“The weight of Problem-Based Learning”
Justin H
Denmark, Graduate
Business Studies, 2022
Overall
Aalborg University, specifically Aalborg Business School, follows the Problem Based Learning model. PBL restructures the workload of university learning onto the shoulders of the student. In other words, after the 2 hour lecture 4-5 days a week the knowledge discussed by the professor is open to interpretation by the student. The student needs to be able to structure, organize, and understand that knowledge in a way that best suits them.
Therefore, the PBL model gives you the opportunity to better understand yourself and how you work. From my experience, besides given the articles that can assist in the problem at hand, the experience at AAU is very close to the experience at a future employer, ie. given a problem, find assisting resources, and develop solutions.
The gap between university graduate and employee of a firm is shortened by the PBL model at Aalborg University, and for that I am very grateful.

it is not a typical university, one should be prepared for group working with international students, individual work is not really common here

bicycle as a really good means of transport; if one travels within denmark a lot, a discount card for trains is a good bargain (under 26-year olds)

Denmark is great for travelling, it is centrally located. Just remember to go before it gets cold (Nov), and before all your work is due.

There are a lot of trips organized by the Erasmaus Student network (ESN), not only for Erasmus Students. They are very cheap and very well organized! Try as many as possible!

It was great for me because I was looking for a country very different from mine. I wanted to have a very different environment in order to do it more interesting and challenging.

I can describe it as having very good conditions for studying for those who want to study. It is much fun if you are not going to study hard also. A student can experience the new concept of cooperative learning/group learning as Aalborg university is very innovative in this area.

The travel expences are very high due to the high prices of public transport. If you comming to Denmark by for a long time you have to pay 180% taxe for the car.
