare today and
personally I always had to share my group
room with other groups. In some buildings
you don’t even have the option to book a
group room. Here you often have big open
areas instead, where you can put up bulletin boards and in that way “build” your own
group rooms.
In Studentersamfundet, we often work
with student organizations from others
universities, we work with scientists from
these universities and we also work with
the rectors to get the cut downs withdrawn,
because in our opinion, the quality of our
education will only decrease further, if you
take away the resources from an already
under financed sector.
Finally, there’s a debate which regularly
comes to the surface - the debate about
the economic support from the government, also known as the SU. There’s differCONTINUE

banking isn’t one of them. That’s why we offer
you many special benefits at no charge. Call

ent variations of this debate; there should
be given fewer monthly SU payments in
general, you should only be able to get the
SU for your undergraduate or you should
take away the SU completely. In addition
to this debate, it has also been considered to remove the SU completely from
the master program and instead spending
the money on counteracting the possible
lack of quality we will experience in our
educations. The problem with the proposal is that we as students already have an
economy under pressure. In 2010, Nordea estimated that in average we are in
need of additional 970 kroners per month
and since then the actual value of the SU
has only decreased, due to the socioeconomic development. That’s a problem because the statistics clearly show, that if we
are forced to have a job beside our studies, the completion time rises, our grades
drops, fewer students complete their education. It is in many ways just a very bad
business to pay for 2 years education only
for having the students drop out because
they are forced to work instead of using
their time to study.
Is it so bad?
Even though there’s a lot of things which
are less good, or are on their way to be it,
there are also a few areas where things
are going well here at Aalborg University.
As a student at Aalborg University, it is
likely that you in about 5 years have completed your Master’s Degree, on the contrary to the other universities, where the
students on average can end up spending
additionally 2 more years.
To sum up, we are facing some challenging years on the educational area. So if
you want to make a difference within student politics, then read more on page 19

Being a volunteer
I started as volunteer at AAU when my neighbours and their friends (wearing tiger and bear costume) recruited me to be in a bar. After doing this a couple of times I was recruited to the Study
Start Party Committee (SSFU). At the following christmas party by Studentersamfundet I was
recruited to the UniRun Committee. I later ran for the Study Board and created Electronic Systems Students (ESS), which is a decentralized council under Studentersamfundet. I also became
active in AAU Student Space on my 3rd year.

TEXT MIKAEL JUHL KRISTENSEN
SSFU
Every year there’s a big party for all the new
students at AAU. As early as February the
Study Start Party Committee begins planning
the party, and they meet twice a month in the
beginning. The committee consists of a lovely
group of people. Since it’s a special event with
a lot of money involved, all the people in charge
are known people from Studentersamfundet.
In 2013 a wise man called Hasse taught me
how to be a volunteer and responsible for the
security at a party with 4.000 guests. In 2014
I was to handle it on my own, and in 2015 I
shared it with a nice guy called Thomas.
It’s a joy to do the planning, but in the days
before the party there’s always some nervousness involved. In 2015 there was more than
4.500 guests, all new and a bit confused. They
have to be guided from from the mid city to Gigantium, where they show their tickets and go
inside. And when they’re inside, they have to
be kept in certain areas and you have to make

UniRun
Study Board
I was recruited to arrange the UniRun 2014.
The committee begins its work in March, and
a lot of the time is spent on finding sponsors
but also deciding the shirts, routes and prizes.
It’s very cozy. The run is normally happening
in the end of September and the last 3 years
it has grown to be with 600 participants. Arranging UniRun is different from arranging the
parties. The participants aren’t drunk students,
but sober people (both students and staff) and
there’s a totally different energy, when the run
begins. It’s always fun to see if you can get the
board of Studentersamfundet to run.
I can’t quite remember how I ended up being
signed for election but in the spring 2015 I became a part of the Study Board. It’s a really
good place to learn about the internal processes of the University. In the spring we went to
AAU Esbjerg, a department we normally don’t
hear much about in Aalborg. They had some
quite nice facilities. Also, Studentersamfundet
have a department in Esbjerg and they had
posters hanging. Generally we spend our time
in the Study Board maintaining the quality of
our educations, eating cake, talking about the
future teaching and eat a bit more cake.
sure they don’t destroy too much. It’s a big responsibility, but each year I have taken a couple of minutes to be in the crowd of people,
and enjoy the party and having fun. Hearing
them shout out “Cheers” or “Skål” in danish is
something that warms an old man’s heart – it’s
all worth it. As a chief of the volunteers I also
have a lot of contact with all our lovely volunteers. During the party many of them have a
good time in our VIP-area, having their own little party. But the real party for the volunteers is
a few weeks later. Free booze, beer and food!
Let’s just say, those volunteer parties have a
tendency to be a bit silly and wild when the
clock says midnight.
If you would like to be a volunteer just keep
an eye on “Studentersamfundets frivillige” on
Facebook, and if you want to help arrange The
Study Start Party, it’s recommended that you
first get some experience in one of Studentersamfundet’s groups, for example in a Friday
bar or in UniRun.

