Campus and facilities

Due to the characteristic architecture of the university and the location in the scenic University Park, Aarhus University Campus is listed among the 10 most beautiful campuses in the world by Huffington Post. The yellow bricks and tile roofs give the architecture of the campus an impressing cohesiveness allowing for a unique combination of modern architectural elements and the original college buildings from the 1930s. The Department of Political Science is located in the north end of the University Park and as a student at AMAPS, you will have easy access to the campus facilities.

This website provides information on the facilities on campus and at the Department of Political Science in particular.
