Aarhus University

Only a few select students become enrolled and can attend lectures at the top universities in the world, where either very good grades or very good connections are required. However, a Danish student from the University of Aarhus has set about to change that so everybody can attend lectures from all over the world – via the computer.

Jakob Sandvad is the student behind Public University Online - a kind of Youtube for lectures, where you can up- and download links to lectures made public on their university homepages.

There are already more than thousand lectures online and although the majority are in arts and philosophy related areas, there are already many science lectures online.