ESS
AAU Student Space
In the spring 2015 I created ”Electronic Systems Students” ESS. The purpose was to
make relevant events for students who’s studying Electronic Systems and spread information
about the activities of the Study Board. In november we had the a rocket enthusiast Peter
Madsen coming to AAU to speak about his innovative projects.
AAU Student Space is a student based group
at the University which works with cubesats. In
the beginning of 2014 we were asked to make
a cubesat, with the purpose of being sent into
space with Andreas Mogensen. The production
began immediately. We finished the cubesat
and turned it in. Then me and my studymate
Brian was elected to go to Houston with the
satellite. After spending some days with professional space scientist and using some time
on sightseeing, we said goodbye to the satellite. On the 5th of october the satellite was sent
into space from ISS, while we held an event at
AAU. Here my experience from planning Studentersamfundet’s events helped me a lot.

Why student
politics?
Have you ever been at a lecture and
thought: “Why am I learning this?”,
“There’s always too little room in these
lecture halls?” or “should Lene Esper­
sen be in the board of Aalborg University’s direction?”.
Okay - maybe you didn’t think this last
one. But it’s all something we should
have influence upon as students. This
University is made in a way in which
students are secured influence on different levels.
Who decides which courses you’re
having? A group of 50% students and
50% teachers. Who decides how much
preparation time the teachers should
have? A group of students and staff.
Who hires Rector and decides the university’s general strategy? A group of
students and staff.
24
As you can see there is a pattern: students are present when the decisions
are made because we know how to improve our own everyday life.
decide Studentersamfundet’s politics.
That could be anything between opi­
nions on internal censorship at exams
to bus transportation in Aalborg.
In the fall there’s an election for all of
these governing bodies where you have
the opportunity to join and directly influence your education.
There’s plenty of options to be active
and have influence on your study life
as a student. If you would like to hear
more about theese, you’re more than
welcome to contact us at [email protected] or show up
monday 5th of September 17:00 o’clock
in the Student House at Gammeltorv

But of course it’s not necessary to be
in one of these positions to get influence. In many different studies they
have established unions that work with
improving exactly your study, both aca­
demically, politically and socially, and
you can always contact them if you’re
interested.
If you want influence from day one
there’s a meeting in the Studenterforum
every first monday in the month, where

PBL – what is it?
Text Christina Nielsen
At Aalborg University we use the PBL-model, also known internationally as the Aalborg-mo­
del. A model that Aalborg University gets great recognition for because it’s a special way
to work problem-based, which has proven to be something unique and an inspiring way to
work. But what is it exactly and how does it work? This is a guided tour through PBL and
group work at Aalborg University - what can you use it for, and what happens in practice,
when you get in a group?
PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING
GROUP WORK – HOW DOES IT WORK?
PBL stands for Problem-Based Learning. On
nearly every semester you write a project
which takes its starting point in a real life issue. This is the way we learn about working
with real issues that can be observed in the
real world. It’s a very good method for learning if you are dedicated. It takes a lot of effort to write a project but on the same time
you learn so much! You learn theories you
wouldn’t otherwise learn about at lectures,
you learn a lot about a field from the real
world and get wiser about what’s happening and why. You learn to be critical and reflective in your way of thinking and to work
analytically. It’s valuable knowledge when
you later are going to write a bachelor project, because you’ve done it before and know
very well what it’s about. When you are done
with your education and a looking for a job, it
can also be a significant advantage because
you know a lot more than just what is in the
books. You also know more about subjects
from reality.
The projects are written in groups which can
vary in size. During the creating of groups at
my semester I got some good advices about
group work by Johannes Andersen, Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science, who held a presentation about
group work. These advices are the key to a
successful group work:
34
THE OTHERS GET PROBLEMS AS WELL
No matter where you stand socially or academically, you will run into problems. Whether
you start out as friends and afterwards find a common academically interest or you start
out with an interest and then get in a group, there will be problems. Everybody has to go
through the “storm” - the phase where you get mad at each other, because you disagree
and get frustrated about the others, consciously or unconsciously. When you’re through this
phase, you can laugh at it and then the work is painless because the rules has become the
norm, and you no longer think about it. You have to get through the stormy weather before
it’s going to get better.
CRITIQUE IS THE KEY
If you want to make a great project, then critique is the key. It’s important that everybody
takes responsibility and gives critique. When you get critique or feedback for your work,
don’t see it as critique of your as a person. It’s important to understand that the critique isn’t
pointed at you as a person but at the academic work. The critique should rather be seen as a
compliment. The others give critique because they have an interest in the project becoming
as good as possible. Through the critique the academic material will be better and better,
and at the same time more eyes on the project never hurts. Discussion and critique is what
it takes to create a good project, because the material is processed and all your decisions
are well considered.
HOW DOES IT WORK IN PRACTICE?
Now the ground rules are set, but what do you actually do, when you are in a group working
with your project? There’s many ways to use your group. Some see the group as extra work
force, while others use the group for more discussion-based reflections. Some hand out sections of the project, and then put it all together in the end, while others write it all together.
Some rarely meet, others meet every day. It’s about making your expectations clear for each
other at the beginning, and making clear rules for how the group work is going to be. It will
prevent a lot of conflicts.
It can be a good idea to make a time schedule with very clear structure for what you are going to do when and deadlines. It can be done very simply with a totally normal calendar printed from the internet. If you have deadlines, it gives some peace to the mind and the project

