| University information | The Danish School of Education, Aarhus University, was established on 1 June 2007 by the merger of the Danish University of Education and the Aarhus University. Most research and study activities at the School of Education are located at the campus in Emdrup in the northern part of the capital of Copenhagen. Other teaching activities take part in Denmark's second largest city Aarhus.
The Danish School of Education is a modern postgraduate university school that conducts research and offers research-based postgraduate programmes within the entire field of education studies. Our aim is to enhance the overall quality of research and training in education, learning and competence development in Denmark and globally.

| General information | Though there is evidence that Copenhagen existed as a settlement over 6,000 years ago, its first written record did not come until 1043.
At this time Copenhagen, then called simply Havn (harbour), was of little strategic or political importance but consisted merely of a small group of wattle and daub huts located between the present day Rådhuspladsen (City Hall Square) and the sea. The occupation of the population consisted mainly of fishing the plentiful herring in Øresund, the narrow stretch of water separating Denmark and Sweden.
Gradually, however, the town began to grow in significance because of its en route position between the royal seat in Roskilde (west of Copenhagen) and the religious centre of the Cathedral of Lund in southern Sweden, an area that was also full of trading posts. It should be remembered that at this time southern Sweden was part of the Danish kingdom.
