The University of Southern Denmark (SDU) is in Odense, Denmark. SDU was founded in 1966 and has currently more than 26,700 students and 3,900 employees. SDU is well known for developing the world’s first fully automated arthritis scanning robot with the Odense University Hospital. In addition, Odense, where SDU is located, is well known as the birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen, so you can feel the life of Andersen who left a lot of literary works such as Nightingale, The Snow Queen, The Ugly Duckling, etc. Furthermore, Odense is a city that has developed in the field of culture and arts. So, you can visit various museums or zoos like Carl Nielsen Museum, Odense Railway Museum, Funen Village, and Odense Zoo, etc. 

 

SDU provides more than 50 majors across 5 academic faculties: Humanities, Science, Business and Social Sciences, Health Sciences, and Engineering.
