VIBORG

Viborg is a medieval administration city, now the capirtal of the Mid-Jutland region. Viborg is one of the oldest towns in Denmark, with Viking settlements dating back to the 8th century. Due to its central location, the town had great strategic importance, in political and religious matters, during the Middle Ages. A motte-and-bailey type castle was once located in the town. Viborg takes its name from a combination of two words: Wii, meaning a holy place, and berg, meaning a hill. Viborg has over the last decade won a reputation as one of Denmark's leading cities for sports. It started with the city's women's handball team (a popular sport in Denmark), which continues to be one of Europe's top-5 clubs. Subsequently, both the men's handball team and most notably the professional football team have established themselves at the top of the Danish leagues. Viborg is home to a number of educational institutions, including a part of The Danish Business Academy - Campus Viborg. The municipality is very student friendly and guaranties you a place to stay and the local chamber of Commerce and Industry will help you to find a spare time job.
