The Danish Course is free. Classes will be approx. twice every week (depending on other courses) and runs from September 1 (see Webuntus for the schedule). Workshops and larger tasks (such as throwing a Christmas party, in Danish) will be arranged at the latter stages. The course takes place at Skolevangen (UCN Hjørring) and contains students from UCN (NAKU) only. The course focuses on Danish pronunciation, rhythm, language structure and vocabulary, and is initially concentrated on language instruction, in terms of: Imitation, learning-by-heart and repetition (the first two modules). In turn, the course aims at establishing near-to-natural pronunciation, automatized speech and solid grammatical understanding, including writing skills (spelling and syntax). Signing up for Danish means that students commit themselves to active and steady participation and ca. 4-6 hours of homework every week. First lesson is September 1 in room O.20 at 12:25.

It is our pleasure to congratulate you on your enrolment into Natural and Cultural Heritage Management program! This handbook was designed by Natural and Cultural Heritage Management students who were last year in the same situation as you are right now. On account of that, these people put their heads together and created this handbook to make your first days in the new environment as simple as possible. We believe that this guidebook will provide you with all necessary information – it covers topics like getting to Hjørring, deals with all the important arrangements and describes possibilities in this area. We hope that it will help you to get answers to your questions. We really look forward to meeting you in person. Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions or concerns.

WHAT TO ARRANGE BEFORE YOUR DEPARTURE There are certain things you should arrange back home before coming to Denmark. Having all these matters sorted out before your departure can save you lots of time and troubles. In this chapter, we will mention the most important ones. Tip! Look https://www.ucn.dk/english/programmes-and-courses/naku/coming-to-denmark/faq-about- denmark to see the frequently asked questions. General Power of attorney It’s useful to arrange power of attorney before you leave your home country – this will allow the person (for instance one of your parents) to act on your behalf in various matters (receiving mail addressed on your name, dealing with legal issues etc.) Documents Don’t forget to check expiry date of your identification documents (passport, ID, driving license, also bank card etc.). You’ll avoid trip to the embassy (or your home country) later on. Study confimration You’ll get confirmation of your study at the beginning of the school year. If you need it earlier due to some serious reason, contact the university, they will certainly try to help you. Medical check ups You’ll be assigned a doctor here in Denmark, as soon as you receive your CPR number (more information in section „Arrangements“). Nevertheless, it’s good to manage your regular check ups while being in your home country (especially appointments at a dentist, an eye specialist etc.) Bank and finances Contact your bank regarding using your card abroad. Paying by card is usually without any additional fees, however, additional fees might apply if you want to cash out or transfer money abroad. Currency Local currency is Danish krone (DKK). It’s usual to pay by card at most of the places (shops, restaurants, cafés etc.), however, it’s always useful to have some money in cash. Tip! You cannot pay by card in the school canteen and Library café so make sure that you have some cash if you plan on eating there. Money exchange You can exchange money in most of the banks in Hjørring. There is a limit for the amount of money you can exchange at one time and you might be asked for your ID or other identification. Check the opening times online, most of the banks are open until 16.00 (17.00) and closed at the weekends. Danish bank account Opening a Danish account might take a while (you need to have your CPR number first), so you should take this into consideration. (For more information about banks in Denmark and opening an account, see chapter „Arrangements “) University College of Northern Denmark, Skolevangen 45, Hjørring Monthly expenses (approximately) 4000dkk – 5000dkk per household RENT - including electricity - final price depends on how many people share the apartment, whether you have your own room etc. - 3 months deposit in advance! - apartments unfurnished - possibility to buy cheap stuff in second hand shops 100dkk – 250dkk per household INTERNET - depending on how "fast" internet you want 100 dkk MOBILE - there is a company called LEBARA (it is possible to order a free sim-card on the internet or buy it at the newsstand without any registration) - you can buy a 100/200/500 dkk credit or prepaid month packages 1000dkk – 2000dkk FOOD - depending on how much you want to spend on food - otherwise, dumpster-diving is very "cool" here bicycle is the way! TRANSPORT - most of the places in Hjørring in walkable distance - great for cycling - train ticket to Aalborg: without Rejsekort 80 dkk/ with Rejsekort cca 40 dkk Health insurance Get in touch with your health insurance company about what rules apply when you study abroad. As an EU student, you will be covered by the Danish Health Care System provided you bring the blue EU health insurance card. University College of Northern Denmark, Skolevangen 45, Hjørring Accommodation (more information in chapter "Accommodation") „Cottage village“ Cottage village is a temporary accommodation for students of NCHM located near Hjørring camping site, round 15 minutes walking distance from school. Depending on number of international students, you’ll be either staying in cottages themselves or in an adjacent building (belongs to local football club). You’ll have your own room or you will share one with other international, there is a kitchen, common room, showers, washing machines and driers available. Staying in cottage village is a great way hot to get to know your classmates (and maybe future flatmates) and you will definitely have some fun. It will also give you time to look for proper accommodation (you can stay here from 21th August until 15th October). Address: Børge Christensens vej. 12, 9800 Hjørring When to come? The official start of the programme is at the beginning of September. It’s good to arrive few days earlier in order to acclimatize and get to know the surroundings There is no point in coming well in advance (e.g. more than few weeks), unless you‘re planning to travel around the region (summer in North Jutland is really nice) or look for accommodation. In case you consider looking for a job, you’ll probably have to wait until the school starts, as some of the arrangements which are necessary regarding this issue (CPR number, residence permit), are organized by school itself. What to take with you? You can get

