After party

In the courtyard, new students can enjoy beers and hotdogs, before heading over to a matriculation party at Studenterhuset, with music, beer and, as something new, chill-out areas.

In 2013, university management decided to merge the matriculation ceremonies that had previously been separate for Danish and international students.
