HUM Communication is the communication unit of the Faculty of Humanities and partner for researchers, lecturers, administrative staff, students and external stakeholders.
We support the faculty’s strategic goals in research and education through targeted communication, dissemination and digital solutions as well as through initiatives such as outreach, recruitment and student counselling.
We collaborate closely with the faculty’s academic environments and contribute with:
- Branding and research dissemination
- Internal and external communication
- Web, advertising and digital infrastructure
- Outreach, recruitment and student counselling – with a focus on admissions, well-being and completion
Our ambition
We strive to make the Humanities visible, relevant and accessible – both within and outside SDU – through relevant communication, digital support and targeted recruitment and student counselling.
We enhance the visibility of the Humanities both externally and within SDU
We help you get your messages across and work strategically to make the faculty’s research and academic profiles visible and accessible to both external audiences and colleagues.
We support the visibility of researchers and academic environments to strategically important partners, while also fostering greater pride in our workplace through internal storytelling about activities, achievements and successes.
Among other things, we offer:
- Consultation and production related to research dissemination and press
- Content creation and strategy for social media
- Development and implementation of branding and communication campaigns
- Visual communication and internal messaging
- Copy-editing and proofreading
Who we are
We work to attract, retain and support students – before, during and after admission
We have extensive knowledge of young people’s needs, behaviour and decision-making processes, which forms the foundation of our work. A cornerstone is our Student Counselling Service, where we advise approximately 3,000 humanities students each year on their options throughout their studies. Our advisors are well-versed in the rules, frameworks and procedures that apply to students, and they use this expertise to provide counselling that supports well-being and motivates successful completion.
In addition to individual counselling, we carry out targeted initiatives that strengthen recruitment, retention and well-being. These include the development of study-related communities, initiatives that promote engagement in student life and measures that help students navigate their choices and opportunities throughout their academic journey.
A key focus area is recruitment, where we work strategically to ensure optimal enrolment in the humanities programmes. Our aim is to attract young people who see a meaningful future in a humanities education, and to ensure that as many as possible within the target group have the opportunity to make an informed decision about choosing SDU Humanities.
Among other things, we offer:
- Student counselling that helps students navigate their educational options and rules – and encourages thoughtful decision-making
- Targeted initiatives that prevent dropout and strengthen student engagement, such as How to Uni and Ready for Master’s
- Bridge-building activities and collaboration with upper secondary schools and youth education institutions
- Development and execution of recruitment campaigns
- Consultation on counselling materials and communication aimed at students
Who we are
We support digital visibility and a well-functioning digital infrastructure
We help ensure that information reaches the right digital channels – and that the faculty's web presence and digital solutions support both user needs and organisational goals.
We monitor, update and support the faculty's websites on SDU.dk, MitSDU and SDUnet, – and we lead targeted initiatives that promote digitalisation and streamline workflows and processes across the faculty. This includes implementation of new central IT systems at the faculty, development of existing solutions and other digitalisation efforts – including digital skills development which provides the faculty's employees with the necessary prerequisites to work effectively and safely with digital tools.
Among other things, we offer:
- Technical guidance and advice on web structure, components, templates and content development for sdu.dk, mitsdu.dk and SDUnet
- Web support and ongoing maintenance of the faculty's web content – including support for the faculty's content editors
- Support and counselling in the use of the faculty's digital solutions and SDU's IT systems and platforms – with a focus on how the systems are applied within the Faculty of Humanities
- Superuser development and facilitation for study administration systems and core M365 applications
- Digital skills development for employees
