Description : Aarhus is the happiest city in one of the happiest countries in the world. It is Denmark’s second largest city, located on the coast of the country’s main peninsula, with a long history and Viking origins. Denmark is a country with a high quality of living and social equality and an appreciation for the little things that make life sweet - the untranslatable Danish "hygge." It is known as one of the world's most livable countries and the least corrupt country in the world. Aarhus University (AU) is a top 100 university in world rankings with over sixty complete degrees in English at undergraduate and graduate levels, while Denmark overall is friendly to English speakers. The study environment of AU is concentrated around an attractive campus in the center of the city. The wide range of on campus facilities for students as well as the abundance of social and academic activities contributes to the unique study environment at AU. UNO sends and receives students from Aarhus University through the MAUI-Utrecht Consortium, which was established in 1998 with UNO as a member institution.

Description : The University of Fribourg is inextricably part of the city of Fribourg, a primarily French-speaking medieval city and student city. German is also widely spoken in Fribourg, making it a truly bilingual place to live. It is also a comparatively inexpensive Swiss city. UNO students get to know Switzerland's unique history, from its historical 'neutral' status to the United Nations office in Geneva to it’s natural beauty, from Lake Maggiore to Dufourspitze, the highest peak in the Swiss alps. Students can spend a semester or year on exchange in Switzerland studying in either German or French at the University of Fribourg. The relationship between UNO’s English Department and University of Fribourg’s English Department is strong, and those studying linguistics and English literature can take numerous interesting courses at Fribourg.
