Student review [#3021] for Business, Language and Culture
at University of Southern Denmark - SDU

SDU is a good University that strives to become a great University. The potential is there, the public funding as well.
Denmark, in general, is one of the best countries for international students. The state benefits coupled with the quality of the education makes Denmark an ideal destination for foreign students, especially EEA citizens.
Being a Master student at SDU Odense in Business, Language and Culture, I can say that I was content with the overall experience. The lectures were interesting, the material was up to date, the environment was pleasant and the communication with the academic staff was great.
I cannot say that the grading process was very strict nor that the difficulty of the courses was high. Yet, it required some effort, if someone wanted to achieve high grades.
The majority of the students were Danish, which makes socializing a bit difficult. Yet, especially during the last years, more and more international students were enrolled.
On the downside, I have to add that, while in the beginning of my studies I had excellent professors, at the end of my Master’s I experienced that the quality of the teaching staff was getting lower. Many external lecturers arrived with minimum or no prior teaching experience, which led to my altering the selection of some of my courses.
Last but not least, regarding the employment prospects after graduation (when it comes to international graduates from business, marketing, social sciences and humanities) they are not the best. I can say only one thing; LEARN DANISH – or at least try to.
The competition is very high and the companies or organizations prefer that you can, at least, communicate in danish.
