3 9 10 11 13 25 27 29 Praktiske bemærkninger (English translation follows below) På de følgende sider kan du læse om hvilke muligheder, du har for at komme til udlandet samt hvordan, du bærer dig ad med at søge en udvekslingsplads. Læs venligst disse sider, før du går i gang med at lave din ansøgning. Studieophold i udlandet – dine muligheder Der findes flere muligheder for at tage et studieophold i udlandet – alt efter dine ønsker, behov og økonomi. Den mest oplagte mulighed for at komme til udlandet er gennem udvekslingsaftaler. Udveksling betyder, at to universiteter vælger at ”bytte” studerende for en kortere periode og dermed ikke opkræver undervisningsafgift for hinandens stude‐
rende. Du har selvfølgelig også mulighed for selv at arrangere dit ophold udenom sådanne programmer, men i så fald skal du være opmærksom på, at du skal finansiere evt. undervisningsafgifter selv. ► Oversøiske studieophold
Såfremt du ønsker at læse udenfor Europa, har du mulighed for at søge en af vores oversøiske pladser. Får du en oversøisk udvekslingsplads gennem SDU, modtager du et rejsestipendium fra universitetets in‐
ternationaliseringspulje. Vær opmærksom på, at de fleste oversøiske pladser fordeles til ansøgningsrun‐
den 1. november. Du vil derfor kun kunne finde enkelte restpladser ved 1. marts runden. Disse annonce‐
res særskilt på hjemmesiden. Ved nogle oversøiske aftaler står der i bemærkningerne, at ’Study Abroad’ er en mulighed. Dette bety‐
der, at SDU studerende kan få rabat, hvis de vælger at læse ved universitetet som betalende gæstestu‐
derende. Study Abroad kan være en mulighed, hvis du ikke kunne få den ’gratis’ udvekslingsplads men er villig til at betale for at komme til det pågældende sted. ► Nordiske studieophold
De nordiske lande har et tæt uddannelsessamarbejde og der findes mange muligheder for udveksling under det såkaldte Nordplus program. Nordplus er en form for paraplynetværk, der indeholder en ræk‐
ke små fagspecifikke netværk. Bagerst i kompendiet kan du se hvilke netværk, SDU deltager i. Der følger også et stipendium med til studerende, der rejser indenfor Nordplus programmet. ► Selvarrangerede ophold
Har du et ønske om at læse i et bestemt land eller på et bestemt universitet i udlandet, som SDU ikke samarbejder med, har du mulighed for at selv at arrangere et studieophold til det pågældende sted. I så fald er du ikke udvekslingsstuderende, og du skal selv sørge for kontakt, ansøgning og optagelse på det pågældende sted. Desuden skal du være opmærksom på, at du højest sandsynligt skal betale undervis‐
ningsafgift til værtsuniversitetet. Hvis du modtager SU, kan du til dækning af undervisningsafgifter søge om tilskud gennem udlandsstipendieordningen. Hvis ikke du får udlandsstipendium, kan du ansøge om et mindre rejsestipendium fra Internationaliseringspuljen. Nogle af vores samarbejdspartnere giver ra‐
bat til SDU studerende på selvarrangerede ophold. Disse er nævnt under afsnittet ’study abroad’. Hvis du laver et selvarrangeret ophold (mod betaling) ved et af de universiteter, som SDU samarbejder med (og som ikke er nævnt under Særlig Aftaler), så husk alligevel at oplyse, at du kommer fra SDU. Måske kan det give fordele/rabat, selvom vi ikke pt. er bekendt med det. Praktikophold i udlandet – dine muligheder Flere og flere studerende vælger også at tage på praktik i udlandet, enten som en obligatorisk del af deres uddannelse eller som erstatning for et valgfag. Et praktikophold i udlandet er en god mulighed for både at få erhvervserfaring og opbygge internationale kompetencer. Såfremt du får merit for opholdet, har du mulighed for at søge om økonomisk støtte gennem Internationale Relationer på SDU. ► Praktikophold
Tager du i praktik i udlandet udenom Erasmus+ programmet (fx på en ambassade), kan du søge et rejse‐
stipendium fra universitetets internationaliseringspulje (se bagerst i hæftet), såfremt opholdet er for‐
håndsgodkendt. Sådan bruger du dette hæfte Listen over studiepladser i udlandet er fordelt på land og partner universitet. 3
► Målgruppe
Umiddelbart under partnerinstitutionen kan du se, hvilke studieretninger (målgrupper), udvekslings‐
pladsen er rettet mod. Nogle steder er målgruppen defineret som et helt fakultet, i andre tilfælde er studiepladsen forbeholdt en mere snæver kreds af studerende. Dette betyder ikke nødvendigvis, at stu‐
derende fra andre retninger ikke må søge pladsen, men du skal i så fald vælge fag, der ligger indenfor målgruppens fagområde. Studerende indenfor den nævnte målgruppe har dog altid førsteret til pladsen. ► Antal pladser, varighed og niveau
