Overall

SDU is not a good choice, if you want to become a specialist and to be prepared for your future carier. Most of the professors are not good teachers, they do not know how to present the materials. They do not understand that being a good engineer does not make qualified to teach. Materials are presented very superficial, this way the student see how to do it, but does not know why. The education aims to produce "engineers for consumption", which means low costs in human resources and unprofessional staff.

Pros

facilities, equipment, liberty in creating student organization

Cons

Not a good place to become a specialist in engineering

Remember that Denmark is a high-price country. Expenses in nightlife and travel were higher because there were so many possibilities to travel or go out!

Personal comments

You can ask the foreign exchange office beforehand, which books will be needed for the courses and try to get them at home (used or new). Otherwise the books have to be bought from the foreign exchange office and you will have to pay quite a lot of money...

Personal comments

Speaking Danish was not mandatory, as most people in this area speak either English or German. But the school offers Danish classes and I recommend taking them - it helps in shops and in everyday life. And it shows your interest in the host country!
