The curriculum explains how the programme is structured, the necessary courses and exams, and what you learn during your course of study.

In the course description you can read about the course content, including academic goals, teaching and working methods, exams etc. To find the course description, click on the individual course in the overview of the programme structure at the top of the page.

As part of your programme, you can take a project-oriented course with a company or organisation. There are several advantages to doing a project-oriented course. You get to try out what you have learned on your programme in practice; you experience what it is like to solve tasks in a workplace and you get to create a network. Studies show that those very experiences make you a more attractive candidate in the job market.

During your programme, you have the opportunity to study abroad at a foreign university. You can either choose a university that SDU collaborates with, or you can choose to arrange your own stay at another university. SDU collaborates with more than 200 partner universities, and we want to help you find the one that suits you best.

You complete your Master’s degree programme by writing a thesis. The thesis is an independent take-home assignment of 30 ECTS credits, which corresponds to one semester of full-time studies. The thesis allows you to demonstrate your skills in applying scientific theories and methods while working on a defined academic topic of your own choice.
