On your fifth semester you will have the option of studying at a university abroad. You can choose a university that SDU collaborates with, or you can choose to arrange your own stay at another university. SDU collaborates with more than 200 partner universities, and we will gladly help find the right university for you.

You will learn a great deal by studying abroad - not only about what it is like to live and study in another country but also about yourself. Living alone in another country allows you to grow and is an experience for life.

You can choose to take part in a project-based course in a company during the fifth semester of your BSc programme. You can choose the course as an elective, in which the majority of the course takes place in the company.

You will thus learn, what it means to participate in working relationships, get to test your theory in practice, and expand your network, while you are studying.

Your programme concludes with a bachelor project on the sixth semester. The bachelor project is a major assignment, which must be written within a defined topic. You can write it alone or together, with what is normally up to three fellow students, just as you can write it in relation to a company, and thereby connect what you have learned to practical issues.

The rules for your programme are laid down in the programme regulations, which constitute the formal description of your programme.

The programme regulations contain information about the purpose and structure of the programme, including which subject elements it contains, whether there are opportunities for stays abroad, project-oriented courses or the like, rules for conducting teaching and exams, and rules for participation in exams etc.

As a student, you are responsible for keeping yourself informed about the rules that apply to your programme. It is therefore important that you know the regulations for your programme.

A course description is a detailed description of a subject, where you can, for example, read about the purpose of the subject, the content of the subject, including the teaching method(s), the expected workload, and the exam in the subject.

 The programme runs for a period of three years (six semesters), and is set at 180 ECTS. 

At the university, we use ECTS credits for measuring study programmes, and 60 ECTS credits are the equivalent of a full year of study.

Examinations for courses in BSc programmes are typically taken upon their completion, which means that examinations are held during January and June.

Many different methods of assessment are used: Written and oral examinations, take-home assignments, seminars, and projects. A seminar is a teaching method and method of assessment, in which all students in the seminar group must write an assignment. The assignments are then discussed in the seminar group, and the students take turns in defending their own assignments, opposing the assignments of other students, and acting as “general” participants in the discussion.
