If so, spending time at one of our north2north partner universities or doing field work in the Arctic might be just the thing for you.
north2north is an arctic network with many universities around the Arctic. Many of them are also partners with SDU within other programs or networks.
You will find north2north exchange places in the catalogue for European universities as well as in the catalogue for overseas universities.
How to apply
Places are announced in the regular autumn application round (deadline 1 November) and you apply for these just as you would apply for ordinary exchange places. You can read more about the application process under How to do it - Application to SDU.
If you are eligible for the exchange place, we will nominate you to the north2north main office in Finland, who handles the allocation of places among all participants in the network.
As soon as we have the decision from the main office in Finland, we will inform you. You should expect to receive a decision in late February.
If you do not receive an offer in late February, you can still apply for an exchange place in our spring application round (deadline 1 March).
