Aarhus University

Aarhus University (Danish: Aarhus Universitet, abbreviated AU) is a public research university in the city of Aarhus on the Jutland peninsula of Denmark, and it is the second largest and the second oldest university in the country.奥胡斯大学（丹麦语：Aarhus Universitet，简称 AU）是位于丹麦日德兰半岛奥胡斯市的公立研究型大学，也是丹麦规模第二大、建校第二古老的高等学府。

Its Latin motto, Solidum petit in profundis, seeks a firm footing in the depths, the main campus encircles the University Park in the city centre, and in 2021 the university counted 38,000 students and 8,300 administrative staff on a budget of DKK 7 billion, about EUR 933 million.学校的拉丁语校训为「Solidum petit in profundis」，意为在深处寻求稳固的立足点；主校区环绕市中心的大学公园展开，2021 年学校在校生 38,000 人、行政人员 8,300 个全职当量，预算 70 亿丹麦克朗，约合 9.33 亿欧元。

History

• The university was founded on 11 September 1928 under the name Universitetsundervisningen i Jylland, University Studies in Jutland, with a budget of 33,000 Danish kroner and sixty-four enrolled students who rose to seventy-eight during the very first semester.1928 年 9 月 11 日，学校以「Universitetsundervisningen i Jylland」（日德兰大学讲习所）之名创办，预算 33,000 丹麦克朗，入学学生 64 人，首学期即增至 78 人。

• The founding was a direct response to the growing numbers of students at the University of Copenhagen after the First World War, classrooms were rented from the Technical College, and the teaching corps consisted of one professor of philosophy and four associate professors of Danish, English, German and French.建校直接回应了第一次世界大战后哥本哈根大学学生激增的问题；教室向 Technical College 租用，早期教学力量仅有一名哲学教授，以及分别任教丹麦语、英语、德语与法语的四名副教授。

• The project had been pushed since 1921 by the municipality of Aarhus together with the Universitets-Samvirket, a University Association made up of representatives of the city's businesses, organisations and institutions, all of them determined that Denmark's next university should stand in Aarhus.这一计划自 1921 年起由奥胡斯市政府与大学联合会 Universitets-Samvirket 共同推动，该联合会由本市企业、组织与机构的代表组成，各方都坚持丹麦的下一所大学应当建在奥胡斯。

• In 1929 the municipality gave the university land with a landscape of rolling hills, and the design of the buildings on a twelve hectare campus was entrusted to C. F. Møller, Kay Fisker and Povl Stegmann, who won the architectural competition in 1931 and began construction the following year.1929 年，市政府把一片起伏的丘陵地皮拨给学校；占地 12 公顷的校区建筑方案交由 C. F. Møller、Kay Fisker 与 Povl Stegmann 承担，三人在 1931 年赢得建筑竞赛，并于次年破土动工。

• Since 1939 the architectural design of the university has been the responsibility of C. F. Møller Architects, working in accordance with the original functionalist design key that is best exemplified by the characteristic yellow brick and tile, complemented since 2017 by the corporate colour Reflex Blue.自 1939 年起，学校的建筑设计一直由 C. F. Møller Architects 事务所负责，并始终遵循最初的功能主义设计法则，其最具代表性的元素正是标志性的黄砖与黄瓦；2017 年起，学校又加入 Reflex Blue 作为代表色。

• The first buildings were finished in 1933 to house the Departments of Chemistry, Physics and Anatomy, they were funded entirely by private donations totalling 935,000 kroner, and they covered a floor area of 4,190 square metres.首批建筑于 1933 年落成，容纳化学系、物理系与解剖学系，完全由总额 935,000 丹麦克朗的私人捐款资助，建筑面积 4,190 平方米。

• Among the most generous donors was the United Tileworks of Aarhus, De Forenede Teglværker i Aarhus, led by its director K. Nymark, which decided to donate one million yellow bricks and tiles worth about 50,000 kroner and then extended the donation to every brick the new buildings would require.最慷慨的捐助者之一是由厂长 K. Nymark 主持的奥胡斯联合砖瓦厂，它决定捐出一百万块黄砖与瓦、价值约 50,000 丹麦克朗，随后又把捐赠扩大到新建筑所需的全部砖块。

