North Campus<\/strong><\/p>\n

South Campus<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

North Campus is actually split into three zones: South of Tagensvej<\/em>, medics, dentists and their health science peers reign over the two conjoined Panum and Maersk Tower colossi. North of Tagensvej<\/em>, in the triangle between Jagtvej and N\u00f8rre All\u00e9, most of the natural and life sciences are housed in an architectural patchwork around Universitetsparken<\/em>, the venue every year for the University of Copenhagen (UCPH)’s big annual celebration, the UCPH Festival. At the top of the triangle, there is another dose of health sciences in the form of pharmacy students.<\/p>\n

And we haven\u2019t even mentioned the scandal-ridden Niels Bohr Building<\/a>, which was already supposed to have brought the physical, chemical, and mathematical sciences together back in 2016. After eight years of delays and a budget overspend of more than DKK 3 billion, the infamous building was finally inaugurated in October 2024. According to a student report from the site, the atmosphere in the building allegedly bears the marks of \u00bba tragic backstory, but now with positive vibes\u00ab.<\/p>\n

\n
\nHow to find your way around<\/strong>: At Panum, the buildings are connected by a loooong two-storey hallway and numbered from 1 (the building with the dean\u2019s office on Blegdamsvej) to 33 (the dentists\u2019 building on N\u00f8rre Side All\u00e9) \u2014 with some random numbers skipped along the way. The base of the Maersk Tower is referred to as building 3 in one place and building 13 in another, while the tower itself is called building 7. You\u2019ll get the hang of it.<\/p>\n

In the Tower, students only use the swanky auditoriums and the canteen at the bottom. The tower itself belongs to the researchers, although you can get off the lift on the upper floors and peer in through locked glass doors. But the 15th floor is open to the public, and for god\u2019s sake treat yourself to a trip up there for the view over Copenhagen.<\/p>\n

At the H.C. \u00d8rsted Institute (known as HC\u00d8), the old-school home of the natural sciences, everything branches out from the long hallway. The signage is excellent and accurate \u2014 except when students discover how easy it is to move some of the signs around. It gets VERY hot at HC\u00d8 in summer, hence the Danish nickname \u2018HC-oven\u2019 \u2014 and the security guards get grumpy if you open the fire doors to cool down, so make sure to bring a full water bottle.
\n
\nStudent counselling:<\/strong> North Campus is home to two different faculties: the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences (abbreviated SUND in Danish) and the Faculty of Science (abbreviated SCIENCE in Danish). The Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences has a counselling office at Panum in room 23.1.03 and a satellite office further north in Universityparken<\/em> in building 10. If you\u2019re a Faculty of Science student, you\u2019ll need to head to Frederiksberg Campus if you want in-person guidance.<\/p>\n

\n

North Campus<\/p>\n

Home to around 12,000 students<\/strong> across two faculties, 18 bachelor’s programmes and 30 master’s programmes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Reading rooms:<\/strong> The Department of Mathematical Sciences has a lovely reading room at the H.C. \u00d8rsted Institute (which is in fact a building complex on campus and not an actual scientific institute), and the Copenhagen Biocenter on Ole Maal\u00f8es Vej offers plenty of good study spaces \u2014 but best of all is the library (University of Copenhagen Library North) by Tagensvej with 489 study spaces. At Panum, they\u2019ve set up a beautifully refurbished reading room with sound locks<\/a>. The old reading room is now a theory-only study space with specimen displays in glass cases. And then there\u2019s the lab reading room, which you\u2019ll only get access to if you have an agreement to poke around in organs.<\/p>\n

Canteens:<\/strong> In the Universitetsparken vicinity there are canteens in the H.C. \u00d8rsted Building, and there is the Pharmaceutical Canteen. The HC\u00d8 canteen food offering is okay-ish and it has a limited number of seats (the mathematicians have hogged the best tables) \u2014 but coffee is served before the first lecture. Here, you can get a small meal box for DKK 45, a large one for DKK 55, and if you want meat, that\u2019ll cost you DKK 5 extra. The Biocenter canteen is better \u2014 and has excellent cakes \u2014 but the most beautiful and organic of all is the swanky canteen in the Maersk Tower. If you\u2019re in a rush, rumour has it that its own satellite canteen has the shortest queue (though not without reason). The canteen in the Niels Bohr Building opened in 2024, and the University Post has yet to try it out.<\/p>\n

Coffee:<\/strong> There\u2019s free coffee in the student club at Panum<\/a>, the same goes for mBAR<\/a> \u2014 and also at Cafeen?<\/a>, if you\u2019re a member (which costs about DKK 50 a year). You can also grab coffee for pocket change in most canteens \u2014 or try to charm your way into a research group and sneak a cup from their coffee machine. Speaking of which, researchers in the Maersk Tower have coffee taps. Like water taps. What more could you possibly want?<\/p>\n

Friday bars:<\/strong> The pharmacy students have their beloved freBAR<\/a>, the bio crowd gravitates toward mBAR<\/em> \u2014 which also throws a killer Oktoberfest \u2014 while the science students flock to Cafeen?,<\/em> which stays open until 3 am \u2014 or, until the so-called ‘key holders’ have had enough (so it\u2019s a good idea to buy them a beer or two). At Panum, the popular Student Club Friday Bar opens as early as 11 am (see the full list of student organisations at UCPH here<\/a>). You generally need to be enrolled at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences to get in, but you can sometimes bring a friend \u2014 though not during semester start. If you really want to blend in, order a Shandy PB which is a soft drink\u2013beer mix with four vodka shots in it. It has been off the menu for years \u2014 but it is finally back. Spoiler alert: it hits hard.<\/p>\n

\n
\nDress code:<\/strong> You\u2019ll find all kinds of fashion choices at North Campus \u2014 including the first 400 violations of the fashion police code. As one student put it: \u00bbNo one bats an eye if you look like an idiot\u00ab. The actuarial mathematics students stand out with their corporate wear, the sports science crowd with more athletic gear (with an absurd level of activity to match).<\/p>\n

Hiding spots:<\/strong> Find a quiet patch under a tree in the Universitetsparken. Pusterummet<\/a> \u2014 an award-winning, student-run initiative at Panum \u2014 provides a space for students to relax, including a well-deserved nap after cramming up before something like ‘Anatomy’. Visit the rooms in the old part of Panum, 15.2.05 and 15.2.07, but remember to take off your shoes before entering, and don\u2019t bring in any academic literature.<\/p>\n

Uni-lingo:<\/strong> The H.C. \u00d8rsted Institute (HC\u00d8) becomes the \u2018HC-oven\u2019 when the air conditioning fails. Regulars at Cafeen? call it \u2018home\u2019. And the physicists\u2019 homeroom is called ‘SPACE’ in Danish \u2014 get it?<\/p>\n

Look forward to:<\/strong> The 69-hour bar at Panum on the last weekend of October \u2014 essentially 100 more or less insanely themed bars, overlapping and replacing one another non-stop for three days straight.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in a rush, rumour has it that its own satellite canteen has the shortest queue (though not without reason).
