 Welcome to Ohus and to Ohus University. Ohus is the second largest city in Denmark and is located here. The university is quite young, established in 1928 by local citizens, but it has developed into a globally oriented, academically diverse and research intensive university with four faculties, arts, Ohus BSS, health and science and technology. The main hall, which towers over the university park, is one of the central features. The distinctive buildings were designed by the Danish architect C.F. Møller. The buildings and park are included in Denmark's cultural canon. They are one of the top 12 architectural masterpieces in Denmark. The university park is an integral part of the city center. It's a central meeting place and recreational area for students of all nationalities studying all kinds of subjects. Each year, the park hosts the Ohus Boat Race, which is one of the biggest events run by students in northern Europe. More than 20,000 students come along to join in the fun. Ohus is a young and dynamic city. The average age is about 37, making it one of the youngest places in Denmark. You're almost bound to notice the rainbow on top of the Aros Art Museum. From here, you get a panoramic view of the whole city. But when you walk around Ohus, please keep an eye out for the bikes. Danes simply love cycling and there are bikes everywhere. The river runs through the city center and is lined with cafes and restaurants. It ends up down at the harbour and the main library called Docken, from where there's a great view of the bay. We look forward to welcoming you to Ohus and to Ohus University.