I den efterfølgende kolonne kan du se antallet og varigheden af de studiepladser der udbydes. I langt de fleste tilfælde er varigheden 1 semester, men nogle gange kan der godt stå ’helt akademisk år’. Dette betyder ofte, at det både er muligt at læse et helt år eller kun et semester, men det er i sidste instans varigheden af kurserne, der er afgørende. Vær opmærksom på, at semestrene ikke nødvendigvis følger de samme datoer som på SDU. I nogle lan‐
de begynder forårssemestret allerede i januar, hvilket kan være et problem, hvis du skal tage eksamener på SDU. Du kan ikke regne med at kunne ankomme senere end semesterstart, så det er vigtigt, at du undersøger, hvornår semestret begynder, før du søger ud i foråret. Bemærk også, at pladserne er mærket ”graduate” eller ”undergraduate”. Hvis du læser på bachelorni‐
veau, kan du således kun søge pladser, der er markeret som "undergraduate", og hvis du læser på kan‐
didatniveau, skal du primært kigge efter ’graduate’ pladser. Ved oversøiske studieophold på kandidatni‐
veau skal du være opmærksom på, at nogle universiteter i f.eks. USA, Canada og Australien kræver, at du har gennemført din BA allerede på ansøgningstidspunktet, og ikke blot forventer at gøre det kort før det semester, du planlægger at rejse ud. Kontakt venligst Internationale Relationer på SDU for at få me‐
re at vide herom. ► Undervisningssprog og øvrige bemærkninger
De fleste universiteter udbyder i dag undervisning på engelsk, men det er vigtigt, at du undersøger det mere præcist på universitetets hjemmeside. Ansøgningsproceduren – sådan gør du Ofte kan det være en lang og træg proces at komme til udlandet, men så snart eventyret begynder, glemmer de fleste alt om besværet indtil da. Selvom der er tale om studiepladser, er det stadigvæk dig som studerende, der skal tage initiativ og sørge for, at udlandsopholdet bliver bragt i stand. Nedenfor kan du læse, hvordan du skal bære dig ad skridt for skridt. ► Forbered dig grundigt
Brug dette hæfte til at undersøge, dine muligheder i forhold til dit studie, dine sprogkundskaber og rej‐
selyst. Gå derefter på jagt efter flere oplysninger om de universiteter, du kan sætte kryds ved. Brug uni‐
versiteternes hjemmesider til at finde information om fag og undervisningssprog (find links på vores hjemmeside), og kom forbi Internationale Relationer for at låne brochurer eller opholdsrapporter fra de respektive steder. Vores erfaring viser, at det sværeste skridt på vejen er at finde fag, så det er vigtigt, at du er grundig, når du søger informationer. Vær dog opmærksom på, at du muligvis ikke kan finde fag for det kommende semester endnu – men her må du forsøge at bruge oplysninger fra tidligere semestres fagudbud. ► Ansøg om studiepladsen
Når du har fundet universitetet du gerne vil på udveksling til, skal du udfylde vores ansøgningsskema til studieophold i udlandet, som du finder på vores hjemmeside. Ansøgningsskemaet er en formular, som skal udfyldes på computer i et online ansøgningsmodul. Såfremt du laver et selvarrangeret ophold eller en ansøgning til et praktikophold, skal du benytte de re‐
levante ansøgningsskemaer fra vores hjemmeside og følge vejledningerne. 4
► Afvent svar fra os
Når vores ansøgningsfrist udløber, går vi i gang med at behandle alle de indkomne ansøgninger. Er der flere ansøgere til samme udvekslingsplads, prioriterer vi i forhold til kriterier vedtaget af de enkelte fa‐
kulteter. I første omgang er det karaktersnittet, der afgør hvem, der kan få pladsen. Vær også opmærk‐
som på, at værtsinstitutionen kan kræve et bestemt karaktersnit, for at du kan få pladsen. Andre fakto‐
rer kan også spille ind, såsom beståede eksaminer og særskilte krav fra studienævn. I nogle tilfælde fremgår det, at pladserne skal fordeles på en bestemt måde mellem de enkelte fakulteter. Som regel er det muligt at udvise fleksibilitet i fordelingen af pladser, således at flest mulige ansøgere opnår en ud‐
vekslingsplads. Vi skriver herefter ud til alle ansøgere og informerer om fordelingen af pladser og beder dig bekræfte, at du stadig er interesseret i at få pladsen. Desuden skriver vi ud til de ansøgere, der har søgt om stipendie til et selvarrangeret ophold. ► Opstil et studieprogram
Hvis du er blevet nomineret til en studieplads, skal du i gang med at opstille et studieprogram. Det gæl‐
der om at finde information om de fag, du ønsker at læse på værtsuniversitetet (niveau, indhold, ECTS/credits) og dernæst opstille dem som et studieprogram, der kan erstatte en række fag, du skulle have taget på SDU. Vær dog opmærksom på, at du muligvis ikke kan finde fag for det kommende seme‐
ster endnu – men her må du forsøge at bruge oplysninger fra tidligere semestres fagudbud. Det kan i den forbindelse være en god idé at tage en faglig vejleder med på råd. ► Ansøg om forhåndsgodkendelse hos dit studienævn
