Student Housing in Sønderborg

Exchange students in Sønderborg are guaranteed housing, while full-degree students must find housing themselves. Learn about your options and start your search early to secure a place.

Housing options

When planning your studies at SDU in Sønderborg, it is important to be aware that housing conditions vary depending on the type of study programme you are enrolled in, as the housing options and application procedures differ between the two groups.

Full-degree students are those who are enrolled in an entire bachelor’s or master’s programme at SDU and plan to complete their full education in Sønderborg. Exchange students are those who come from a university abroad for a limited period (usually one or two semesters) as part of an exchange agreement.

Below, you will find separate information for full-degree and exchange students, as the housing options, application procedures, and level of support differ between the two groups. Please read the section that applies to your situation carefully to ensure you have the best possible start for your stay in Sønderborg.

Exchange students at SDU are guaranteed housing in Sønderborg and can choose between several housing options, including subletting and accommodation at Ungdomskollegiet.

When applying, you may indicate your preferred housing option; however, please note that we cannot guarantee that your first choice will be available.

Subletting

Read about furnished rooms and apartments subletted for one semester by SDU students.

SDU does not provide housing for full-degree students in Sønderborg, and accommodation is therefore not guaranteed. However, several housing options are available.

  • One option is Studiebolig Syd, a housing association offering a range of student residences. Please visit their website for more information and to apply.
  • You may also search on the private housing market, where various websites advertise rooms and apartments, although access to some platforms may require a small fee.
  • In addition, social media groups are often used by students to sublet rooms or find roommates.

When using the private market or social media, please be aware of potential scams. Avoid transferring money to foreign accounts, paying unusually high deposits, or renting accommodation without meeting the landlord. If possible, ask a friend to view the accommodation on your behalf before making any payments.
