About The Program
Aarhus is a perfect example of why Denmark scores high on livability rankings. It's cozy, relaxed and packed with student-friendly vibes. At Aarhus University, you’ll be part of a diverse international student community with courses in English that fit right into your degree plan. The university has a strong support system for study abroad students, including buddy programs to help you settle in, social events to connect with new friends, and student discounts all over town. Campus life is lively, with plenty of cafés, libraries, and green spaces to study or relax. When you're not in class, head to Den Permanente for a swim in the Aarhus Bay (or a winter dip if you’re feeling adventurous). Prefer the woods? Marselisborg Forest has scenic hiking trails, hidden picnic spots, and even a deer park where you can get up close to friendly deer. History lovers can step back in time at the Old Town, while art fans won’t want to miss the rainbow rooftop at the ARoS Art Museum. Bonus: Aarhus even has free city bikes to help you get around.
Where you'll study
Aarhus is a vibrant, walkable city with an easy-going college-town atmosphere. The city’s fairly young, modern university, Aarhus University, has quickly become a leading public research university making waves internationally. In just a few decades it has built collaborative ties to business and cultural communities as well as strong networks with universities throughout the world. A soft place to land for international students, Aarhus University has been welcoming exchange students for over 50 years. Attend the social and cultural activities with local and foreign students at the International Student House. Take your turn at paddling in the student association boat races, whirl like a Viking around the bonfire at the Midsummer celebration, and fill your plate at the traditional Jutlandic cake buffet in February. The university city is brimming with historical landmarks, festivals, artwork, and cozy restaurants. The main campus where you’ll be studying is located on the Jutland peninsula with clear water beaches, beautiful woods, and lush parks just a short bike ride away.
