A unique study and work method

A trademark of Aalborg University is its unique pedagogic model of teaching:Problem-Based Project Work at AAU CPH
the problem-based, project-organized model. With this method a great part of the semester teaching and student work revolves around complex real-life problems that the students wonder about and try to find answers to in scientific manners while working together in groups. The more traditional forms of teaching are of course also used, e.g. lectures, courses, seminars, classroom training, laboratory work and workshops.

Research based educations

At AAU CPH the study programs are research based. Teaching materials at AAU CPH come not only from books but also from, for example, articles in current journals.