Now you might wonder, how to attend exams and how the examiner (which is the
same person as the supervisor) know which
amazing sections came from your hand. The
person doesn’t know. The group has a collective responsibility for the project, so excuses
like, it wasn’t my section and I didn’t write
that, is not legitimate. You have to know it

group. You don’t have to discuss what to do
every morning and the deadline won’t surprise you as a thief in the night. It will make
your work more structured. The more you do
it, the better a sense you will get about how
much time every part takes. Since you’re in
a group it’s about taking advantage of the
potential it is to be several people. When
you’re a group, of course there’s more inputs. There’s many people to attend the discussion. Use the group as a resource and ask
when you’re in doubt. Use each other to discuss what you wrote. Discuss the theories,
and ask yourself, did everyone understand it
the same way? By discussing the elements
you and your group make sure you have a
common understanding, and it’s always an
advantage, so your project won’t point in too
many different directions.
The discussions can also be a collection of
the different sections. With discussions you
make sure you have a common understand-

With this guide through PBL and group work
I hope you’ve gotten a better idea of what
PBL means, what group work is about and
what to remember. Use the group, discuss,
give feedback and then you’re likely to have
a great project where everybody gets wiser
and better. Have fun with the group work!

To work problem-based gives you strong
skills that can bring you first in line at the
job market. Graduates from Aalborg University know something others don’t. We can
collaborate and think analytically. Maybe
you think it sounds like a cliché and little bit
silly. It isn’t hard to collaborate, it isn’t hard
to work out an assignment. But it’s actually
harder than one should think. Through group
work, you get to know how to work with a
problem, theorize it, analyze it, and make
a conclusion. Also, you learn to collaborate
with others and be in a group and run a pro­
ject.
It’s not as easy as you might be told in the
beginning. It’s hard work but also something
you learn a great deal from in a very short
time. More than you could learn by just attending lectures. In the process of the pro­
jects you get valuable skills, learn how to
write academically and work with a problem
or issue.

My semester in Berlin 2016
Text Maria Lykke Møller Mousing
As a student at Aalborg University it’s possible to go study abroad for a semester. If you get
this opportunity, just take it, because you get 6 months filled with new international friendships and also a lot of new experiences. You will get to see how life as a student in another
country is and it’s the best way to learn a new language. Here’s a little view of my months
in Berlin.
We are only 8 students
in my class at Aalborg
University and this
semester we’re different
places in Germany. Heidi
and Christina here are
both abroad in Düsseldorf.

