Everything under one roof
The University of Southern Denmark in Odense is SDU’s largest campus and offers a huge selection of programmes and research areas gathered under one roof. It provides the perfect framework for interdisciplinary research, teaching and innovation at international level across the University’s five faculties, together with the surrounding community.
Modern – with strong roots
Since it was founded in 1966, the University of Southern Denmark has endeavoured to be a modern and socially relevant university.
We have firm roots in strong research traditions and scientific virtues and step into the future with groundbreaking research and innovative solutions.
A particularly notable innovation is SDU Odense’s physical connection with the newly built Odense University Hospital, which emphasises the unique collaboration on health technology, innovation, health research and new treatment methods for the benefit of Danish patients and the Danish healthcare system.
