Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

Today we started off our day by listening to a presentation about the Danish higher education system at Syddansk University.  We learned more about the secondary school system as well as the Bachelor and Masters programs that are offered and the recent changes that the school system has undergone.

From the University we took taxis to the local Sydbank branch were we watched a video about the growth of the bank, it's mission and vision.  Sydbank is the 4th largest bank in Denmark with 110 branches in Denmark as well as 3 in Germany and a subsidiary bank in Switzerland. 

After the bank presentation we walked to the museum of Hans Christian Anderson where we were able to tour the writers birthplace and learn more about his childhood and adult life.
To complete our day before heading home to our host families we had time to walk around the 'old town' of Odense.
