Congratulations on your acceptance to our MSc in Computer Science programme! We are delighted that you applied to Aarhus University, and we hope to see you here this autumn.
We encourage you to take the time to learn more about the university and the Department of Computer Science by participating in the Aarhus University CS visit 2019.
The Aarhus University CS visit includes a three-day visit in Aarhus from May 22-24 to give you an opportunity to get to know the city and the Dept. of Computer Science a little bit better, and to show you that Aarhus University is the right option for you.
During your visit, you - and the other international students - will meet our staff and current students, and you will visit selected partner companies, which will present some of the amazing job opportunities they offer both graduates and students from our department.
We hope you will take advantage of this unique opportunity to learn more about our Department, University, the thriving local IT business industry, and the wonderful City of Aarhus.
