DTU is a hotpot of international students that all have the same aim – learn about something they are passionate about. Many courses have interactive coursework projects that help students to learn the content, collaborate with potential future co-workers and interact with teachers to get feedback before submission. Such structure allows for continuous improvement during the course and keeps students in touch with the teachers.
In fact, professors thank the students for being present; you will always feel welcome at the lectures. This builds personal relationships with potential future supervisors for special projects, which DTU is highly supportive of. It is easy to contact an academic staff with your own idea and carry out a project of any length for credits. If the idea is business-savvy, you can get funding for further research expenses at DTU SkyLab. Thus, DTU creates a perfect environment for early innovation and development of students’ ideas for real world applications.
If you are not into business, then there are many other options for working on projects together with fellow students. There are student organisations, ranging from pottery, to brewing beer (it’s Denmark, duh!) and to fibre arts. If none if these are what you are looking for, DTU is incredibly supportive of creating new student organisations and providing sponsorship for them.
So find what you are passionate for and come together with like-minded people to work on a project that will leave your mark on the world!
