How is Computer Science structured? 

In the first year, you will build on the knowledge acquired at upper secondary school. The courses provide both a solid foundation in computer science, which you will draw on throughout the remainder of your studies, and an understanding of the interplay between computer science and mathematics. During this first year, you will acquire the fundamental skills necessary to become a computer scientist.

In the second year, you will encounter several key areas of computer science, including computer architecture, cybersecurity, operating systems, data mining, and machine learning.

The third year covers a wide range of computer science subjects and prepares you either to begin your career or to specialise in a chosen research area if you continue on to the Master’s programme in Computer Science.

Master’s opportunities

The bachelor’s degree in Computer Science gives you a legal claim for admission on the master’s programme in Computer Science at SDU.

It also qualifies you for admission on a range of other master’s programmes. The DIVA tool provides an overview of all your options at SDU.

Academic culture in Denmark

Danish academic culture is characterised by active participation in class, group work and critical thinking. Rather than simply accumulating and reproducing knowledge, you will be expected to analyse, question and discuss the course topics.

The relationship between lecturers and students is often rather informal; students and lecturers may find themselves joking together and engaging in vigorous debates during classes and lectures.
