With the University Park at its centre, the Aarhus Campus extends across the city. The University Park, where students meet to study, revise, socialise and attend the annual boat race, is home to the distinctive yellow university buildings. These buildings house most of the degree programmes within the university’s five faculties: The Faculty of Arts, Aarhus BSS, the Faculty of Health, the Faculty of Natural Sciences and the Faculty of Technical Sciences. The buildings on Fuglesangs Allé (Department of Management and Depatment of Economics and Business Economics) are not far away. The engineering degree programmes are based at Navitas at Aarhus harbour and at Katrinebjerg.
The Aarhus Campus is undergoing extensive renovations and expanding to a new Campus 2.0. The expansion is part of a vision to develop the campus in Aarhus into an even more attractive and future-oriented research and study environment. One notable project is rebuilding the old hospital buildings on Nørrebrogade. This initiative is transforming the historic site into a new section of the University Campus known as the University City.
