Software Engineering at University of Aalborg

For the first time in 3 years I am back in college studying at the University of Aalborg (AAU) and following the program for a bachelor degree of science in Software Engineering, which is a program under the School of information and computer technology.
So now I been back in "school" for about 5 weeks and here is my thoughts on the program so far.

Problem based learning

AAU base their way of teaching on a principal of problem based learning, which in basic means you are given a problem or have to find a problem and the solve or try to solve it. 
This means that the way you learn is by a pratical approach and often in teams, so not only do you learn to solve a problem. You also learn to work in a team and you learn to think and analyse problems with a scientific perspective 

What they do for the social enviroment

First day all new student meets in the city centre and share breakfast and you are sitting with your new fellow students. 
Then the next couples of weeks there will be a hole lot of social arrangements to russell all up and 
together, parties, sports events and boat race.  Unfourntually for me I had to work so I can't describe this in all its glory.


Later I will talk about the different courses
