Planning of teaching activities

Here you will find an overview of timetables and curricula at Health. See who is responsible for planning, where you can find your plans, and the principles and time frames according to which teaching is planned.

Timetable = time and place of teaching

Health Studies is responsible for planning.

Curriculum = subject, syllabus, and preparation

The course coordinator is responsible for the curriculum.

Process for planning teaching

Health Studies collects information from course coordinators twice a year in order to prepare timetables:

  • Fall semester: February 1
  • Spring semester: beginning of August

Before the timetable is published to students, teachers and course coordinators can familiarize themselves with it.

Publication takes place before the registration periods:

  • May 1-5 (fall semester)
  • November 1-5 (spring semester)

After registration and class placement, the following can be done:

  • Teachers and course coordinators can find the timetable at timetable.au.dk and synchronize it with Outlook
  • Students can find their personal timetable at mitstudie.au.dk
     

Principles for planning teaching at Health

Teaching is planned within the following framework:

  • Monday–Thursday: 8:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m

  • Friday: 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.

  • Spring semester: weeks 5–21

  • Fall semester: weeks 35–50

Health Studies plans its teaching based on an overall assessment of:

  • Location close to the students' study environment
  • Close dialogue with departments and course coordinators
  • Teaching is generally planned in full hours, unless otherwise specified in the curriculum
  • Teaching days do not normally start at 9:00 a.m., as teaching is planned in blocks of two hours
  • Consecutive study days are prioritized, but breaks between classes may occur
  • Consecutive working days for teachers
  • Best fit: best possible use of the premises
  • Best match: premises and equipment suit the teaching method
