UNIVERSITY OF AARHUS

 General

The University of Aarhus ranks amongst the 120 best in the world, and has very strong academic environments within science, health sciences, social sciences, theology and the humanities. The study environment at the university is concentrated around an attractive campus in the centre of the city of Aarhus – with excellent opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration and contact with all parts of the university. The university is internationally oriented and in a strong state of development, with an extensive academic scope that covers all aspects of the social sectors.
In 2007, the University of Aarhus merged with the Danish National Environmental Research Institute (NERI), the Danish Institute of Agricultural Sciences (DIAS), the Aarhus School of Business (ASB) and the Danish University of Education (DPU). As a result of the merger, the University of Aarhus has considerably increased in size, and is the second-largest university in Denmark. The university has approximately 35,000 students and a staff of about 9,000 (full-time equivalent).
The University of Aarhus is one of Europe’s leading research institutions and, among Danish universities, its research competence covers the broadest range of research fields. The university wishes to combine research in new ways – with new subject areas and across traditional subject borders – in greater depth and in new and unknown fields. The University of Aarhus offers all types of research from basic, applied and strategic research to research-based advice to the authorities and knowledge transfer.

The university takes an active part in international student and research collaboration and has a considerable number of strategic alliances with universities and research institutions all over the world. Researchers and research talent at the university take part in top international teams, and the university’s institutes, centres and departments have state-of-the-art equipment, databases and libraries. In a number of cases, they also host international research activities.