• The inauguration on 11 September 1933 marked the first official use of the name Aarhus University, and it was celebrated in a tent on the campus with King Christian X, Queen Alexandrine, their son the Crown Prince Frederik and Prime Minister Stauning attending together with 1,000 invited guests.1933 年 9 月 11 日的启用仪式是「奥胡斯大学」这一名称的首次正式使用，校内搭起帐篷庆祝，出席者包括国王克里斯蒂安十世、亚历山德拉王后、其子王储弗雷德里克与首相斯托宁，以及 1,000 名受邀来宾。

• The king allowed the university to hold examinations on 23 April 1934, and on 10 October 1935 Ernst Frandsen was appointed its first rector, the very same day on which the Faculty of Medicine was formally established.1934 年 4 月 23 日，国王批准学校有权自行举行考试；1935 年 10 月 10 日，哲学博士 Ernst Frandsen 出任首任校长，同日医学院正式成立。

• Because students of languages and philosophy could not complete their degrees without travelling to the University of Copenhagen for the final examinations, the king declared on 8 May 1935 that finals could be held at the Faculty of Humanities in Aarhus as well, that faculty won the right to hold magister examinations on 24 July 1936 and to award the PhD in 1940.由于语言与哲学专业学生必须赴哥本哈根大学参加结业考试，1935 年 5 月 8 日国王宣布奥胡斯文学院也可举行结业考试；该学院于 1936 年 7 月 24 日获得硕士考试权，1940 年再获博士学位授予权。

• The Faculty of Economics and Law was founded in 1936 on the recommendation of the Finance Committee of 27 January, funded entirely by private donations so that no state support was needed, and it could hold examinations in economics and law by a declaration of the king on 5 November 1937, after it began teaching political science in 1959 and psychology in 1968 it was renamed the Faculty of Social Sciences.经济与法学院于 1936 年依 1 月 27 日财政委员会的推荐设立，因完全由私人捐款资助而无需国家拨款，并于 1937 年 11 月 5 日经国王公告获得经济与法学考试权；该学院在 1959 年开设政治学、1968 年开设心理学之后，更名为社会科学学院。

• Theology teaching began long before its faculty, on 22 June 1928 the Reverend Balslev of Aarhus proposed basic courses, on 5 September 1932 the Reverend Asmund delivered the first lecture without formal approval, and when the university finally hired its own professors in 1938 the Faculty of Theology could be established in 1942.神学教学早于学院建制：1928 年 6 月 22 日奥胡斯的 Balslev 牧师提议开设基础课程，1932 年 9 月 5 日 Asmund 牧师在未获正式批准的情况下讲出第一堂课；1938 年学校聘起自己的教授后，终于在 1942 年成立神学院。

• Because the austere functionalism of the buildings of 1933 had stirred local dissatisfaction, construction of the Main Building, the Hovedbygningen, began in 1941 with more traditional classical and romantic inspirations while still following the original architectural plan, and the complex holding the university assembly hall and canteen was finished in 1946.1933 年那批建筑冷峻的功能主义曾引起本地不满，因此主楼 Hovedbygningen 于 1941 年动工，在遵循原有建筑规划的前提下融入更传统的古典与浪漫趣味，这座容纳大学集会大厅与食堂的综合体于 1946 年落成。

• In 1943 the Gestapo, the Sicherheitsdienst, the Geheime Feldpolizei and the Abwehr set up their regional headquarters in five student halls of residence on the campus, and fearing the same would happen to the new Main Building its completion was deliberately delayed, which gave the architect C. F. Møller the time to work out details such as patterned brickwork, acoustic screens and bespoke furniture.1943 年，盖世太保、安全局、秘密野战警察与军情局在校区五座学生宿舍内设立地区总部；主楼的竣工因担心重蹈覆辙而被有意推迟，这也让建筑师 C. F. Møller 有余暇打磨花砖砌法、吸音屏与定制家具等细部。