Når du er blevet tildelt en studieplads i udlandet, skal du ansøge om at få dit studieprogram forhånds‐
godkendt af dit studienævn. Procedurerne hos de enkelte studienævn kan variere, men generelt skal du sende dit studieprogram med tilhørende kursusbeskrivelser, som så vurderes af studienævnet. ► Søg om optagelse på værtsuniversitetet
Når du har fået din forhåndsgodkendelse er du klar til at søge om optagelse på værtsuniversitetet. In‐
ternationale Relationer på SDU har nomineret dig til pladsen på det udenlandske universitet, hvorefter du som regel vil få tilsendt information om optagelsesproceduren via email direkte fra værtsuniversite‐
tet. Det er vigtigt, at du er opmærksom på den gældende ansøgningsfrist. Såfremt du ikke hører noget indenfor et par måneder, skal du tage kontakt til Internationale Relationer. Du bør desuden selv holde dig orienteret om ansøgningsproceduren på værtsuniversitetets hjemmeside. Den endelige bekræftelse på pladsen skal altid komme fra værtsinstitutionen, efter du har søgt om optagelse hertil ‐ det er altså ikke tilstrækkeligt alene af få tildelt pladsen fra os. Når du ansøger om en udvekslingsplads, ansøger du automatisk om et stipendie hertil gennem Interna‐
tionaliseringspuljen. Vi vil senere i forløbet sende dig en bevillingsmail med angivelse af, hvor meget du er blevet tildelt. Yderligere information? Har du spørgsmål i forbindelse med ansøgningen eller vedrørende studiepladser, er du altid velkommen til at kontakte os. Du kan også finde flere oplysninger om ophold i udlandet på vores hjemmeside: www.sdu.dk/detinternationalekontor 5
Practical information On the following pages, you can read about your possibilities for going abroad, and how to apply for an exchange place. Please read these pages before you make your application. Studying abroad – your possibilities There are many opportunities for studying abroad – dependent upon your wishes, needs and economic situation. The immediate opportunity for going abroad is through exchange agreements. Exchanges imply that two universities opt to swap students for a short period and thus do not charge each other’s students tuition fees. Of course, you also have the possibility to arrange your stay outside the framework of exchange programmes. However, in that case you will have to pay the tuition fees to the host institution yourself. ► Overseas exchange
If you want to study outside Europe, you can apply for one of our overseas places. If you are nominated for overseas exchange, you will receive a travel grant from the university’s Internationalization Fund. Please note that most overseas exchange places are awarded in the application round of 1 November. Therefore, you will only find a few remaining places in the round of 1 March. These are announced sep‐
arately on our web page. Along certain overseas agreements, the possibility of ‘Study Abroad’ is mentioned. This entails that SDU students are eligible for a discount if they choose to study at that university as a fee‐paying guest stu‐
dent. ‘Study Abroad’ might be a possibility if you do not get the ‘free’ exchange place but are willing to pay to attend a particular university. ► Nordic exchange
The Nordic countries cooperate closely within education, and there are many possibilities for exchange within the so‐called Nordplus programme. Nordplus is an umbrella network for a number of small sub‐
ject‐oriented networks. In the back of this booklet, you can see the networks that SDU takes part in. Students who study within the Nordplus framework are provided with a travel grant. ► Individually arranged stays
If you want to study in a particular country or university with which SDU does not cooperate, you can ar‐
range a study abroad period yourself. In that case, you are not considered an exchange student, and you must take care of contact, application and enrolment to the particular university yourself. In addition, you should note that you most likely would have to pay tuition fees to that university. If you receive SU, you can apply for funds through the ‘udlandsstipendieordning’ to cover your tuition fees. If you are not eligible for ‘udlandsstipendie’, you can apply for a grant from the Internationalization Fund. Some of our overseas partners offer a discount to SDU students on individually arranged stays. These are listet in the section ‘study abroad’. If you are planning an individually arranged stay at one of our partner universities not listed in the ‘study abroad’ section, please remember to point out that you are from SDU. Maybe you will be entitled to a discount that we are not familiar with. Internships abroad – your possibilities More and more students opt to do an internship abroad, either as a mandatory part of their studies or to replace an elective. An internship in another country is a good chance for you to get both work experience and international quali‐
