Aarhus Tech offers degrees in 34 disciplines in vocational studies, from masonry and welding to clothing design and cooking. The annual budget is DKK 410 mio. and the school employs 650 people. It is managed as a private institution. The school comprises buildings on three separate sites in Aarhus, but the main campus is located on Christiansbjerg in Business Park Skejby, Aarhus N.[citation needed]
The college was founded as "Prinds Frederik Ferdinands Tegne- og Søndagsskole" in 1828. Through a series of mergers, the school has since grown to become one of the largest technical colleges in Denmark, with 3800 students (2014).[citation needed] In 2002, the college merged with AMU Østjylland.[citation needed]
In 2014, Aarhus Gymnasium, Teknisk Gymnasium Christiansbjerg, and Teknisk Gymnasium Aarhus Midtby merged into Aarhus Tech.[2][3] Prior to the merger, Teknisk Gymnasium Christiansbjerg (TGC) had offered a three-year technical exam program (HTX) since 1984. Aarhus Tech, originally established in 1828 as "Prins Frederik Ferdinands Tegne- og Søndagsskole," has grown into one of Denmark's largest technical schools, offering a broad spectrum of educational programs. These include 30 vocational programs, 17 EUX courses, and four gymnasium-level courses. In 2018, the institution merged with Langkaer Gymnasium, resulting in the creation of "Aarhus Gymnasium, Tilst." Today, under the leadership of Annette E. Lauridsen, Aarhus Tech serves approximately 3,600 students each year and has a workforce of 555 employees. Its facilities are located across various parts of Aarhus, focusing on disciplines ranging from construction trades to creative fields like fashion and culinary arts.
