South Campus is located near the Islands Brygge metro station on Amager only a few metro stations from Kongens Nytorv and Rådhuspladsen (city hall square), which are the hearts of Copenhagen’s historical and social life.

As a student, you can freely access the facilities throughout the campus area. Apart from having access to a range of student facilities such as study places, wireless network, library, canteen and café, students at CAS can easily get involved in a variety of social activities and events, like being part of the Faculty’s amazing football team (anyone is welcome to join!)

Furthermore, students at CAS are encouraged to organise overnight trips, guided tours of exhibitions, theatre visits, dinners, events in the student café, and much more.

Students are always welcome to contact the Social mentor or the Student Counsellor with ideas for social activities.
