In many prestigious positioning arrangements of the world's best colleges, Aarhus University is put in the main 100. The college fits in with the Coimbra Group of European universities.

Denmark's first teacher of humanism was an individual from the workforce of Aarhus University (Theodor Geiger, from 1938–1952), and in 1997 Professor Jens Christian Skou got the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his disclosure of the sodium-potassium pump. In 2010 Dale T. Mortensen, a Niels Bohr Visiting Professor at Aarhus University, got the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences together with his associates Peter Diamond and Christopher Pissarides.

Aarhus University was established on 11 September 1928 as Universitetsundervisningen i Jylland ("University Studies in Jutland") with a financial plan of 33,000 Dkr and an enlistment of 64 understudies, which rose to 78 amid the first semester. The college was established as a reaction to the expanding number of understudies at the University of Copenhagen after World War I. Classrooms were leased from the Technical College and the showing corps comprised of one teacher of logic and four partner teachers of Danish, English, German and French. Alongside Universitets-Samvirket ("The University Association") which comprised of delegates of Aarhus' organizations, associations and foundations, the region of Aarhus had battled subsequent to 1921 to have Denmark's next college situated in the city.

In 1929, the district of Aarhus gave the college land with a scene of moving hills. The outline of the college structures and 12 ha grounds region was doled out to planners C. F. Møller, Kay Fisker and Povl Stegmann, who won the design rivalry in 1931. The principal structures housed the Departments of Chemistry, Physics and Anatomy and were opened on 11 September 1933, that year the name Aarhus University was initially utilized. The development of the structures was subsidized singularly by gifts which totaled 935,000 Dkr and the structures secured a range of 4,190m2. One of the most liberal givers was De Forenede Teglværker i Aarhus ("The United Tileworks of Aarhus") drove by chief K. Nymark. Forenede Teglværker chose to give 1 million yellow blocks and tiles worth c. 50,000 Dkr and later chose to extend the gift to everything blocks needed to build the building.

The initiation was commended in a tent on grounds and went to by King Christian X, Queen Alexandrine, their child Crown Prince Frederick and Prime Minister Stauning together with 1000 other welcomed guests.  On 23 April 1934, Aarhus University was offered authorization to hold examinations by the lord and on 10 October 1935, Professor Dr. phil. Ernst Frandsen was delegated the first minister of the university. Since 1939, C. F. Møller Architects has been in charge of building exercises of the college which today has a floor region of 246,000m2 in the University Park alone and a progression of structures outside the Park with an aggregate floor range of 59,000m2.

From 1928, Aarhus University offered courses in dialects and theory, yet the understudies were not able to complete their studies without setting off to the University of Copenhagen for their last examinations. In response to popular demand of the Ministry of Education, the Teachers' Association made a draft of how to direct the last examinations in the humanistic subjects in Aarhus and in the draft, the Association recommended that the staff was named the Faculty of Humanities by similarity with the comparing resources in Uppsala, Lund and Turku. After arrangements between the resources in Aarhus and Copenhagen, the King proclaimed on 8 May 1935 that the last college examinations could be held at the Faculty of Philosophy in Copenhagen and additionally at the Faculty of Humanities in Aarhus. This was the first last examinations Aarhus University was permitted to hold, however on 24 July 1936 the lord conceded the Faculty of Humanities the privilege to hold examinations for the magister degree and in 1940 for the PhD.

Aarhus University had offered courses in fundamental restorative subjects from 1933 and on 10 October 1935 the Faculty of Medicine was formally established.  The foundation of a Faculty of Medicine in Aarhus was met with some restriction from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Copenhagen. The educators imagined that the state ought not create another Faculty until the deficiencies of the old one had been unraveled. At last, the educators consented to sign a suggestion for the new Faculty the length of enhancements to the old one were not delayed.  By 1953, the Faculty of Medicine had been completely fabricated, complete with addresses, residency seats, end of the year tests, research offices and the doctor's facilities of Aarhus had been extended to meet the requests of clinical training.  In 1992, the Faculty of Medicine converged with the dental school and transformed its name to Faculty of Health Sciences.

The college made its Faculty of Economics and Law in 1936, however when it offered courses in political science and in brain research (1959 and 1968, individually), the staff transformed its name to the Faculty of Social Sciences. The personnel must be supported singularly on private gifts and once the college exhibited it had the required money related means, the Minister of Education prescribed the Finance Committee to support the foundation of the workforce on 27 January 1936 since the state did not need to allow budgetary backing. The Committee affirmed and by affirmation of the ruler on 5 November 1937, the workforce could hold examinations in financial matters and law.

Courses had been offered in religious philosophy since 1932 at the Faculty of Humanities, however in 1942 the Faculty of Theology was formally established.  Already on 22 June 1928, Reverend Balslev of Aarhus had recommended that Universitetsundervisningen i Aarhus (not yet college) taught fundamental courses in philosophy. Despite the fact that the proposition was welcomed by the administration, the Faculty of Theology in Copenhagen brought up that it would take 3 full-time instructors of the New Testament, Old Testament and religious history, separately and in addition instruction in Latin, Greek and Hebrew by the Faculty of Humanities. Right now, Universitetsundervisningen i Aarhus did not have the budgetary intends to meet these criteria so the case was retired until further notice. In April 1931, the case revived, this time by Bishop Skat Hoffmeyer who proposed free instructing in the obliged subjects. The administration asked the workforce in Copenhagen if this was adequate, but since the educating was free, the staff saw it as coaching as opposed to real showing and they neither affirmed or refuted of such a methodology however they didn't see it as genuine college instructing. The region of Aarhus did not help with trusts and the administration esteemed an appeal of the state to be pointless so they chose to dismissal getting the showing affirmed and begin it at any rate under the supervision of Skat Hoffmeyer. On 5 September 1932 Reverend Asmund held the first address in philosophy. This private schooling in philosophy proceeded until the college could contract its own teachers in 1938, and in 1942 Aarhus University could finally build the Faculty of Theology.

Aarhus University's fundamental grounds is situated in focal Aarhus.

The grounds ground breaking strategy rivalry was won in 1931 by the synergistic plan of Danish designers Kay Fisker, C. F. Møller and Povl Stegmann as a team with scene designer Carl Theodor Sørensen. The outline incorporates a wide assortment of structures over a huge space, however every building is made out of the same yellow block and material tile, giving the entire grounds a brought together look. Development started in 1932 and has proceeded into the 21st century. The first primary building was one of the first Danish functionalist open structures and has been incorporated in the Ministry of Culture's standard of Danish structural planning; it is recognized as one of the twelve most important design lives up to expectations in the social history of Denmark. C. F. Møller and his organization, C. F. Møller Architects have proceeded as engineers of the grounds ever since. The fundamental structures of the college are put in and around a wonderful sloping scene -Universitetsparken, The University Park, which has been extended as the years progressed. In a consonant interaction with the bumpy park, the yellow structures frame a lovely grounds which has gotten universal acknowledgments.
