Niels Bohr’s model of the atom revolutionized physics when it was published in 1913. The model was the first consistent description of how electrons contributed to constitute matter.

Denmark has been chosen to be host country for the Physics Olympiad in 2013. Around 400 students from 90 countries will be participating in the international competition, which takes place in Copenhagen.

Hear what international students have to say about the university, and see why you should study at University of Copenhagen.
