University Information
The University of Southern Denmark welcomed the first students onto the campus in Odense in September 1966, and things have been developing by leaps and bounds ever since. We now have five faculties with more than 32,000 students, almost 20% of whom are from abroad, and more than 4,000 employees distributed across our main campus in Odense and regional campuses in Slagelse, Kolding, Esbjerg and Sønderborg. Several international studies document that we conduct world-class research and are one of the top fifty young universities in the world.
Over the years, the University of Southern Denmark has interwoven many lives. The roughly five years which a student invests in a university education will lay the groundwork for the rest of his or her life. And with around 115 different study programmes in the fields of the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, health sciences and engineering, graduates of the University of Southern Denmark are now members of virtually every profession in the international community.
Local Information
Odense welcomes you to Hans Christian Andersen’s home town and the capital of Fyn. Odense is full of charming high streets, lots of museums and activities, Odense Zoo, lovely green parks and much more. Hans Christian Andersen was born in Odense and you can still visit the house where he was born, his childhood home and several other landmarks connected with the famous fairy tale writer. We have several museums dedicated to our favorite fairy tale writer. Did you know that he also liked to create paper art?
Odense is also a great city for a city break. Visit the harbour, the Historic Quarter, our Latin Quarter or - for something completely different - Fruens Bøge (a wooded area by the river in the southern part of the city center).
If history is more your thing, we have several museums and attractions each with their own specialty from 18th century village life in Denmark to Viking Age in Odin's Odense and Cold War at the Bunker Museum. For art aficionados Brandt's is a must see. The gallery is located in the Latin Quarter and always hosts several exhibitions at once.
