Research opportunities for master exchange students

Join a research group at SDU

At SDU, exchange students at master level are not limited to classroom teaching. You can become part of an active research environment and work alongside researchers on ongoing projects.

  • You must be nominated by your home university
  • You can combine research with one or two courses
  • You will earn ECTS credits depending on the length of your stay
  • All projects must be pre-approved by a professor


"As a master student, I am quite used to lectures; five years of higher education crave for practice! More droplets of theory in a full glass of water do not cause an effect – but being challenged with a research project at SDU is a completely different story.”"

— Nicolas Neubauer, Hamburg University of Applied Sciences
