With over 37,000
students and more than 7,000 employees, the University of
Copenhagen is the largest institution of research and education
in Denmark. The purpose of the University – to quote the
University Statute – is to ’conduct research and provide further
education to the highest academic level’.
Approximately one hundred different institutes, departments, laboratories, centres, museums, etc., form the nucleus of the University, where professors, lecturers and other academic staff, as well as most of the technical and administrative personnel, carry out their daily work, and where teaching takes place. These activities take place in various environments ranging from the plant world of the Botanical Gardens, through high-technology laboratories and auditoriums, to the historic buildings and lecture rooms of Frue Plads and other locations. On 1 January 2007, the University of Copenhagen merged with The Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University and The Danish University of Pharmaceutical Sciences. The two universities are now faculties at the University of Copenhagen. University of Copenhagen Postbox 2177, 1017 Kbh. K Denmark www.ku.dk |
