The mechanical engineering program is top-notch, with knowledgeable professors who bring real-world experience into the classroom.

Recommandation personnelle

This is a very good university, with a great atmosphere and very friendly teachers and people. Everything is new and there is a lot of light (just like in all houses) due to the big windows on the walls. People gather in the canteen every time and use it as a study and chat place. It is quite nice to be there at all times, since you are often with the other ERASMUS and Danish students in a relaxing environment (there is a piano and table soccer everyone can play). Class rooms, computer rooms, toilets and canteen are quite good.

ERASMUS was an incredible experience for me and for my friends at all levels. You make a lot of new friends from all over the world, you have contacts all over Europe for the future, you get extremely independent, you learn a lot about life and you grow as a person, you experience many new things you would never experience in a normal environment, you face the unknown, you loose your fears, you improve your English, you get ready to work in an international environment, you fall in love, you party like never before and you carry memories you will never forget. In Horsens or everywhere else, everyone should definitely experience ERASMUS.

Logement

Type de logement: Sur le campus

Organisé par: Université d'accueil

Si j'y retournais je choisirais: Sur le campus

Pourquoi?

In a student hall you live with dozens of students from other countries and you can spend your days with them, eating together, chatting or making parties whenever you want. The atmosphere is really great and it is something you will definitely miss when you come back to your home country.

Commentaire personnel

The place where I lived in - Kamtjatka - is a brand new student house (we were the first students living there) constituted by 3 aggregated buildings. It is located just next to the city center and 10 minutes from the university by bus/bike. The facilities are very good since everything is new and you can have both privacy or fun/bonding with your flat and corridor mates. Boys and girls live together in the same corridor. The flats have a common kitchen and WC, and are shared with one or two persons (the latter is the most common). In the beginning some things were not ready yet, e.g., common rooms, and there was some dust on the corridors, but with time everything got ready and now it is not a problem anymore. The 3 buildings have wireless internet access; it is enough for browsing sites or chatting, but not good if you want to download big files - you should try the university network for that. At some spots the signal is not so good. The alternative to Kamtjatka is the K Block or private flats. K block has a great atmosphere, with lots of students, but the facilities are not as good. You have to share a kitchen and shower with 11 people, although you have a toilet per 2 persons. Private flats have the disadvantage of being a bit isolated from all the other students. Overall, Kamtjatka is probably the best places to stay if you will be studying in Horsens.

“practical studying”

Gestion d'entreprise, 2022

Évaluation globale

All lecturers tend to present a subject with real life examples, lessons are usually presenting real cases and real problems, rather than just theoretical problems.

Every semester there is a mandatory "semester project" involving a Danish company, where students go for company visits, disscuss issues with company's manager and are then presented with a case about the company. Solution for a problem presented in the case has to be made in groups of 3-5 people.

Points forts

no studying by heart, but by understanding

Inconvénients

low pressure from teachers

Dépenses habituelles

Food and housing is generally much more expensive in Denmark than in Poland. The telephone costs, on the other hand, are lower and allowed me to save some money. As for the nightlife- I used to party most often in the campus area, with other Erasmus students. And in this case, it was possible to lower the spendings. Travel costs were generally low, but I used to travel a lot (even 2-3 abroad trips a month) and that s why I spent more money on travels, than usually

Commentaire personnel

The host university used to give out additional grants (about 250 euros) to the students of eastern europe, but they have stopped to do that from September 2010. There are a lot of different shops in the city, and it's good to go shopping to all of them one by one, to buy the cheapest products