• On 31 October 1944 the Royal Air Force bombed the Gestapo headquarters in halls four and five with twenty-five Mosquito planes of 2 Group Bomber Command, killing ten civilian workers, and a memorial in the Main Building honours those ten victims together with two workers who were killed during the construction of the building in 1941.1944 年 10 月 31 日，英国皇家空军以轰炸机第二中队 25 架蚊式飞机轰炸了 4 号与 5 号宿舍内的盖世太保总部，造成 10 名平民工人死亡；主楼内的纪念碑同时纪念这 10 名遇难者与 1941 年施工中遇难的 2 名工人。

• The reconstructed Main Building opened on 11 September 1946, its furniture was designed specially for the hall by Aage Windeleff, while the industrially produced designs of Børge Mogensen became the most commonly used pieces elsewhere on the campus.重建后的主楼于 1946 年 9 月 11 日启用，大厅家具由 Aage Windeleff 专门设计，而 Børge Mogensen 的工业化量产家具则成为校区其他建筑中使用最多的款式。

• The university was an independent institution until 1970, when it became state-run under the first University Act, the 1992 Act put external organisations back on the board, and the 2003 Act placed all Danish universities under a nationwide university board that first began its work in January 2004 and appointed a new rector in August 2005.1970 年以前学校属独立机构，1970 年依首部《大学法》改为国家办学；1992 年《大学法》恢复外部组织在校务委员会中的席位；2003 年《大学法》将丹麦各大学统一置于全国性大学委员会之下，该委员会于 2004 年 1 月首次运作，并在 2005 年 8 月任命了新任校长。

• A major reorganisation effective 1 January 2011 reduced the university to four faculties, Arts, Science and Technology, Health, and Business and Social Sciences, and a further reorganisation on 1 January 2020 split Science and Technology into a Faculty of Technical Sciences and a Faculty of Natural Sciences, giving the university five main academic areas.自 2011 年 1 月 1 日起，学校进行重大重组，压缩为艺术、科学与技术、健康、商业与社会科学四个学院；2020 年 1 月 1 日再次重组，把科学与技术学院拆分为技术科学学院与自然科学学院，全校由此形成五大领域。

• After the Danish university reform of 2006 the institution absorbed the Business and Engineering School in Herning and the Danish School of Education in Copenhagen, adding 6,000 students and turning a local university into a nationwide one, in 2007 the National Environmental Research Institute and the Danish Institute of Agricultural Sciences were merged in, and in 2012 the School of Engineering was merged with the university proper.2006 年丹麦高教改革后，学校吸纳了海宁堡的商业与工程学院以及哥本哈根的丹麦教育学院，新增 6,000 名学生，由一所地方性大学变为全国性大学；2007 年国家环境研究院与丹麦农业科学院并入；2012 年工程学院与大学本部合并。

• The university now holds 246,000 square metres of floor space in the University Park alone, against the 4,190 square metres of the first buildings of 1933, buildings outside the main campus add a further 59,000 square metres, and since 1993 the campus has been protected by law so that its unified design can be conserved.如今仅大学公园一处的建筑面积已达 246,000 平方米，而 1933 年首批建筑仅 4,190 平方米，主校区之外的建筑另增 59,000 平方米；自 1993 年起校区依法受到保护，以保全其统一的设计风貌。

Academics

• Since 1 January 2020 the university has been organised into five main academic areas, Technical Sciences, which took the environmental sciences, agricultural science and engineering from the former Faculty of Science and Technology, Natural Sciences, which kept the remaining departments, Arts, which combined the former humanities and theology faculties, Aarhus BSS, which joined the social sciences with the business school, and Health, which inherited the former health sciences faculty.自 2020 年 1 月 1 日起，学校划分为五大领域：技术科学（承接原科学与技术学院的环境科学、农业科学与工程）、自然科学（保留其余各系）、艺术（合并原文学院与神学院）、奥胡斯商社会科学院（社会科学与商学院合并）、健康（原健康科学学院）。

• In the older five faculty description the university counted twenty-seven departments, and it is home to more than thirty internationally recognised research centres, including fifteen Centres of Excellence funded by the Danish National Research Foundation.在较早的五学院表述中，学校下设 27 个系，并拥有三十余个国际认可的研究中心，其中包括 15 个由丹麦国家研究基金会资助的卓越中心。

