At Aalborg University, all students are introduced to the study activity model and the expected workload of a typical semester. This introduction is mandatory and must be part of the overall semester introduction at all bachelor's and master's degree programmes.

As a minimum, the introduction to the study activity mode must include the following:

• The pedagogical approach of AAU and how this is reflected in the  activities of the study activity model
• The expected workload of students, including increased expected workload during peak periods (full-time study involves an
  average of approximately 43 hours in active programme weeks)
• How the various study activities are included in the specific programme
• How students are responsible for their own learning achievements
• Study activities organised by lecturers
• Study activities that the students themselves are responsible for organising
