  • The unofficial “Capital of Jutland”, Denmark’s second-largest city Aarhus offers a vibrant mix of youthful energy and rich history, giving visitors the true feel of a modern Scandinavian city.

    Alongside its long and colourful history, Aarhus offers modern art museums, cafes and theatres within a city centre that is only a 15-minute bike ride away from breathtaking forests, beaches and harbours.

    The Danish capital Copenhagen is a city that continues to prosper and lure in new toursists each year with its culinary revolution, new and old architecture, friendlier than friendly locals and one of the best transport systems in the world, all within its maze of cobbled streets and canals.

  • The Danish School of Media and Journalism’s publishing house Ajour is Scandinavia's largest publisher focusing on journalism and the media.

Living

Accommodation

The Danish School of Media and Journalism is cooperating with the Aarhus Municipality office for Student Housing to provide dormitory rooms for international students.

Living with Danish students is a good way to learn something about the local culture and perhaps even a little Danish.

The monthly rent for a dormitory room is 2.000-2.200 DKK.

The Danish School of Journalism has prepaid your deposits and the first month´s rent.

Health insurance

With a Danish Personal Registration Number (CPR-number) you are eligible to receive health benefits and are covered by the Danish health insurance system.

You will need a health insurance to cover you during the first 7 weeks after your arrival, because it takes 6 weeks for you to get a card with your CPR-number.

You have to register at the National Registry Office (Folkeregistret) in Aarhus within 5 days upon your arrival. Bring your passport, your residence permit and the confirmation letter from the Danish School of Journalism stating the duration of your stay in Aarhus.

With the CPR card visits to the doctor in general practise, any Eye or Ear-specialist as well as any hospitalisation in a public hospital are free. However, other expenses such as dental costs are only partly covered by the Danish health insurance system. And you must pay for all medicine, including prescribed medicine.

Living cost

A number of external services provide comprehensive overviews of global living costs
