Student Reviews
Representative reviews"Would do it again"
The programme genuinely lives up to its reputation. The best part: the opportunity to do independent research in the final year is a highlight. If I'm honest, first-year classes can be quite large. On the city โ Copenhagen/Aarhus are consistently ranked some of the world's best student cities. Overall, if you're considering Mechatronics Engineering (MSc) at University of Southern Denmark (SDU), I'd say go for it.
"Would do it again"
I was sceptical before starting โ now I'd recommend it to anyone. The best part: small-group tutorials really push your thinking. If I'm honest, the timetable has some awkward 9am / Friday afternoon slots. On the city โ the flat society makes it easy to approach lecturers and speak up in class. Overall, if you're considering Mechatronics Engineering (MSc) at University of Southern Denmark (SDU), I'd say go for it.
