The University of Southern Denmark (Danish: Syddansk Universitet, lit.'South Danish University', abbr. SDU) has campuses located in Southern Denmark and on Zealand. It offers a number of joint programmes in co-operation with the University of Flensburg and the University of Kiel. Contacts with regional industries and the international scientific community are strong.

With its 29,674 enrolled students (as of 2016),[2] the university is both the third-largest and, given its roots in Odense University, the third-oldest Danish university (fourth if one includes the Technical University of Denmark).[4] Since the introduction of the ranking systems in 2012, the University of Southern Denmark has been ranked between 36th (2012 [5]), 38th (2013 [6]), 37th (2014[7]), and 44th (2015 [8]) in the world by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings in the Top 100 Universities Under 50 List.[9] It is also one of the Top 50 Universities Under 50 according to QS World University Rankings from 2012-2015.[10][11][12][13]
