Useful info
The Summer School takes place each year in August at the University of Southern Denmark in the city of Odense with support from The Novo Nordisk Foundation.
In 2025 the Summer School will take place from 5 August – 23 August. All teaching will be in-person and in English.
The Summer School gives the participants five ECTS-credits (full course load at a Danish university is 30 ECTS credits per semester).
Hi! My name is Morten, and I am organizing the extracurricular activities, as well as the day to day planning.
Long story short – I am your “ticket” to coffee and food – your contact person for any and all questions of non-academic nature 😉
On this page, I will try to answer all the questions, I myself would have, if I were attending a summer school in a foreign country.
The official programs (Academic and Extracurricular) are updated regularly here. Please remember this link, and check it daily…!

International travels
All students eligible for international travel, mainly flights, will be contacted after post-acceptance registration, and the tickets will be booked by SDU. We will try to accommodate requests to travel at different dates than the beginning and end of the summer school, to give students time to be tourists while here. As a general rule students will be flying to and from Copenhagen, as return tickets are generally cheaper than two single tickets. If requested dates are more expensive than the original dates, students may be asked to come at a different date, and finally at the original dates, if no reasonable alternative can be found.
Visa
It is the responsibility of the students to check with the local Danish Embassy if he/she needs a visa to Denmark. The students need to pay for the VISA themselves.
The enrollment letter from SDU is sufficient as invitation. It is not necessary to have an online invitation letter. Just add the letter of enrollment in your VISA application.
