Choose from 85+ courses across all academic areas — from business and social sciences to nanoscience and biotechnology. Courses are taught in English by researchers who bring current knowledge into the classroom, not just textbook theory.
Earn 5 or 10 ECTS credits per course, designed for straightforward transfer to your home university.
Every week includes social events designed to help you explore Denmark and meet students from 60+ countries. Beach bonfires, canoe trips on the Aarhus River, street food and outdoor cinema, visits to ARoS art museum — it's all part of the programme.
You'll leave with credits, but also with friendships and stories.
Aarhus has been voted Denmark's best student city three years running. It's compact enough to cycle everywhere, safe enough to walk home at night, and lively enough to never feel bored.
Almost everyone speaks English. Copenhagen is two hours away. The rest of Europe is a cheap flight.
