Aalborg University (AAU), situated in three large cities in Denmark, offers a wide range of English-taught bachelor and master programs. AAU has provided students with academic excellence, cultural engagement and personal development since its inception in 1974, but despite being a fairly young university, AAU is already ranked amongst the best and most acknowledged international universities in the world.

The great majority of ranking lists name AAU, and AAU is thus in the top 2% of the world's 17,000 universities.

AAU study method gathers international acclaim

AAU is unique in many ways but one leading thing is the study method called “The Aalborg Model for Problem Based Learning (PBL)”. The method is highly respected both nationally and internationally, and the students obtain an important academic and social dimension in both group projects and research (http://www.en.aau.dk/education/problem-based-learning/).

AAU offers education and research within the fields of natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, technical and health sciences. All research and study programs have a heavy emphasis on sustainability and providing interdisciplinary solutions to the problems facing our world of today.