fications at the same time. If you get credits for your internship, you can apply for a grant through the International Office. ► Internships / traineeships
If you choose to do an internship from outside the framework of Erasmus+ (e.g. at an embassy), you can apply for a travel grant from the university’s Internationalization Fund (see later in this booklet). The in‐
ternship must be pre‐approved by your study board. How to use this booklet The list of exchange places abroad is primarily sorted by country and then university. 6
► Area of study
Just below the partner institution, you can see the type of degrees for which the exchange place is suit‐
ed. With certain places, the target group is all areas of study at a particular faculty, but often the place is intended for specific areas of study. This does not necessarily imply that students of other kinds of de‐
grees cannot apply for the place. If so, you must choose subjects within the given area, however. Stu‐
dents from the mentioned area of study have first priority to the exchange place. ► Number of places, duration and level
In the next column you can see the number and duration of the study places that are offered. In most cases, the duration is one semester, but sometimes it might say ‘full academic year’. Typically this means that both a single semester and a full academic year is possible. In the end, the duration of the courses at the partner university is decisive. Be aware that the semesters abroad do not necessarily follow the same dates as SDU. In some countries the spring semester begins already in January, and this might be a problem if you have to take exams at SDU. You cannot expect to be able to arrive after the semester begins, so it is important that you check when the semester begins before you apply for a study place in the spring. Please note that the places are marked ‘graduate’ or ‘undergraduate’. If you are studying at bachelor’s level at SDU, you can only apply for places that are marked ‘undergraduate’. If you are studying at mas‐
ter’s level, you should look primarily for ‘graduate’ places. In case you apply for overseas exchange at graduate level, you have to be aware that some universities in e.g. the United States, Canada and Aus‐
tralia require that you have already passed your BA when you apply. These universities are not able to admit you if you earn your BA just prior to beginning your stay abroad. For more information about this, please contact the International Office. ► Language of instruction and other comments
If nothing is mentioned, you can assume that the language of instruction is the mother tongue of the country in question. However, most universities today offer courses in English, so we will strongly advise you to check the university’s homepage for further information. Application procedure – how to do it Often it can be a quite long and dilatory process to go abroad, but as soon as the adventure begins, most students forget about all the previous troubles. Even though the exchange places are offered by SDU, you are still the one to take initiative and make sure that the exchange happens. Below you can see how to go about it step by step. ► Prepare carefully
Use this booklet to find out what your possibilities are in relation to your degree, your language abilities and your wanderlust. Then search for more information about the universities that might be interesting for you. Use the homepages of the universities (find the links on our webpage), and drop by Internation‐
al Relations to borrow brochures or student reports from the relevant universities. Our experience tells us that the hardest part for the students is finding courses, so you need to be thorough when you do your research. Please be aware that it might not be possible for you to find updated information on course offerings, however. Sometimes you may need to settle for information about courses from pre‐
vious semesters alone. ► Apply for the exchange place or for a grant Once you have decided on a host university abroad, you have to fill out our digital application form on our webpage. The application can only be filled in online. If you choose to arrange a stay abroad individually or want to do an internship, you have to fill out the relevant forms which can be found on our webpage. 7
► Wait for nomination
When the application deadline expires, we begin to consider all applications. If there are more appli‐
cants for the same place, we prioritize according to criteria agreed upon with each faculty. Primarily, the average grade will decide whom we nominate. Please note that the host institution may require a cer‐
