The story of Aarhus University is the story of its employees, students, researchers and volunteers. And you can relive it all at the after party for Denmark’s Biggest 90th Birthday Party, hosted by the Student Council, Studenterhus Aarhus, Studenterhusfonden, Stakbogladen bookshop and the university chaplains.

On the occasion of Aarhus University’s 90th anniversary, the Student House invites employees and students to you to a huge after party following Denmark’s Biggest Friday bar and Sports Day on Friday 21 September. The doors will open when the party in the University Park ends at midnight.

Come immerse yourself in the university’s history – and have a nightcap and a bite to eat – in the classic AU yellow buildings. The Student House will be offering everything from coffee and cognac in the Stakbogladen bookshop, cocktails in the Study Café, midnight mass and Trappist beer with the university chaplains and a midnight snack in Studenterhusfonden’s cafeteria.

The halls of the familiar buildings will be turned into an exhibition of amazing historical photos telling the story of Aarhus University.
