Description

What does it mean to be an American? Is there a shared American culture, or is that just something Europeans imagine? Study the global superpower - and get the chance to experience it yourself.

Career Opportunities

Our graduates have gone on to work in such diverse fields as high school teaching, government ministries, TV news consultants and PhD studies. Our graduates have such a variety of job possibilities because they have different BA degrees and because they are able to develop particular areas of expertise through their selection of elective courses, internships, terms abroad, and the topic of their MA thesis.

About the programme

Due to the global reach of the United States, most Europeans have the impression that they “know” America, which is often perceived as a single culture, with little recognition of the complexity and variety that are characteristic of the nation.

American Studies is a two year MA programme that focuses on the world's leading superpower. It looks at culture, politics, economics, literature, and society in a country of more than 300 million inhabitants in fifty distinct states.

It represents an interdisciplinary study that draws on several disciplines in order to ensure that students can understand and analyse American cultural identities and the changing relationship between the United States and the rest of the world. The programme is intended to give you a broad spectrum of knowledge within the American Studies discipline.

Courses are taught by internationally recognised researchers who cover all aspects of American history, culture, politics, social studies, transnationalism, and literature.

Course Content
The first semester requires all students to take three courses – one in history, one in cultural studies, and one in Theory and Method in American Studies.

During the second semester, students take two thematic courses, one in history and politics, the other in literature and culture studies. For the remaining 10 ECTS, students may take up either an elective or an internship.

The majority of elective courses are in participating departments, including history, political science, English, media studies, religion, journalism, and marketing.

During the third semester, many students choose to complete internships either in Denmark or abroad, or spend the semester on exchange at a university overseas. SDU has many exchange agreements with American universities.

Admission

You must hold a Bachelor's degree in a related subject. Previous backgrounds have included History, Politics, English Studies, Journalism and Law.

Students with other Bachelor´s degrees deemed of relevance by the Study Board will likewise be granted access to the MA in American Studies.

Circular Economy for Business and Engineers with SDG Focus

Organizations must rethink and optimize their existing strategies to meet their sustainable business goals due to the constant depletion of vital resources and societal issues’ greater demands. The increasing population not only has an impact on natural resources; it also results in more significant pollution and contributes to greater levels of poverty. With these considerations, on September 25, 2015, some countries adopted a new set of sustainable development goals (SDGs) to end poverty and to improve prosperity worldwide. Seventeen sustainable goals have been targeted to achieve by 2030 under the new sustainable development agenda (UN.org, 2015). Further, these sustainable goals encompass a range of perspectives and various levels of applications, including supply chain management. In recent years, academicians, researchers, and practitioners have addressed supply chain management issues because of their significant impacts on organizational developments regardless of the field of applications. Researchers around the globe are exhibiting increased interest in how the circular economy (CE) may contribute to the SDG’s. The level of widespread acceptance being generated clearly shows the potential necessity of implementing CE. Nations are feeling pressure from an alarming decrease in resources, pollution, political insecurity, and safety breaches. Contrary to the conventional or linear economy approach, which utilizes the take-use-dispose model, the CE model focuses on value creation by closing the loop. The CE model works as a natural system by using the values of the material, energy, and other resources within a particular ecosystem as a single loop. Hence, in recent years, the CE model has gained popularity among businesses and communities. This course will provide you with skills to the current practices of circular economy (CE) and SDG’s for business and engineers and identify and critically discuss the connection between linear/circular economies and environmental sustainability generally and between circular economies and SDG’s specifically. We will apply the Design and systems approach to solve business and engineering tasks. The course sessions use traditional teaching, case-based real-life problems solving tasks, and industrial visits.

Mandatory prerequisites:
Enrolled in an engineering, social science or business bachelor’s degree program or the equivalent.

Two years of studies at university level (equivalent to 120 ECTS) within a relevant field of study, before the summer school starts.

Recommended prerequisites:
Basic prior knowledge about sustainability and/or, supply chain management is an advantage.

