Learn more about campus activities and events
Every year, around 3,500 international students from more than 60 different countries attend VIA on exchange or full degree programmes at one of their eight campuses. International students have the opportunity to be matched with a local student buddy/mentor who can help navigate student life at VIA.
At each VIA campus, there is a student council or social community responsible for improving the quality of your student life and study environment. A variety of social activities and events are available on campus along with professional courses.
While some campuses have their own sports clubs, Denmark offers almost 16,000 in total, as the Danes are very involved in leisure activities. There is a club for almost any kind of sport, and we therefore encourage our students to become involved in a local sports club to make new friends and grow their network while pursuing their interests.
