About the University

In Copenhagen, Denmark, there is a renowned public research institution known as the Institution of Copenhagen (Kbenhavns Universitet, abbreviated as KU). The institution of Copenhagen, which was established in 1479, is the second-oldest in Scandinavia after Uppsala University and is regarded as one of the best universities in the Nordic region, Europe, and the entire world.

The University of Copenhagen was established as a Catholic academic institution with a predominately theological bent by Christian I of Denmark, whose creation was approved by Pope Sixtus IV. It was reinstated in 1537 as a result of the Lutheran Reformation under King Christian III. The university focused mostly on training clergymen up to the 18th century. The University of Copenhagen underwent numerous reforms in the 18th and 19th centuries, becoming a modern, secular institution where the primary fields of study and instruction were science and the humanities rather than theology.

The University of Copenhagen has six unique faculties, and classes are held on its four separate campuses, all of which are located in Copenhagen. Copenhagen is home to 122 independent research centers, 36 distinct departments, and several museums and botanical gardens, both inside and outside of the Danish city. In addition, the University of Copenhagen owns and runs several research facilities throughout Denmark, as well as two more in Greenland.

Additionally, Copenhagen University Hospital is a grouping of the public hospitals in Denmark’s Capital and Zealand Region and the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences.

According to Shanghai Jiao Tong University’s 2021 Academic Ranking of World Universities, the University of Copenhagen is the top university in Denmark and Scandinavia, seventh in Europe, and thirty-first overall.
