The University of Greenland ({{lang-kl|Ilisimatusarfik}}; {{lang-da|Grønlands Universitet}}) is Greenland's only university. It is in the capital city of Nuuk. Most courses are taught in Danish, a few in Greenlandic and classes by exchange lecturers often in English.

The university had an enrollment of approximately 650 students in 2015, composed of mostly Greenlandic inhabitants. It has around fourteen academic staff and five technical-administrative employees.[1] The modest student population is due in part to the government's policy allowing students a free university education anywhere in Europe or North America, with most Greenlandic students going to university in Denmark.[2][3]

History

The University of Greenland was established in 1987 to provide local higher education for Greenland. It was originally located in the former Moravian mission station of Neu Herrnhut, and moved into a dedicated research complex, Ilimmarfik, in 2009. The university has a DKK 14.8 million budget. {{Cn|date=May 2016}}

Institutes

The university has four institutes:[4]

  • Institute of Learning
  • Institute of Nursing and Health Science
  • Institute of Social Science, Economics and Journalism
  • Institute of Culture, Language and History

The university awards Baccalaureate degrees in all departments and Master's Degrees in all areas except Theology. Ph.D.-programmes have been offered and at the moment five students are taking the degree.

Rector

Tine Pars became director of Ilisimatusarfik at the beginning of 2009 after the former rector, Ole Marquardt, resigned in protest on the new University Law in December 2007.[5]

Guest faculty

Due to the small number of faculty, many specialized classes are offered by guest faculty, often coming from Danish universities, but also coming from other countries.

Guest faculty at Ilisimatusarfik are often specialists for research on Greenland, combining teaching at Ilisimatusarfik with their research while staying on Greenland.

Library

The university library holds approximately 30,000 volumes.
