Unique Master Programme in Chiropractic
The Master programme in chiropractic is the clinical part of the chiropractic programmme at Southern University of Denmark. We attach great importance to diagnostic, skill training, staying at a clinic as well as a scientific thesis. The teaching is organised so the students are being taught by experts in all subjects. The subject ‘Neurology’ is for example being taught by a professor in neurology, while the teaching in the more clinical oriented subjects are handled by experienced chiropractors and/or by medical specialists, of whom many are active researchers.

In addition, the campus in Odense offers a variety of student activities of a both social and academic nature, including, e.g., a film-club, a student congregation, party-political forums, the youth department of the Nordic Association, the 'Friday Bar', and a European Student Network, just to mention a few.
