Student Associations and Clubs
ESN-Copenhagen
During the semester ESN-Copenhagen arranges all kinds of events for international students as well as the local students at The University of Copenhagen. Our goal is to create a forum where international students can get to know Danish culture and meet local as well as other international students.

If you are interested in doing sports while you are studying at the University of Copenhagen, we encourage you to make use of the University's Sports Association (Universitetets Studenter-Gymnastik/USG). It is cheap compared to joining other clubs and it is a good way to socialise with Danish and other international students in an informal way.
The Student House
(Studenterhuset)
Købmagergade 52 (map)
DK-1150 Copenhagen K
Tel: +45 35 32 38 60 (Café)
The Student House (Studenterhuset) is located in the centre of Copenhagen, and functions as a natural place for students from different faculties to meet, study and have a good time.
Activities
During the week the Student House puts on a range of activities such as debates, quiz-night, gay-day, live music and an International Café (see below). Furthermore, the house is home to a number of activity groups with interests such as poetry reading, music, environmental issues, photography and dancing.
Membership
As a student enrolled in the University of Copenhagen, you are automatically a member of the Student House, allowing you among other things to join the activity groups and obtain various discounts on drinks, photocopies, etc.
International Café
Every Wednesday night during the semester is International Café night in the Student House (Studenterhuset). 300-400 Danish and international students meet to have a drink and debate and joke in numerous languages. The atmosphere is friendly and open which has made the International Café an important meeting place for all international students.
Become Part of the Crew
If you are keen to help behind the bar, the Student House is often looking for volunteers. The work is unpaid, but it is a great way to meet new people and become part of the active crew that makes the house a lively and popular place for all students.
Friday-bars
If you want to experience Danish student-life, the "Fredags-bar" is a must. They take place at almost every institute and department at the university on Friday afternoons. Be aware that some institutes have "Torsdags-bar" (Thursday afternoon) instead. Some of the larger "Fredags-bars" are to be found at: Geography, Medicine/Odontology, Biology - "Biobar", Political Science, Psychology, Law, Pharmacy, the Faculty of Life Sciences.
In the Faculty of Humanities, Café Mødestedet (The Meeting Point) is a popular place where students from all areas of studies in the Faculty meet. The cafe is open Monday to Friday.
