University of Copenhagen

The University of Copenhagen (Københavns Universitet), or KU, is Denmark’s largest and oldest research institution and university. The oldest campus is located in central Copenhagen, with other campuses in the general area. KU was founded in 1479. In 1801, the British navy under Admiral Nelson attacked Copenhagen and destroyed many of the university’s buildings. Rebuilding began in 1836 and continued until the turn of the century.

Programs are offered in science, health and medical sciences, social sciences, theology, law, central administration and the humanities. Most courses are offered in Danish, with several in English and a few in German.