Description

Do you want to be part of the rapid development in the world of IT, be it in computer game programming, bioinformatics, databases, algorithms, operative systems, super computers or web technology?
And do you want an IT-degree which will not be obsolete just because someone introduces a new programming language or a new interface?

If your answer to both questions is yes, the programme in Computer Science is for you.

This Master’s programme qualifies you to participate in scientific works and independently undertake business functions based on these abilities.

Career Opportunities

With a degree in Computer Science, you can handle many different types of jobs and you will have the qualifications to gain new, complex skills independently.

You will play a part in developing new variants of central algorithms and data structures and thereby help construct computer hardware and operative systems. The solid academic base which you gain through your education means that you can adapt to many environments.

About the Degree

The scientific aspect of the Master’s programme is most evident in the final thesis project which lasts a year. Work on the project is done in close contact with a supervisor and often in connection to the supervisor’s own research. It must be said, though, that the Master’s programme is not a research degree as such. To achieve these credentials, you must complete a PhD programme.

A large part of the Master's programme in Computer Science consists of elective courses, the offer of which is updated every quarter. This allows you to piece together a very focused degree, regardless of whether you aim for a job in the business sector or in teaching and research. See programme outline

Most electronics today contain power electronics and embedded systems in one form or another and this trend is on the rise with future products and production becoming increasingly intelligent and energy-optimized. This means that more and more electronics are based on power electronics, embedded systems and control technology. Therefore, there is a demand for electronic engineers with expertise in these fields.

First-Job Guarantee

As an engineering student at SDU Sønderborg, you are guaranteed your first job when you finish your MSc studies (applies for students starting from September 2020).

Three themes

At the programme you will be educated within three main themes: power electronics, embedded systems and integrated application with focus on industrial applications.

Power electronics

The world's collective energy consumption is soaring which has led to increased focus on the need to convert energy production from the use of fossil fuels to renewable energy, for example in the form of sun and wind energy. Power electronics is the key to new sustainable energy solutions.

In short, power electronics is the optimal conversion of electrical energy form to another. For example, changing the between AC and DC or changing the amplitude, phase, or frequency. This could for example be the electronic system that converts the electrical power produced by a wind turbine to the desired amplitude and frequency for the power grid. The use of electric energy conversion is increasing as enhanced electrification is driven by the green transition and as the evolution of power electronic components is undergoing a rapid development.

Embedded systems

The programme's second field is embedded systems, which are found in most electronic equipment and smart solutions. To add (more) intelligence to the products and services of the future, embedded systems are used. Embedded systems are found everywhere and are used in all market sectors such as energy, health care, environment, agriculture, communication, entertainment, textiles, transport, logistics, chemistry, food and materials.

Integrated application

Examples of integrated applications where the combination of power electronics and embedded systems plays a major role:

Power electronics and embedded system, used for controlling the rotation speed of wind turbines in order to produce maximum power
Energy from solar panels is converted into power by utilization of power electronics and embedded systems
The transportation sector is a major energy consumer where hybrid and electric cars rely on power electronics, embedded systems and control in order to reduce the energy consumption
Storage of energy in water reservoirs or pressure tanks is done by means of power electronics combined with embedded systems
Power electronics and embedded systems are used in space crafts and satellites for converting energy from solar panels, fuel cells and batteries
Consumer and industrial products such as phones, televisions, computers, kitchen appliances, cars, robots etc.

Career opportunities

The programme offers a range of career options both in Denmark and abroad. You can get a job as a development and research engineer or project leader in development projects, technical manager, consultant or contractor. It is typically within branches which work with the development of electronic products, green technology, sustainable energy and transport systems.
Read more about the career options.

You can also continue with a 3-year research training programme, which leads to a PhD. For graduate engineers there is also the option to carry out an industrial PhD programme, which is conducted in close collaboration with a company where you will be employed.

By “narrative medicine” we mean medicine and health care studies practiced with narrative skills of recognizing, absorbing, interpreting, and being moved by the stories of illness. The field is defined by MD and Professor Rita Charon, Columbia University, around 2000. Narrative medicine aims for a deep integration of humanities and the arts, particularly literature, in medical and healthcare education. Additionally, narrative medicine has been used in health promotion and humanistic rehabilitation of ill and vulnerable people. The cross-disciplinary field is committed to the realization that a portion of the evidence in the medical and health humanities will be found not in numbers but in language and stories.