• As of 1 October 2021 more than 32,000 students were enrolled, each year more than 1,000 international exchange students come to study for one or two terms, close to 3,000 international students were enrolled in full degree programmes in 2009, and over half of all students now sit in master's and PhD programmes.截至 2021 年 10 月 1 日，在校生逾 32,000 人；每年有 1,000 多名国际交换学生来校学习一至两个学期；2009 年攻读完整学位的国际学生接近 3,000 人；如今半数以上的学生就读于硕士与博士项目。

• The university offers eight undergraduate and about sixty graduate programmes in English, and in 2011 fifty-nine of its 113 master's degree programmes were already taught in English, a proportion that made English the working language of graduate study.学校提供 8 个英文本科项目与约 60 个英文研究生项目；2011 年时，113 个硕士项目中有 59 个以英语授课，英语由此成为研究生阶段的工作语言。

• Talent development of young researchers is one of the university's core activities, so that qualified students may begin a PhD before completing a master's, either directly after it on the five plus three track or one year into it on the four plus four track, and the number of PhD students rose from about 1,000 in 2006 to about 1,700 in 2010.青年科研人才的后备培养是学校的核心工作之一，优秀学生可在读完硕士前启动博士阶段，硕士毕业即读的是五年加三年轨制，读满一年转入的是四年加四年轨制；博士生规模由 2006 年的约 1,000 人增至 2010 年的约 1,700 人。

• The fifteen Centres of Excellence carry names such as the Centre for Membrane Pumps in Cells and Disease, known as PUMPKIN, the Centre for Insoluble Protein Structures, INSPIN, the Centre for DNA Nanotechnology, the Centre for Functionally Integrative Neuroscience, CFIN, the Centre for Massive Data Algorithmics, MADALGO, the Water and Salt Research Centre, and CREATES, the Centre for Research in Econometric Analysis of Time Series.这 15 个卓越中心的名称包括细胞与疾病膜泵研究中心（PUMPKIN）、不溶性蛋白质结构研究中心（INSPIN）、DNA 纳米技术研究中心、功能整合神经科学研究中心（CFIN）、大规模数据算法研究中心（MADALGO）、水与盐研究中心，以及时间序列计量分析研究中心（CREATES）。

• In the economics field rankings CREATES is counted among the best econometrics centres and is currently positioned as the second best centre for research in econometric time series analysis, which is why econometrics is one of the disciplines in which the university claims a leading position.在经济学领域排名体系中，时间序列计量分析研究中心（CREATES）被列为最佳计量中心之一，目前位居时间序列计量分析研究的第二位；计量经济学也因此成为学校自认占据领先地位的学科之一。

• The Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center iNANO was founded in 2002 by the professor Flemming Besenbacher, and it offers a nanoscience degree programme whose curriculum covers physics, chemistry, biology, molecular biology, mathematics and computer science, combining a broad interdisciplinary base with depth in a chosen specialisation.跨学科纳米科学中心 iNANO 由 Flemming Besenbacher 教授于 2002 年创立，所设纳米科学学位项目的课程涵盖物理、化学、生物、分子生物、数学与计算机科学，兼顾跨学科的宽广基础与所选专业方向的纵深。

• MINDLAB was established with a grant of 120 million kroner from the Danish Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, and it brings together neuroscientists, psychologists, biologists, statisticians and researchers from other fields to understand the brain, its disorders and its development through physical and social interactions, and the reverse.MINDLAB 由丹麦科学、技术与创新部拨款 1.2 亿丹麦克朗设立，汇聚神经科学家、心理学家、生物学家、统计学家及其他领域的研究者，从物理与社会互动的双向角度研究大脑及其疾病与发育。

• In 2011 the National Environmental Research Institute was moved out of the Danish Ministry of Environment and Energy and merged into the university under the name Danish Centre for Environment and Energy, with a Department of Ecoscience and a Department of Environmental Sciences together with a common secretariat, all placed under the Faculty of Technical Sciences.2011 年，原属丹麦环境与能源部的国家环境研究院并入学校，更名为丹麦环境与能源中心，下设生态科学部与环境科学部及一个共同秘书处，均归属技术科学学院。

