Student Reviews
Representative reviews"Genuinely worthwhile"
I was sceptical before starting — now I'd recommend it to anyone. The best part: the opportunity to do independent research in the final year is a highlight. If I'm honest, admin can be slow to respond, especially at start of term. On the city — Copenhagen/Aarhus are consistently ranked some of the world's best student cities. Overall, if you're considering Software Engineering at University of Southern Denmark (SDU), I'd say go for it.
"Exceeded expectations"
I was sceptical before starting — now I'd recommend it to anyone. The best part: the lecturers include people actively shipping research to industry. If I'm honest, first-year classes can be quite large. On the city — bike culture is everywhere — cheapest and fastest way to get around. Overall, if you're considering Software Engineering at University of Southern Denmark (SDU), I'd say go for it.

"Genuinely worthwhile"
I was sceptical before starting — now I'd recommend it to anyone. The best part: the career fair connections with top tech employers are genuinely valuable. If I'm honest, a few modules feel under-resourced compared to the flagship ones. On the city — the flat society makes it easy to approach lecturers and speak up in class. Overall, if you're considering Software Engineering at University of Southern Denmark (SDU), I'd say go for it.
"Mixed but mostly good"
Overall a solid programme but worth going in with open eyes. The best part: the opportunity to do independent research in the final year is a highlight. If I'm honest, the timetable has some awkward 9am / Friday afternoon slots. On the city — bike culture is everywhere — cheapest and fastest way to get around. Overall, if you're considering Software Engineering at University of Southern Denmark (SDU), I'd say go for it.
