Cooperate with students at AAU

Each semester, several thousand AAU students collaborate with companies on projects. Students are given your case, and, as the project partner, you are given a potential solution to a given problem in your company.

Project collaboration with AAU students will give you:

• the opportunity to give your company extra resources to solve tasks
• fresh input regarding current challenges or future projects with potential
• access to the latest specialised knowledge in a wide range of areas

The cost of project collaboration

Businesses which cooperate with AAU students on projects usually cover the students' costs, including, for instance, expenses for transportation, telephone, copying and postage. Beyond that, however, it costs you nothing except the time spent in cooperating, for instance in briefing the students on the task.

How to do it...

If your company is facing a specific issue that you want AAU students to examine, you can place a free entry in the AAU Job-bank, where it can be seen by all AAU students. You fill out the entry in five steps.

If your company is located in Denmark, you can hire a student from AAU as a student worker. This will allow you to deal with tasks which have been set aside due to lack of time or financial resources.

You can also employ a graduate student from the AAU and benefit from the skills and experience that he or she has acquired through activities such as problem based project work (PBL) and collaboration with the business community.
 

Find your new employee

If your company is located in Denmark, you can receive a visit from AAU students. This is a unique opportunity if you are interested in cooperating with students doing internships, projects or thesis work or if you are looking for potential future employees or a student assistant. Try them.

The visit can last from a half to a full day and will provide you with a number of opportunities, for instance

• to quickly make a good impression either on a broad cross-section of AAU students or on students from a specific study programme in which you are interested
• to talk with the students in greater depth
• to increase the student's knowledge of your business and its development areas
