University of Greenland
The University of Greenland (Kalaallisut: Ilisimatusarfik) is a university located in Nuuk, Greenland. Most courses are taught in Danish and a few in Greenlandic. As of 2007, the university had approximately 150 students, almost all local inhabitants, and around 14 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.[2] Ilisimatusarfik is located in the historical Herrnhut mission station, but is scheduled to move into a new research complex called Ilimmarfik in 2009. The university has a DKK 14.8 million budget.