Why go abroad?
International Pillow Fight Day in Berlin
was awesome! In front of Brandenburger
Tor more then hundred people showed
up to have a pillow fight - even the police
joined! Afterwards I looked like a chicken
with feathers though. #Pillowfight #Berlin
#Fun #Friends
… Why not? It’s not all educations where it’s “normal” to
go study abroad. But this doesn’t mean you don’t have
the opportunity to go. If you can get merit and Aalborg
University even has collaborations with other universities around the world then just look into what your opportunities are.
The cool thing about Berlin is that
something’s always going on. If you’re bored
in Berlin, something’s wrong! #Soapbubbles
#IloveBerlin
A stay abroad makes you stronger in every way!
As a person you will become more independent, you will
learn more about the country, you will meet new people,
it’s easier for you to learn the language, and your resume
will even be more interesting to look at. The list of reasons
is long.
#Peace #Freedom #Berlin
Ready for takeoff! This is a closed
airport in Berlin where you can take
a long walk, bike or just have a good

the hidden places in Berlin that not

Ask Maria!
The truth about university
What do you do in university?
Dear Ask Maria
I have been very much in doubt when it comes to choosing university because Aalborg University isn’t
quite Aarhus or Copenhagen. What can you offer?
Regards, The lion

Info: This is a satirical feature.
Is uni difficult?
Hi,
I’m starting at uni after the holidays and I heard it’s quite overwhelming and more difficult than high
school? What can you tell about it?
Regards, The new guy
Hey rookie,
It’s with uni as it is with pancakes; the first one is always weird and you get a little sad and upset
but the rest is awesome and gone too soon. See this comparison in the light of the fact that your
first year at uni will be filled with experiences and impressions. Some you will find okay and others
will make you want to carry a carton wine under your arm permanently. You are no longer a student,
there’s not strict orders to show up and in fact this means that it’s your own responsibility to get
something out of your time and lectures. The lectors (not teachers) actually don’t care about you and
how you’re doing, in fact they could have several lectures without realizing the room was empty. But
it’s not all bad. It’s in university that you’re mature enough to get friendships with substance and
you’re in a knowledge paradise which gives you unique knowledge and spirituel nutrition.
Hi pseudo science believer,
I’m so happy to hear that you chose Aalborg despite your reservations. Because yes, Aalborg isn’t
physically neither one city or the other. But I can comfort you with the fact that here in Aalborg we
look at the city like the Paris of the North and that’s big words for people like us!
However, everything here is cheaper than in the “real” big cities and our university logic with the
problem based model is quite alright. Shortly, our PBL-model makes sure that you can collaborate
with real companies during your studies and you realize how you can solve a problem (that they
might not even know they have). The smart thing about this is that you in your 5 years of studying
won’t slowly die of just sitting and reading and write theoretical assignments but you actually do
assignments with roots in a real problem. This way you avoid that censor will be bored to death. Also,
we love other people at uni. Therefore we made it mandatory that you from day 1 and till you leave
university after 5 years know as much about pedagogy (manipulation) AND your own education. Two
educations in one!

Hey Ask Maria
I’m about to attend university after summer and therefore I will move to Aalborg from a smaller city.
I’m excited about getting to know Aalborg, do you have any advice?
Hey you and welcome!
How lovely with all your enthusiasm. I will teach you a bit about the real Aalborg which will, for you
the next 5 years, only be university. To make it easier here’s a map of our buildings because they
are quite spread around the city. Most importantly is the campus where most students are getting
locked up. Happy room hunting!

As a new student at the University you are probably full of
expectations and worries. How is it to attend university?
Can I make it? How are the exams going to be? Can I get a
good grade, and what if I fail? Don’t worry, you will make
it. Even though you don’t get straight A’s, it’s okay, don’t
worry. Other grades are fine too and you will be alright
even though your average grade result won’t be like in
high school.
I am a witness that nothing terrible will happen if you get
a D - so take a deep breath. This summer I got the grade D!
I just barely passed. Not amazing and not totally terrible.
Actually just average and a bit sad even though it’s not as
bad as it sounds. The grade D can be fine, but because of
our messed up views upon grades, everything below B has a bad reputation. Objectively D is
an okay grade given for the average performance - you did something right but something
was missing too.
The story and the grade D
The story about me getting a D actually
goes back to high school, maybe even public school because some people would probably call me straight A girl. I’m the type of
girl with the grade A in my Student Cap from
high school, and my grades nearly made me
able to study International Business at Copenhagen Business School. If there has been
a grade I thought I could improve, I always
worked to achieve it.

However, it was always easier for me than
the straight A girls you hear about in the media, whose world ends if they “only” get a B
and who cut off all their social life to study.
I have never done that. I worked hard without it being too much, and mostly because
I knew I could, so why not make the effort?
When high school was done and the grade
A was in my Student Cap, the race of grades
actually ended for me. After high school I
turned to AAU. The university of possibilities
where everybody who wants attend, can.

