History

The college was founded as "Prinds Frederik Ferdinands Tegne- og Søndagsskole" in 1828. Through a series of mergers, the school has since grown to become one of the largest technical colleges in Denmark, with 3800 students (2014). In 2002, the college merged with AMU Østjylland. In 2014, Aarhus Gymnasium, Teknisk Gymnasium Christiansbjerg, and Teknisk Gymnasium Aarhus Midtby merged into Aarhus Tech. Prior to the merger, Teknisk Gymnasium Christiansbjerg (TGC) had offered a three-year technical exam program (HTX) since 1984.
