## Summary

Aarhus University started in 1928 as a small private initiative offering university courses in Jutland, the first outside Copenhagen. It grew into Denmark's second-oldest and one of its largest universities, centred on a yellow-brick park campus in Aarhus. A 2007 merger brought in several research institutes and business and education schools.