  • THE BICYCLE RING in AARHUS, DENMARK: a Case Study of Maintaining People Friendly Environments While Managing Cycling Growth
    THE BICYCLE RING IN AARHUS, DENMARK: a case study of maintaining people friendly environments while managing cycling growth Urban Planning & Management | Master Thesis | Aalborg University | June 2017 Estella Johanna Hollander & Matilda Kristina Porsö Title: The Bicycle Ring in Aarhus, Denmark: a case study of maintaining people friendly environments while managing cycling growth Study: M.Sc. in UrBan Planning and Management, School of Architecture, Design and Planning, AalBorg University Project period: FeBruary to June 2017 Authors: Estella Johanna Hollander and Matilda Kristina Porsö Supervisor: Gunvor RiBer Larsen Pages: 111 pages Appendices: 29 pages (A-E) i Abstract This research project seeks to analyze the relationship Between cycling and people friendly environments, specifically focusing on the growth in cycling numbers and the associated challenges. To exemplify this relationship, this research project uses a case study of the Bicycle Ring (Cykelringen) in Aarhus, Denmark. Four corners around the Bicycle Ring, with different characteristics in the Built environment, are explored further. In cities with a growing population, such as Aarhus, moBility is an important focus because the amount of travel will increase, putting a higher pressure on the existing infrastructure. In Aarhus, cycling is used as a tool to facilitate the future demand of travel and to overcome the negative externalities associated with car travel. The outcome of improved mobility and accessibility is seen as complementary to a good city life in puBlic spaces. Therefore, it is argued that cycling is a tool to facilitate people friendly environments. Recently, the City of Aarhus has implemented cycle streets around the Bicycle Ring as a solution to improve the conditions around the ring.

The national bicycle strategy 4.| Denmark - on your bike! Denmark - on your bike! Published by: Ministry of Transport Frederiksholms Kanal 27F 1220 Copenhagen K Prepared by: Ministry of Transport ISBN internet version: 978-87-91511-93-6 Frontpage image: Danish Road Directorate Niclas Jessen, Panorama Ulrik Jantzen FOREWORD | 5v Foreword Denmark has a long tradition for cycling and that makes us somewhat unique in the world. We must retain our strong cycling culture and pass it on to our children so they can get the same pleasure of moving through traf- fic on a bicycle. Unfortunately, we cycle less today than we did previously. It is quite normal for Danes to get behind the wheel of the car, even for short trips. It is com- fortable and convenient in our busy daily lives. If we are to succeed in en- couraging more people to use their bicycles, therefore, we must make it more attractive and thus easier to cycle to work, school and on leisure trips. We can achieve this by, for example, creating better cycle paths, fewer stops, secure bicycle parking spaces and new cycling facilities. In the government, we are working for a green transition and we want to promote cycling, because cycling is an inexpensive, healthy and clean form of transport. The state has never before done as much in this regard as we are doing at present.
