Location

Copenhagen is relatively small (1.2 mill) and compact compared to other capitals, so it is easy to quickly know your way around. The University of Copenhagen has four campus areas in Copenhagen. The University premises range from historic buildings in the medieval city centre to modern buildings being constructed today to develop the campus areas and accommodate state-of-the-art research and teaching facilities.

  • City Campus: As indicated in the name, the City Campus is in the heart of Copenhagen city centre. The campus area comprises the Faculty of Theology, the Faculty of Law, the Faculty of Social Sciences and some of the Health Sciences.
  • North Campus: The campus area is located just north of the city centre, across from Copenhagen's largest park, Fælledparken, between the high end area of Østerbro and Nørrebro. 14,000 students in the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences study at the North Campus.
  • Frederiksberg Campus: The Frederiksberg Campus hosts part of the Faculty of Science with areas of studies including natural and biosciences. It is located a few kilometres west of the city centre in beautiful green surroundings.
  • South Campus: The South campus is located just south of the city centre and has a student population of around 11,000. The campus is home to the Faculty of Humanities.