• In the same year the Agricultural Research Institute of the Ministry of Agriculture was merged in and became the Danish Centre for Food and Agriculture, organised into the Departments of Agroecology, Animal Sciences and Food Science, and its Global Rust Reference Center provides testing and investigation services for new and difficult cases of wheat stem rust.同年，农业部农业研究院并入学校，组建丹麦食品与农业中心，下设农业生态学、动物科学与食品科学三个系；其全球锈病参考中心为新的与疑难的小麦秆锈病案例提供检测与鉴定服务。

• The university is governed by a board of eleven members, six recruited from outside the university and forming the majority, two appointed by the academic staff, one by the technical and administrative staff and two by the students, while the rector is appointed by the board rather than elected by the academic community, and the faculties have no senate of their own.学校由 11 人校务委员会治理，其中校外成员 6 人构成多数，学术人员推选 2 人、技术与行政人员推选 1 人、学生推选 2 人；校长由委员会任命而非由学术共同体选举产生，各学院本身不设评议会。

• The core degree programmes span agricultural sciences, anthropology, biology, chemistry, Chinese, classical archaeology, cognitive science, computer science, dentistry, economics, engineering, food science, geology, geophysics, law, linguistics, mathematics, medicine, molecular biology, nanotechnology, physics and astronomy, political science, psychology, religious studies, Scandinavian studies, sports science and theology.核心学位专业涵盖农业科学、人类学、生物学、化学、中文、古典考古、认知科学、计算机科学、牙科学、经济学、工程、食品科学、地质学、地球物理学、法学、语言学、数学、医学、分子生物学、纳米技术、天体物理、政治学、心理学、宗教研究、斯堪的纳维亚研究、体育科学与神学。

• The International Centre maintains the university's international partnerships and combines services for exchange students, degree students, PhD candidates and visiting scholars, and since 2011 the AU Summer University has gathered the university's summer courses into a single framework that offered more than eighty courses in the summer of 2011 alone.国际中心统筹学校的国际合作网络，并为交换生、学位生、博士生与访问学者提供综合服务；自 2011 年起，AU 夏季大学把全校暑期课程纳入统一框架，仅 2011 年夏季就开设了 80 余门课程。

• A long case on academic freedom concerned Cheminova, a chemical manufacturer the university had owned since 1944 and which sold the pesticide methyl parathion to farmers in Brazil, when a senior researcher named Mette Jensen asked her colleagues in 2009 whether the company should stop, the university threatened her with dismissal and the pro-vice-chancellor Søren E. Frandsen denied that academic freedom was at stake, and Cheminova was sold to the FMC Corporation for 8.5 billion kroner on 30 April 2015.一场旷日持久的学术自由争议围绕 Cheminova 展开：该校自 1944 年起持有这家化工企业，而它向巴西农户销售甲基对硫磷农药；2009 年高级研究员 Mette Jensen 征询同事该企业是否应停止销售，学校以解聘相威胁，副校长 Søren E. Frandsen 则否认学术自由受到侵害；2015 年 4 月 30 日，该企业以 85 亿丹麦克朗售予 FMC 公司。

• The university operates several museums both on and off the campus, among them Moesgaard Museum, known as MOMU, the Steno Museum, the Ole Rømer Observatory, the Aarhus Botanical Gardens and greenhouses, the Natural History Museum and the Museum of Ancient Art, while archaeology and anthropology have their seat at Moesgård Manor.学校在校区内外运营多座博物馆，包括莫斯高博物馆（MOMU）、斯泰诺博物馆、欧勒·罗默天文台、奥胡斯植物园与温室、自然历史博物馆与古代艺术博物馆；考古学与人类学则以莫斯高庄园为据点。

Campus

• The main campus lies in central Aarhus, where the buildings encircle the University Park, Universitetsparken, the master plan competition was won in 1931 by Kay Fisker, C. F. Møller and Povl Stegmann together with the landscape architect Carl Theodor Sørensen, and construction that began in 1932 has continued ever since, most recently with the Lake Auditoriums, Søauditorierne, in 1999 to 2001 and AU Health in 2014 to 2017.主校区位于奥胡斯市中心，建筑环绕大学公园展开；1931 年的总体规划竞赛由 Kay Fisker、C. F. Møller 与 Povl Stegmann 联合景观设计师 Carl Theodor Sørensen 夺标，1932 年动工后从未间断，近期的湖畔阶梯教室建于 1999 至 2001 年，AU Health 建于 2014 至 2017 年。

