The University of Greenland (Greenlandic: Ilisimatusarfik Kalaallit Nunaat; Danish: Grønlands Universitet) is Greenland's only university. It is in the capital city of Nuuk. Most courses are taught in Danish, a few in Greenlandic and classes by exchange lecturers often in English.
The university had an enrollment of 205 students in 2018,[1] composed of mostly Greenlandic inhabitants. It has around fourteen academic staff and five technical-administrative employees.[2] The modest student population is due, in part, to most Greenlandic students going to universities in Denmark.[3][4]