STUDY LIFE
Even though I wasn’t so focused on grades
anymore, I (surprisingly) was able to maintain my good grades, even though I had the
expectations that I probably couldn’t achieve
as good grades as in high school. I probably
expected I had to work my way up and that I
would experience to get all the grades on the
scale. Even the ones who aren’t that fun. It
had to happen.
My first grade ever at the University was a C
and after that it continued with a B and an
A. After that I didn’t think much about the
grades, but I just did my best and that was
good enough for the high end of the scale.
Maybe I was unconsciously getting used to
my effort being enough every time? Maybe
I just got used to getting a B or higher every time? But in the summer 2015, I got the
grade D! That average grade which isn’t impressing but okay after all, objectively. Most
surprising was the fact that I didn’t die. The
old straight-A-girl didn’t die of getting a D,
52
STUDY LIFE
nothing happened! No one was after me, no
one said I was stupid, no one said I couldn’t
continue my study. Actually no one really noticed.
The only thing that happened was that my
pride suffered a little bit. I got a wake up
call. A wake up call which changed my view
upon grades and I got rid of the unconscious
thought that it would always work out well
for me no matter what. D is alright, the arrow
didn’t hit bulls eye, but you still hit the dartboard. You still got points. Sometimes you
just miss a little bit.
Because my pride suffered that summer I
didn’t write the mandatory status on social
media “Look at me, I’m done with exams and
got an A”. It just doesn’t sound that nice to
say you got a D. And what a shame. Why not
tell when it’s going less well? Why not tell
that we sometimes fail a bit, and why not
admit we’re not geniuses at everything?
I always said, I’m going to make my way
through the whole scale during my study
time. It just hits a bit harder when you start
at the top instead of the bottom, because you
unconsciously got used to the high grades. It
wasn’t unfair at all. I’m not proud of getting
that grade and if you get the same, you don’t
have to be. It’s okay to feel sad, but focus
your energy on the critique and feedback,
and most importantly, learn from it.
To be honest, it happened again six months
later. Another D. This time I got a bit sad
but when I thought about it after, I quickly
realized why I got a D for that assignment.
I aimed and missed, and then it was fair
enough that I got that grade. So I quickly accepted it and made peace with the fact that
this course wasn’t my thing.

STUDY LIFE
LIVE EXPERIENCES
You don’t always hit the bullseye
Getting the grade D taught me not to expect
that I’m good at everything. I can’t hit the
bullseye everytime, and it’s okay because
you learn from it. You learn what to do differently and it can be a motivation for the
next time. Everytime you miss you get better at aiming. Eventually you get wiser about
how to throw the arrow in order to hit the
bulls­eye. It takes time and experience, but
it’s also incredibly important that you don’t
sit down and cry when it’s not working out,
so try to reflect a bit instead – what did I do
wrong, and can I do it differently next time?
My message for you as a new student is:
Don’t get disappointed if you get a “bad”
grade. Nothing’s wrong with you, you just
missed a bit. No one will hit you or say you’re
not good enough to attend university. You
can learn from it. You can learn how to aim
better and one day you’ll hit the bullseye.
Not every time, but sometimes. We can’t all
be good at everything and there’s nothing
wrong with not always being able to get an
A. Other grades are fine too, even though the
discourse about them are bad.
I hope my story gave you something to consider. I hope you won’t break down if you get
a D one day. I hope you learned that you can
get an A in one course and a D in another,
without it making you a bad student. There’s
nothing wrong with you, you just don’t hit
the bullseye every time, but each time you
throw the arrow you’ll get better at aiming.

The time at university is a fantastic and wonderful
time – it is fun, challenging and magnificent at one
and the same time.
It is the period of your adult life where you will meet
the most new people, many of whom are people that
have made the same considerations in regards to
education as you, and share your interests.
I am both happy and proud to welcome you as a
student in Aalborg. I am happy because you have
chosen Aalborg as the frame of your education and
proud because Aalborg is a city that has much to
offer – particularly a university that once again has
shown itself as a very popular educational institution.
In Aalborg we appreciate all the students because
every one of you participates in making the city one
that is filled with life.
We further have a great collaboration between the
university, the private business community and the
public authorities – a collaboration that benefits the
students by creating internships.
I hope that you will have a great couple of years in
Aalborg. We have created the frame – and I hope that
you are prepared to fill it, so that your time here will
be the greatest of your life!