tain grade average for you to get the place, so just because you might get the exchange place ‐ it doesn't automatically follow that you will be admitted to the host institution. Other factors may also be decisive, such as the number of passed exams and ECTS. With some exchange agreements, it is stated that the places should be distributed in a particular way between the faculties. Usually it is possible to be flexible when distributing the places, so that most applicants receive an exchange place. ► Put together a study programme
If you have been nominated to an exchange place, you need to put together a study programme. The basic concept is to find information about the subjects you want to study abroad and then put them to‐
gether as a study programme that can replace a number of courses that you have to take at SDU. You will need to find course descriptions as well as information about the number of credits for each course. If you are in doubt, you should contact you academic student advisor (faglig vejleder). ► Apply for pre‐approval from your study board When you have been awarded an exchange place, you will need to have your proposed study pro‐
gramme approved by your study board. Send the study programme pertaining to your exchange place to your study board together with course descriptions. Each study board may have different rules that you need to be aware of. ► Apply for admission to the host university
Once your study programme has been approved by your study board, you are ready to apply for admis‐
sion at the host university. International Relations has nominated you, and typically you receive an email from the host university. The email from the host university will inform you about their application pro‐
cedures. In case you do not hear anything, do not assume that everything is fine. Some universities ex‐
pect you to follow their online application guidelines, so it is important that you are active in this pro‐
cess. When in doubt ‐ contact International Relations here at SDU. Final acceptance should always come from the host institution. Later you will receive information about the grant from Internationalization Fund ‐ when applying for exchange, you automatically apply for a grant, too. More information? If you have any questions in connection with your application or the exchange places, you are always welcome to con‐
tact us. You can find more information about going abroad on our webpage: www.sdu.dk/detinternationalekontor 8

Oversøiske udvekslingspladser ‐ værd at vide De oversøiske udvekslingspladser gælder ofte flere forskellige studieretninger, og derfor vil der ofte være mange studerende, der søger pladserne. Det er derfor en god idé at søge mere end én plads, være fleksibel og ikke kun ansø‐
ge en af de mest efterspurgte steder som fx Californien, Hawaii og Florida. ► Karaktergennemsnit Når de egnede ansøgere er udvalgte, dvs. studerende som har et forhåndsgodkendt studieprogram in‐
denfor udvekslingsaftalens målgruppe, fordeles pladserne efter karaktergennemsnit. Mange af de oversøiske samarbejdsuniversiteter stiller høje krav til udvekslingsstuderende. Der vil der‐
for ofte være et minimumsgennemsnit for at komme i betragtning til pladsen. Ligeledes kræver mange værtsuniversiteter, at de studerende har gennemført min. 2 års studier forud for opholdet. ► Svar på din ansøgning Inden jul vil du modtage svar på din ansøgning. ► Optagelseskrav Vær opmærksom på, at selvom du tildeles en udvekslingsplads gennem Internationale Relationer, skal du stadig søge om optagelse på værtsuniversitetet efterfølgende. Dette kan ofte involvere en hel del ar‐
bejde med at fremskaffe de nødvendige papirer, forsikringer, sprogtest, visum mm, og der vil være en række ansøgningskrav, der skal opfyldes. Det er en god idé at kigge disse igennem før, du søger om ud‐
vekslingspladsen. Da værtsuniversiteterne løbende ændrer deres krav, er det ikke muligt at medtage disse i listerne over udvekslingspladser. Det er på universiteternes hjemmesider, du skal finde dem. I det omfang vi kender til sprogkrav eller særlige bestemmelser, er de medtaget i dette hæfte. Men blot fordi, der ikke nævnes noget om fx sprogtest, er det ikke ensbetydende med, at det ikke kan være påkrævet. ► Økonomi Får du en udvekslingsplads, skal du ikke betale for undervisningen på værtsuniversitetet. Du skal dog stadig afholde udgifter til bolig, forsikring, rejse, mad, bøger, fornøjelser etc. Ofte skal du, når du ansø‐
