University of Aarhus, Institute of Business and Technology (AU-IBT) is an educational institution offering study programmes in business economics, international business languages and communication as well as management and engineering at the same institution. Education at a high level and close interaction with the business community combined with research and development generate economic growth and an innovative focus for the benefit of both students and the business community in Central and Western Jutland.

The basis of the study programmes at AU-IBT is strong educational standards, but practical approach is also of great importance. AU-IBT strives to ensure that the students solve tasks and write assignments in cooperation with the business community and to make sure that the education is relevant in relation to the tasks the students will be assigned after obtaining their degrees. Relevance is ensured by tailoring our study programmes to meet the requirements of the business community.

A strong international focus also ensures a high level of knowledge in cultural matters. More than one of the educations offered at AU-IBT are directed towards both Danish and foreign students which means a great deal of the teaching in English.

The institution has more than 1.600 students (about one half is full-time students and the other half part-time students). An informal but professional environment with close interaction with the AU-IBT teaching staff ensures that students feel part of a community.

In 2006 IBT merged with University of Aarhus which led to a higher academic level and an increased focus on research and development. --Mettehorsmark (talk) 15:04, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
