Aarhus University (Danish: Aarhus Universitet, truncated AU) is a prestigious state funded college situated in Aarhus, Denmark. Established in 1928, it is Denmark's second most established college and the biggest, with an aggregate of 44,500 enlisted understudies starting 1 January 2013, after a merger with Aarhus School of Engineering. In many prestigious positioning arrangements of the world's best colleges, Aarhus University is put in the main 100. The college has a place with the Coimbra Group of European universities.[8] The business college inside Aarhus University, called Aarhus BSS, holds the EFMD (European Foundation for Management Development) Equis accreditation, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and the Association of MBAs (AMBA). This makes the business college of Aarhus University one of only a handful few on the planet to have the alleged Triple Crown accreditations.

Denmark's first teacher of humanism was an individual from the workforce of Aarhus University (Theodor Geiger, from 1938–1952), and in 1997 Professor Jens Christian Skou got the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his revelation of the sodium-potassium pump. In 2010, Dale T. Mortensen, a Niels Bohr Visiting Professor at Aarhus University, got the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences together with his partners Peter Diamond and Christopher Pissarides.

Aarhus University was established on 11 September 1928 as Universitetsundervisningen i Jylland ("University Studies in Jutland") with a financial plan of 33,000 Dkr and an enlistment of 64 understudies, which rose to 78 amid the main semester. The college was established as a reaction to the expanding number of understudies at the University of Copenhagen after World War I. Classrooms were leased from the Technical College and the showing corps comprised of one teacher of reasoning and four partner educators of Danish, English, German and French. Alongside Universitets-Samvirket ("The University Association") which comprised of agents of Aarhus' organizations, associations and establishments, the region of Aarhus had battled subsequent to 1921 to have Denmark's next college situated in the city.

In 1929, the region of Aarhus gave the college land with a scene of moving slopes. The outline of the college structures and 12 ha grounds region was doled out to engineers C. F. Møller, Kay Fisker and Povl Stegmann, who won the building rivalry in 1931. The main structures housed the Departments of Chemistry, Physics and Anatomy and were opened on 11 September 1933, that year the name Aarhus University was initially utilized. The development of the structures was subsidized exclusively by gifts which totaled 935,000 Dkr and the structures secured a region of 4,190m2. A standout amongst the most liberal benefactors was De Forenede Teglværker i Aarhus ("The United Tileworks of Aarhus") drove by chief K. Nymark. Forenede Teglværker chose to give 1 million yellow blocks and tiles worth c. 50,000 Dkr and later chose to extend the gift to all blocks expected to develop the building.

The introduction was praised in a tent on grounds and went to by King Christian X, Queen Alexandrine, their child Crown Prince Frederick and Prime Minister Stauning together with 1000 other welcomed visitors. On 23 April 1934, Aarhus University was offered authorization to hold examinations by the ruler and on 10 October 1935, Professor Dr. phil. Ernst Frandsen was named the primary minister of the college. Since 1939, C. F. Møller Architects has been in charge of building exercises of the college which today has a story range of 246,000m2 in the University Park alone and a progression of structures outside the Park with an aggregate floor territory of 59,000m2.
