Chances of securing both relevant student jobs and money jobs are good because of the many international companies in the region and the international vibe in the city. 

In Vejle, you will settle in quickly and enjoy the mix of opportunity, quality of life and a city that’s easy to call home.

It is quite easy to find accommodation in Vejle, and the local student city guide is always ready to help, if you need it.

Housing comes in different variations, and the city is regularly building extra accommodation, so chances are good of finding one to suit your needs and wishes - regardless if you prefer a dormitory, shared housing, youth housing or private rentals. 

Some student housing options offer common social activities to make it easier to make new friends and feel like a part of the local community.

The city of Vejle is centrally located in Denmark in a region where global giants like the LEGO Group, Siemens Gamesa, Danfoss and many more are driving innovation. These companies are not just neighbours to SDU. They are career opportunities for you.

From day one, students at SDU Vejle will work on real-world cases and have direct access to internships and student jobs in small and large, local and international companies.

Danish terrain is generally very flat, but Vejle offers a varied landscape and the (unofficially) steepest road in Denmark with a gradient of 25 % - here you can really put your biking skills to the test.

If you prefer mountain biking in nature, the area offers several trails in the surrounding forests, where you can also find scenic hiking trails or enjoy the tranquil solitude.

Surrounded by forests and with the sea and Vejle Fjord at the doorstep, you'll have plenty of opportunities for outdoor exercise and water sports alone or as part of one of the local sports clubs, which is also a good place to meet others who share your interests.
