Group work

Read about the benefits of AAU's group based study approach (PBL), and get advice on how to get the most out of working in groups.

The study form at AAU is project-organised and problem-based and on a daily basis, we refer to this study form as PBL. PBL gives you the opportunity to work with relevant, realistic and interdisciplinary problems with a group of fellow students.

Why study this way?

One of the main benefits of this study form is the fact that it improves your qualifications significantly - you learn to formulate, analyse and solve various authentic problems. You learn to work in a result oriented manner, with an analytical view on problems and in teams. In the meantime, you learn to present your project work, to form collaborations with companies and to be a central player in the evolution of your own learning.

You must not fear saying or doing the wrong thing, because then, you will never do the right thing

Johannes Møllehave, Danish priest and author

Group sessions for project groups on campus Copenhagen

The healthy group work is educational and developing. However, at times group work can also be challenging and demanding. Thus, the general Student Guidance on campus Copenhagen is offering groups to participate in 2-3 group sessions where a conversation about expectations, group dynamics, boundaries and communication is facilitated. Your group can either seek to improve your collaboration skills or resolve ongoing conflicts.

You can book your first session by writing to:

Are you and your group looking for test subjects?

If you and your group need test subjects for your project, but you do not know where to find them, then check out the Facebook group AAU: Søg, find og bliv testperson, which translates to AAU: Search, find and become test subject.
