On itslearning you’ll find book lists for all of the subjects you will be taking in the upcoming semester. The book lists are often not released until just before the start of the semester, as your lecturers usually do not finish planning for the semester until this time.
It is always a good idea to ask your lecturers for advice on which literature you must make a priority to buy and which literature are of secondary importance.
The university has its own bookstore where you can buy all the books. However, sometimes you may be so lucky that you can borrow the books you need from the library, or buy them used from older students or at www.pensum.dk.
Search at SDU maps for a specific location.
If you get ill during the study start period, make sure to follow up on important information that you may have lost.
