7. Useful Information
Timetable, exams and courses
Timetables for the autumn of 2020 will be available at: https://www.moodle.aau.dk/
When you have activated your student account (information received separately), you will
be able to go into Moodle and you will then have to enrol in ‘the study secretariat for CCG’.
Then you will find information available on timetable, exams, study regulations, semester
information etc. You will also have to enrol in all courses that you are taking as well.
Below are some basic information about your semester, but these will also be explained at
the semester introduction, where there will also be a chance to ask follow-up questions.
On your first semester you will be expected to take four exams in order to complete the
semester (30 ECTS is required to complete a semester):
A project exam under the heading global processes (15 ECTS)
An exam in Philosophy of Science and Methodology (5 ECTS)
An active participation exam called Profile Course 1 (5 ECTS) within one of the
three academic profiles below
An elective exam (5 ECTS) in one of the following: Current issues I, Arctic Studies,
Chinese Area Studies, Latin American Studies, Global Gender Studies
As a vantage point, all CCG students are expected to follow three core courses as well as
two so-called profile courses that students choose themselves:
Core courses:
Globalisation
Cultural Worlds/Worlds of Culture
Philosophy of Science and Methodology
Profile courses:
Online Market Communication
Global consumer culture
10
Organisational Leadership and Intercultural Competence
Organizational Culture and Communication
Social movements and Global Democracy
International migration and ethnic relations
Furthermore, there will be elective courses on offer, one in a topic central to current
research in the field of culture and/or communication in a globalisation context, and others
relating to various specializations that are also relevant issues within Culture,
Communication and Globalization. There will be one course on offer under each of these
headings:
Current Issues in CCG
Arctic Studies
Chinese Area Studies
Latin American Studies
Global Gender Studies
Course descriptions are available in Moodle, and during semester introduction, the
structure of the programme will be explained further.
Aalborg University Library (AUB)
At the library you will of course find many of the books relevant for your studies at CCG, as
well as the latest issues of academic journals (a plethora of these available via online
databases), international newspapers, computers, reading room, audio listening facilities,
etc. Furthermore, there is free Internet access via the library computers. The central library
is located at Kroghstræde 3. For further information, visit the homepage at
https://www.aub.aau.dk/afdelinger/kroghstraede and join the library workshop later in the
semester (see schedule in Moodle for date and time).
University Bookstore
In the bookstore − at Fibigerstræde 15 − some literature needed for courses offered at
CCG will be made available (most readings will be made available for downloading via the
11
website). The bookstore also sells the stationary you will need as a student at Aalborg
University. For further information, visit: http://ftu.dk/

Introduction to Campus Service/AAU Map
At the following link you will find useful information about Campus service:
http://www.en.campusservice.aau.dk/
Find your way around Aalborg University:
With AAU Map you may easily find your way
to classrooms, work spaces, canteens,
libraries and other relevant locations at
Aalborg University. The app makes it easy to
navigate around AAU - simply use the
search function and let the app guide you to
an address or a specific room.
How does AAU map work?
AAU Map works similarily to other navigation apps via GPS. You can search for addresses
or specific room numbers at AAU, and once you have entered a location, the route shows
on a map that guides you from your current position to your desired destination.
