Housing for full degree students
You can apply for housing as soon as you have decided to study in Aarhus!
Unfortunately, Business Academy Aarhus cannot offer housing as we do not have any dormitories.
However, you can apply for housing via Student Housing Aarhus or Basecamp Aarhus which administers residences for students across Aarhus. Student Housing Aarhus is cheaper and offers typical dormitory rooms. Basecamp is more expensive and further away from the Academy but is brand new and has a gym and cinema on the premises.
How to apply for housing
At Student Housing Aarhus/Basecamp you will find instructions in English on how to apply for a room.
You will also find a list of dormitories managed by Student Housing Aarhus. These are listed according to town areas and room types (single, couple, couple with children).
You can apply for housing before you are accepted into your studies in Aarhus, but you cannot sign a contract until six months before the start of your studies.
Please note you need to be at least 18 years old when the accommodation contract is signed.
Student Housing Aarhus has more information available on their website.

The dormitories have various standards as Student Housing Aarhus uses different buildings for student housing. The biggest student dormitories (where you have the best chance of actually getting a room) are Skjoldhøjkollegiet and Ravnsbjergkollegiet, which also offer furnished rooms.
Other long-term housing
There is also the possibility of renting a room or a flat on your own.
One option that we can recommend is Basecamp in the north of Aarhus. You can read all about Basecamp below:
Otherwise, you can see additional options below:

However, beware of swindlers and never make any payment before physically viewing the accommodation and signing a legal contract. Make sure that you carefully read the contract’s terms.
Most landlords will require a deposit. Normally, you must pay a 1-month deposit for a room and a 3-month deposit for a flat. Ask for a separate receipt and do not pay cash. A bank transfer can be traced in the case of fraud.
And remember: If the offer sounds too good to be true – it probably is!
Short-term housing
If your long-term housing is not available when you arrive in Aarhus, there are several options for short-term stays. Please note, however, that these are rather expensive compared to the monthly rent of a student dormitory room.
You can check for youth hostels in Aarhus or couchsurfing/Airbnb.
Do you need any help?
The best advice you can probably get is from our current students, so we would advise joining the international Facebook group and ask any questions there.
