Daily life as a student
As an information studies student, your day varies between lectures, exercises, reading group meetings and individual preparation in your own room. Most students come to the Institute of Information and Media Studies every day, and there is an active student environment – both academically and socially.
Teaching
Teaching the Bachelor’s degree programme in Information Studies consists of traditional university lectures for all the students in your year, and classroom lessons for groups of students in the same year, as well as practical exercises, where you either do case-based or practical exercises in small groups. Every Friday, there is a joint lecture for all students of information studies.
Preparation individually or in groups
The number of scheduled hours is matched by a certain amount of preparation time. You soon find how important it is to plan your time in order to get through everything. Attending Information Studies is a full-time job – if not more. A large part of your preparation consists of reading texts, and you need to spend the same amount of time in discussions and practical exercises, which take place in your reading group. The reading group provides not only your academic base, but also your social one.
The information society
Facilities
As an information studies student, you have plenty of opportunity to add a social element to your academic work. Part of your life as a student is spent in the computer room. Other facilities include a common room, radio and video editing facilities, and a TV studio, not to mention the many comfortable sofas. Information Studies is located in the IT City Katrinebjerg – see a map of Katrinebjerg and the calendar.
Academic and social initiatives
As an information studies student, you become part of a creative and committed group. Information Studies is characterised by many student initiatives.
- In the Student Committee, you can exchange information, discuss problems related to the degree programme and keep up with study-related developments. All students are welcome to join this committee. There is also an Information and Media Studies (IMV) Council that discusses practical matters at the Institute of Information and Media Studies.
- SAIS is a student association at Information Studies. SAIS organises lectures in relevant topics, company visits and study tours.
- The Friday Bar organises bar evenings and parties for Media Studies and Information Studies.
- The Social Committee is responsible for many great ideas and interesting events. This committee organises two or three parties a year, held in combination with Media Studies.