ger om optagelse på værtsuniversitetet, dokumentere, at du har tilstrækkelige midler til at gennemføre opholdet. Dokumentationen består fx af en bekræftelse på SU (kan fås på engelsk ved henvendelse til SU Kontoret), brev fra banken, garanti fra forældre, legattilsagn etc. Såfremt du ikke modtager SU, skal du – allerede inden, du ansøger om udvekslingspladsen – dokumentere, at du har tilstrækkelige midler til rådighed under opholdet (generelt min. 5000 kr. per måned). Alle studerende, der bliver tildelt en oversøisk udvekslingsplads, modtager automatisk et stipendium fra SDUs Internationaliseringspulje. Dette stipendie vil typisk kunne dække en flybillet t/r, men du skal på‐
regne selv at kunne lægge pengene ud. ► Hvis jeg nu ikke får en plads... ...skal du ikke lade dig slå ud! Der er stadig mange muligheder for at komme af sted og få en unik ople‐
velse. Du kan enten: 
søge en restplads 
søge en europæisk plads i forårsrunden 
rejse som study abroad mod betaling 
lave et selvarrangeret ophold 11
Overseas exchange places – good to know Overseas exchange places are often offered to several different areas of study, which means that there will often be many applicants. It is therefore recommended that you apply for more than just one place and that you do not only apply for the most attractive places places, e.g. California, Hawaii and Florida. ► Grade average When the eligible applicants are chosen, that is, students with a relevant study programme approved by their study board, the places are allocated according to grade average. Many of our overseas partners have strict minimum requirements for exchange students. Often there will be a minimum grade average simply to be considered for the place. In addition, many universities require that students have completed min. two years of university studies before the exchange period. ► Our decision Before Christmas you will receive an answer to your application. ► Admission requirements After you have been awarded an exchange places, you will need to apply for admission at the host uni‐
versity. You will need to spend time obtaining the necessary documents, insurance, language test, visa etc. It is a good idea to go through the host university’s admission requirements before you apply for the exchange place. Since the universities often change their admission requirements, it is not possible to include them in this booklet. You will need to check their websites. If we have information about lan‐
guage tests or other specific requirements, we have included it in the right column. However, you can‐
not assume that no information about language tests means that you are exempt from taking it. If you get an exchange place you will not have to pay for tuition. However, you will still need to pay liv‐
ing expenses, insurance, travel, books etc. You will need to prove that you have sufficient funds in ad‐
vance in order to be admitted to the host university. Documentation could be, e.g. Danish SU, a bank statement, support from parents, grants etc. If you do not receive SU, you will – when you apply for the exchange place – need to prove that you have suffiecient funds at your disposal each month during the period abroad (generally around 5000 DKK a month). All students winning an exchange place will automatically receive a travel grant from SDU’s Internation‐
alization Fund. This grant will typically be able to cover a round‐way fare to the host country, but you will most likely have to pay yourself initially. ► If I don’t get a place... ... don’t give up! There are still many possibilities left for going abroad: 
apply for remaining places 
apply for a European exchange place in the upcoming round 
use a study abroad agreement 
do an individually‐arranged stay 12

Selvarrangerede ophold – værd at vide Har du et ønske om at læse i et bestemt land eller på et bestemt universitet i udlandet, som SDU ikke samarbejder med? I så fald har du mulighed for at selv at arrangere et studieophold til et universitet i udlandet og muligvis modtage støtte fra Udlandsstipendieordningen gennem SU systemet. ► Økonomi Du vil ikke udvekslingsstuderende, og du skal derfor som oftest regne med at skulle betale undervis‐
ningsafgift til værtsuniversitetet. Prisen afhænger af flere forhold, herunder land, studie, valutakurser og ikke mindst værtsuniversitetets renommé. Et semesters undervisningsafgifter i USA, Australien eller Ca‐
nada ligger typisk fra 45.000 kr. og opefter. Visse universiteter i fx Skotland er væsentlig billigere end i andre engelsktalende lande. Såfremt du er SU berettiget, og opholdet er meritgivende vil du typisk kunne få udlandsstipendium gen‐
nem SU Kontoret. Hvis du ikke skal betale tuition, eller hvis du ikke modtager udlandsstipendium, kan du ansøge SDUs In‐
