Let’s Take a Trip Down Memory Lane
Master Introduction Week
This year it will be on the 29th and 30th of August 2024
Get Ready for the Master Case Challenge!
A big part of The Master Introduction Week is the annual Master Case Challenge. During the Master Case Challenge, new master students will be invited to solve a business case from one of our seven partners.
Each study line will be divided into smaller teams in which the students can concentrate on a specific and study relevant case while competing against other teams. The goal with the Master Case Challenge is to get an insight into the academic and professional environment at Aarhus BSS, while also being a great opportunity for the individual to get to know their fellow students.
After the case-solving, our partners will select the best solutions during the evening and present their finalists. These finalists will be asked to present their solutions for the companies the day after. Later this day the winner of each case will be presented on stage by the respective company. For the winners of all seven cases, a unique opportunity to network and gain deeper insight to the seven partners will be granted.
Below you can see which case company each study line will be working on during the Master Introduction Week. In the menu to the left, you can see a brief presentation of the participating companies.
We are looking very much forward to the Master Case Challenge 2024.
Best regards,

“Can’t wait! What about practicalities?”
We’ve collected all of the practical information and handed it over to Aarhus University, please find them here!
You still have questions?
Understandable! Here’s our frequently asked questions
“Do I have to sign up for The Master Introduction Days?“
- No, you do not have to sign up for the Master Introduction Days. You just have to show up and your Master Instructors will take care of you. You will receive an e-mail with more information on your respective Master Study Line’s start.
“How do I find the location I am expected to show up?”
- If you do not know how to locate the buildings, you can just show up at Campus Fuglesangs Allé at Aarhus University, School of Business & Social Sciences, Thursday morning, where all the Master Instructors and helpers will guide you to the right location. You can download the App “AU Find” which can help you locate buildings at Aarhus University.
“Do I have to participate in the entire programme?“
- We recommend that you participate in the entire Introduction programme to get the best start at your new study. However, if you cannot participate in the entire introduction, we highly recommend that you still join the parts of the programme that you can attend.
“Can you help me find accommodation?“
- Unfortunately, we cannot help you with finding accommodation in Aarhus. It is your own responsibility. However, we know from experience that all students who have come to Aarhus have found a place to stay at the beginning of the semester. You will find posters around campus regarding private accommodation offers. Throughout the Introduction Days, the team coordinators are happy to help you and offer you different advice and tips.