Generally biomedical sciences are interested in the generalities and categories, whereas narrative medicine privileges particular individual narratives and attends to the meaning that the patient develops. The ability to see each patient as a complete human being is the basis for the trust and understanding that helps the person through the hard times. This narrative competence is built mainly through close reading of literary texts and creative writing of participants’ own stories.

The Summer School on narrative medicine is open for everyone in health care and in the humanities. Whether you are a bachelor or a master student, you will be offered an individualized, and all exams are portfolio exams. The Summer School is led by scholars of humanities who have extensive experience from our regular courses of narrative medicine at University of Southern Denmark. Guest lectures are given by medical professors and clinicians associated with narrative medicine. Sessions of facilitated close reading and creative writing are combined with group work and small presentations.

Course material is the new research anthology Narrative Medicine in Education, Practice, and Interventions (in process, 2022) edited by scholars from University of Southern Denmark and a selection of primarily literary texts, but also art works and films.

Mandatory prerequisites:
One year of studies at university level (equivalent to 60 ECTS) within a relevant field of study, before the summer school starts.

Find the answer to why and how technology works

During your studies you will find the answer to why and how technology works – and you will use that knowledge to develop, for example, optically based faster computers or new optical measurement methods for diagnosing cancer, or ultra-sensitive sensors capable of detecting the presence of just a few molecules of narcotics or explosives.Since the invention of the laser some fifty years ago, optics and especially nanotechnology have undergone a rapid development and become significant parts of physics, technology and industry as well as of our everyday lives. Just imagine that without the laser, things such as the DVD-player would not have existed and you would not have been able to print on a laser printer.With a master programme in Physics and Technology you will acquire specialist skills in a broad area, primarily linked to the design and fabrication of nanostructured functional materials as well as the characteristics of light and its interaction with atoms, molecules and matter. Applications that exploit these aspects are the primary focus of this academic profile.

Science of light and color

Optics is not about glasses and contact lenses; it is about the science of light and color. The programme includes theories on how to produce light in for example lasers, the scattering of light in different matters, and theories of how light interacts and exchanges energy with the matter. Laser light interacting with a nanostructured noble metal is confined to the metal surface; something which will enable you to use nanometre thin gold wires to guide light. You build on your already strong foundation in physics, technology and mathematics. This provides you with a deeper knowledge of especially advanced optics, quantum physics, material physics and molecule physics, nanophysics and the fabrication of nanostructures. These subjects enable you to work interdisciplinary in this rapidly changing high-tech world with challenges in academic frontier areas. In addition, you will acquire expertise in measuring and analyzing signals – with special focus on, for example, highly sensitive sensors combined with intelligent data analysis.
In your master thesis project you can work in one of the university's exciting research areas related to the academic profile.
This could for example be nanooptics, where you utilize the fact that light can be intensified millions of times when it interacts with tiny gold particles. By optimizing this process it is possible to create highly sensitive single-molecule sensors which can detect, for example, pesticides on the surface of vegetables or fruits. Get an overview of the Programme structure.

The era of globalization has connected business and trade across borders in multiple ways, facilitating transnational entrepreneurship, movement of people and their ideas, fostering innovation, investment, global supply chains and cosmopolitan diasporas. During the recent turbulent times, entrepreneurial ecosystems connecting local with global forming cross-border social capital and knowledge networks have manifested their importance for regional development and resilience. Additionally, technological advancement and digitalization provide increasing opportunities for economic collaboration and development facilitating international trade, investment, and entrepreneurship. We address such phenomena and connect the dots to capture insights and concepts like Invisible Diaspora hand or diffusion of innovation. While studying the topic we gain theoretical understanding and multidisciplinary viewpoints, apply the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, exercise critical thinking and strategize solutions collaboratively on a real-life research problem.