ternationaliseringspulje om et mindre rejsestipendium til dit ophold. På www.sdu.dk/detinternationalekontor kan du desuden finde links til legater og fonde, og det er værd at holde øjnene åbne, for der er ofte gode muligheder for at hente lidt ekstra herigennem. Ved et selvarrangeret ophold sørger du selv for kontakt, ansøgning og optagelse på det pågældende sted. Såfremt du søger ind som betalingsstuderende på et universitet, som vi allerede samarbejder med, bør du kontakte os først. På de følgende sider kan du se de rabataftaler, SDU har indgået med udenland‐
ske universiteter. Du vil kun kunne opnå denne rabat ved at søge igennem Det internationale Kontor. Flere virksomheder i Danmark formidler ophold til udenlandske universiteter. Det er typisk gratis at modtage vejledning herfra, idet virksomhederne får provision af de undervisningsafgifter, du skal betale til værtsuniversitetet: EDU Danmark: www.edu‐danmark.dk Kilroy: www.kilroyeducation.dk ► Ansøgningsfrist Ved selvarrangerede ophold, er den vigtigste frist det udenlandske universitets egen ansøgningsfrist. Søger du study abroad hos en af vores partnere, bør du imidlertid overholde samme ansøgningsfrister som for udvekslingspladserne. Det er en god idé at være ude i god tid, da der er mange forhold, der skal falde på plads, især økonomi, sprogtest, optagelse, forsikring mm. OBS – på vores hjemmeside: www.sdu.dk/detinternationalekontor kan du downloade et skema med en oversigt over de forskellige forhold, du skal have styr på ved selvarrangerede ophold. 25
Individually‐arranged stays – good to know Do you want to study in a particular country or at a university with which SDU does not cooperate? If so, you can arrange a study abroad period on your own, and if you receive SU, you may also be eligible for funding through the Udlandsstipendieordning. ► Financial considerations You will not be considered an exchange student, and you must take care of contact, application and en‐
rolment to the particular university yourself. In addition, you should note that you most likely would have to pay tuition fees to the host university. You can apply for a travel grant through the university’s Internationalization Fund, and if you receive SU, you can apply for funds through the ‘udlandsstipendieordning’ as a contribution to the tuition fees. If you do not have to pay tuition or if you do not receive ‘udlandsstipendie’, you can apply for a small grant from the SDU’s own Internationalization Fund. Some of our overseas partners offer a discount to SDU students on individually arranged stays. These are listed in the section ‘study abroad’ in our lists of exchange places. If you apply to one of our partner universities, you should always contact the International Office first. Different companies in Denmark can help you arrange a study abroad period at a university in e.g. the United States, Canada, Australia or New Zealand. It is free to receive their help since they receive com‐
mission from the host university in case you get admitted: EDU Danmark: www.edu‐danmark.dk Kilroy Education: www.kilroyeducaiton.dk ► Application deadline With individually‐arranged stays, the most important deadline is the ones at the host university. If you apply through one of our study abroad agreements, you will need to follow the same deadline as with the regular exchange places. Make sure you begin well in advance due to the number of different things to sort out, e.g. finances, language test, admission, insurance etc. Please note – on our webpage: www.sdu.dk/detinternationalekontor you can download a form with an overview of the different things you need to know and arrange in relation to individually‐arranged stays. 26
Study Abroad – selvarrangerede ophold med rabat SDU har indgået nogle særlige aftaler med udenlandske universiteter, der giver dig mulighed for at læse på værtsuniversitetet i 1‐2 semestre mod betaling. Der er indgået aftale om rabat på undervisningsafgifterne, således disse er billigere, end hvad du ellers ville skulle betale for et selvarrangeret ophold. Desuden har SDU løbende kontakt til værtsuniversitetet og vil således kunne hjælpe dig bedre. Opholdet skal forhåndsgodkendes af dit studienævn, og du ansøger på samme måde som ved almindelige udvekslingspladser. Study abroad aftaler: Aftalen findes også som udveksling, så du kan i første omgang ansøge om James Cook University, en sådan plads. Hvis du skulle få afslag, har du mulighed for at komme Australien ind alligevel mod betaling af undervisningsafgifter. Aftalen giver dig 15% rabat på prisen, men kun hvis du søger direkte hos SDU. Aftalen er åben for næsten alle studieretninger. Aftalen findes også som udveksling, så du kan i første omgang ansøge om Swinburne University en sådan plads. Hvis du skulle få afslag, har du mulighed for at komme ind alligevel mod betaling af undervisningsafgifter. I 2014 er denne fee 9400 A$ per semester University of Northern Aftalen findes også som udveksling, men prisen på study abroad er så lav, British Columbia, Cana‐
