Since its founding in 1928, Aarhus University (AU) has grown to become a leading public university with international impact and reach across the entire research spectrum. This breadth gives the university a strong vantage point from which to combine disciplines in the creation of research breakthroughs, and to establish close collaboration with many sectors to the benefit of society as a whole. AU is consistently ranked as one of the world’s top 100 universities – out of over 17,000 universities worldwide. It was ranked number 78 in the latest Shanghai ranking and is among the world’s 100 best universities in 18 out of 48 subjects in the latest QS World University Rankings by Subject. AU has around 38,000 students, 10,700 employees, 1,800 PhD-students and close to 1,000 postdoctoral scholars. Internationalisation is at the heart of AU’s mission and activities. For example, 10 % of the main student body is from abroad, and 25% of AU’s salaried research has a foreign nationality.
The School of Communication and Culture (CC) belongs to the Faculty of Arts and offers a broad range of research and degree programmes across a variety of fields: Aesthetics, Literature, Information and Media studies, Linguistics, Scandinavian Studies, Western European Languages and Cultures as well as the Arts.
