SELS Aarhus on Criminal Justice
ELSA Aarhus is proud to host its 5th edition of Summer ELSA Law School on Criminal Justice, taking place from July 27 - August 3, 2025. We look forward to welcoming the participants to Aarhus – the cultural heart of Jutland and Denmark’s second-largest city. Named the European Capital of Culture in 2017, Aarhus boasts a vibrant academic and social atmosphere, making it the perfect setting for a SELS.
Our SELS will feature engaging lectures by experts in Criminal Law, covering various aspects of the field. These lectures will provide a general introduction to key subtopics while incorporating real-life cases from the speakers’ professional experiences. In addition, the participants will take part in interactive workshops, allowing them to immerse themselves in discussions on contemporary legal challenges and apply their newfound knowledge. This will also give an insight into future career possibilities after university and how Criminal Law can become a part of your future work life!
Beyond the classroom, ELSA Aarhus is committed to providing an unforgettable experience. Aarhusians take great pride in their city’s rich history and lively culture, and we want to share this with you! Our carefully curated social programme will give you the chance to connect with fellow participants while exploring some of Aarhus’ most iconic landmarks. From the breathtaking rainbow panorama at the ARoS Art Museum to the cobbled streets of Den Gamle By (The Old Town), you will enjoy a mix of cultural and social activities throughout the week. In addition, we have planned a variety of on- and off-campus activities, giving you the chance to discover Aarhus’ beautiful university setting and scenic parks while ensuring you feel right at home. And since you will be coming to Denmark, you can expect plenty of “hygge” throughout the entire week.
We hope the combination of our enriching academic progamme and exciting social programme makes your experience at our SELS truly unforgettable.
