Classic and innovative

The University of Southern Denmark was established in Esbjerg in 1999, and from the beginning we have been committed to being a university that contributes to the development of society with the highest degree of knowledge and world-class quality.

As a university, we are deeply rooted in strong research traditions and classic academic virtues coupled with our special ability to develop, invent and translate knowledge in interaction with professional practice-orientated reality.

SDU Esbjerg is well known for its close collaboration with local and regional companies and institutions, which ensures that SDU’s education programmes and research are practice-orientated and directly relevant to the labour market. The unique linking of theory and practice strengthens the ability of our students to think innovatively and solve the challenges of the future quickly and efficiently after graduation.