at den oftest bliver helt dækket gennem udlandsstipendieordningen. Et da semester koster ca. 2000 dollars. Der skal ansøges gennem Internationale Relationer – ikke direkte til UNBC. Støttemuligheder På samme måde som ved andre selvarrangerede ophold kan du via SU Kontoret ansøge om udlandsstipendie til hel‐ eller delvis dækning af undervisningsafgifter. Se mere herom på www.sdu.dk/udlandsstipendium. Der er løbende sagsbehandling af ansøgninger. 27
Study Abroad – individually arranged stays with dis‐
count SDU has signed a few special agreements with universities abroad giving you the possibility to study at the host University for 1 or 2 semesters by paying tuition. The fees are however, typi‐
cally lower than usual individually arranged stays. In addition, SDU has ongoing correspondence with the host university and will be able to help you in the process. Your stay must be pre‐approved by your study board. You can apply for the study abroad place the same way as with regular overseas exchange places. Study abroad agreements: James Cook University, Australia Swinburne University of Technology University of Northern British Columbia, Cana‐
da This agreement also exists as an exchange agreement, so initially you should apply for the exchange place. In case you don’t get it, you still have the possibility to study abroad by paying tuition fees. Our agree‐
ment provides you with a 15% discount on these fees. The agreement is open to almost all areas of study. This agreement also exists as an exchange agreement, so initially you should apply for the exchange place. In case you don’t get it, you still have the possibility to study abroad by paying tuition fees. In 2014 the tuition fee is 9400 A$ per semester Exchange is also possible, but the price for study abroad is very reasona‐
ble. If you receive Danish SU and you are eligible for ’udlandsdsstipendie’, the tuition might be fully covered. Tuition for one semester is around 2000 dollars. Apply through International Relations, not directly to UNBC. Financial support If you receive SU, you can apply for ’udlandsstipendie’ to fully or partly cover the tuition fees. You need to apply through the SU Office. See more at www.sdu.dk/udlandsstipendium. Applications will be handled continuously. 28
Internationaliseringspuljen Internationale Relationer bevilger hvert år en lang række stipendier fra Syddansk Universitets Interna‐
tionaliseringspulje til studerende, der vælger at tage på praktik/klinik i udlandet eller arrangerer et udlandsophold uden om SDUs udvekslingsaftaler. Studerende fra alle studieretninger kan søge om støtte, og det er underordnet, hvor I verden opholdet foregår. Du kan søge om støtte med tilbagevirkende kraft for seneste akademiske år, men du skal i så fald ansøge ved den førstkommende ansøgningsrunde efter opholdets afslutning. Følgende betingelser er gældende: 



Du skal være fuldtidsstuderende på SDU
Udlandsopholdet skal kunne meritoverføres til minimum 5 ECTS.
Dit studienævn skal forhåndsgodkende dit ophold, og du skal efterfølgende søge merit for ophol‐
det.
Du kan ikke samtidig modtage støtte fra andre udvekslingsprogrammer, fx Erasmus+, Nordplus
eller fra SU Styrelsens Udlandsstipendieordning
Størrelsen på stipendiet afhænger af, hvor opholdet foregår, varigheden samt antal forhåndsgodkend‐
te ECTS. Derudover kan dine karakterer blive taget i betragtning. Der gælder særlige procedurer for medicinstuderende, der skal i klinikophold (se særskilt information herom). Yderligere oplysninger fås hos de faglige vejledere eller på Det internationale Kontor. Ansøgningsfrister: Løbende The university’s Internationalization Fund SDU has its own fund to which you can apply for a grant for your individually arranged study or intern‐
ship period abroad. Students from all fields can apply for funds, regardless of where in the world your stay is. You can apply for grants for stays completed in the previous academic year also if you apply in the first round after finishing your stay. The following criteria are used for the grants: 


You have to be a full‐time student at SDU
A minimum credit transfer of 5 ECTS should be awarded by your study board. Your study board
has to give its pre‐approval of your stay abroad, and upon your return, you must apply for credit
transfer.
You cannot at the same time receive support from SDU’s other exchange programmes or from the
‘Udlandsstipendieordning.’
Special procedures apply to students of medicine (see separate info). Application deadlines: Ongoing 29
