The BA in Modern Languages and Intercultural Communication is located at Alsion, SDU’s campus in Sønderborg. Alsion is our university’s most international campus with students and staff from all over the world. You will hear a huge variety of languages spoken every day – most prominent in this mix are, however, English, Danish and German. The great advantage for the students in our programme is that German, Danish and English are not restricted to the classroom but are a natural means of communication outside the classroom as well. You’ll find it difficult to escape improving your foreign language skills!
SDU at Sønderborg features
- a friendly and supportive learning environment,
- excellent library and IT facilities for students,
- a beautiful location right on the waterfront,
- short commutes, which leaves you more time for studying (and leisure).
- a small but very lively student community.
Teaching and learning
In addition to traditional classroom teaching and project work, the programme regularly features guest lectures by internationally renowned researchers in the programme’s subject areas as well as by representatives of Danish and German businesses.
Teaching and lecturing takes place in the languages Danish, German and English.
As an undergraduate full-time student you have an average of 12 hours of classes per week. You will need at least another 15 to 25 hours per week to prepare for the classes and to complete assignments. It is useful to get together with other students to form study groups right from the start.