• The original Main Building was one of the first Danish functionalist public buildings and has been included in the canon of Danish architecture kept by the Ministry of Culture, which acknowledges it as one of the twelve most significant works in the cultural history of the country, and C. F. Møller Architects has remained the architect of the campus throughout, with the sole exception of the new department of AU Health, designed by Cubo.始建时期的主楼是丹麦最早一批功能主义公共建筑之一，已被文化部列入丹麦建筑名录，并被认定为丹麦文化史上最重要的十二件作品之一；除新建的 AU Health 院区由 Cubo 设计外，校区其余建筑始终由 C. F. Møller Architects 事务所担纲。

• The park and the campus were expanded repeatedly, in 1957 the older Vennelystparken just south of the University Park was incorporated, and the International Centre now stands there as one of the first places a foreign student visits, since it advises on finding housing and on living in Denmark.公园与校区持续扩张，1957 年大学公园以南原有的 Vennelystparken 被纳入校产；位于此处的国际中心是外来学生到访的第一站，为他们提供寻找住房与在丹麦生活的建议。

• Beyond the main campus the university occupies several other sites in Aarhus, a campus on Fuglsangs Alle in the district of Aarhus V that hosts a large part of Aarhus BSS, Nobelparken, built in red brick in 1997 to 2004 with a design language different from the yellow campus, parts of the research park IT-byen at Katrinebjerg where the Department of Computer Science teaches and researches, and the buildings of the former municipal hospital opposite the University Park.主校区之外，学校在奥胡斯城内另有多处校点：奥胡斯 V 区 Fuglsangs Alle 街的校区容纳奥胡斯商社会科学院的大部分；1997 至 2004 年以红砖建成、设计语汇迥异于黄砖主校区的诺贝公园；位于 Katrinebjerg 的 IT 城研究园区，计算机科学系在此教学与研究；以及大学公园对面原市立医院的建筑群。

• The university's presence is not confined to Aarhus, a small campus in the city of Herning teaches a few of its business, engineering and technology programmes through the Department of Business Development and Technology, part of the Danish School of Education is located at Campus Emdrup in Copenhagen, and archaeology and anthropology are housed at Moesgård Manor on the coast.学校的办学足迹并不限于奥胡斯：海宁堡的小校区通过商业发展与技术系开设若干商业、工程与技术专业；哥本哈根 Emdrup 校区设有丹麦教育学院的部分机构；考古学与人类学则设在海岸边的莫斯高庄园。

• Only the Parkkollegierne, whose full name is Kollegierne i Universitetsparken, are located on the campus and run by the university itself, and they are the only dormitories reserved exclusively for its students, whereas most other student housing in the city is administered by the non-profit housing cooperative Kollegiekontoret or offered through the public web platform Ungdomsboliger.dk.唯有园区宿舍（全称 Kollegierne i Universitetsparken）位于校内并由学校直接运营，也是专门面向本校学生的宿舍；奥胡斯城内其余大部分学生住房则由非营利住房合作社 Kollegiekontoret 管理，或通过公共平台 Ungdomsboliger.dk 供应。

• The university maintains a number of libraries, almost every department has its own, and the main one is the State and University Library, whose extensive electronic journal database students and staff can consult either on site or from home, while several departmental libraries open around the clock to anyone holding a student or employee card.学校拥有多座图书馆，几乎每个系都有自己的馆藏；主馆为国家级暨大学图书馆，其庞大的电子期刊数据库供学生与教职工在馆内或在家检索；多座院系图书馆则凭学生证或职工证全天候开放。

• The campus is still being developed, buildings have been added on the park over the decades, and the red brick of Nobelparken together with the new AU Health complex shows that the unified yellow brick key of the 1930s is no longer the only architectural language on the site.校区仍在持续建设之中，数十年来不断在公园周边增建楼宇；诺贝公园的红砖与新建的 AU Health 综合体表明，20 世纪 30 年代确立的统一黄砖语汇已不再是此地唯一的建筑语言。
