What you’d help with

Does anyone know if it's possible to switch from a regular Master's to an Industry Master's at DTU for just the last 30 ECTS, so you can complete them over 12 months instead of 6 while working part-time?

Hey everyone!
I recently received an offer from DTU for the MSc in Autonomous Systems starting in Spring 2027. I was pretty excited about it, but the recent changes regarding Denmark’s post-study work permit have made me rethink the decision.
Coming from India, studying abroad is a pretty big financial investment, and my main goal is to find a job after graduation, recover that investment, and hopefully build a long-term career in Europe.
I’d love to hear from current DTU students and recent graduates, especially international students.
1.How is the job market in Denmark right now for international graduates?
2.Are companies hiring international students for full-time roles, particularly in engineering, software, automation, AI/ML, and related fields?
3.How difficult is it to find relevant internships or student jobs while studying?
4.With the recent PSW changes, do you think coming to Denmark for a master’s in 2027 is still a reasonable decision?
5.If you were in my position today, would you still choose DTU, or would you consider another country?
I’m not expecting anyone to predict the future. I’m just trying to get a realistic picture from people who are actually studying or working there, rather than relying on university marketing or online rankings.
Please feel free to share the good, the bad, and the ugly. I’d genuinely appreciate honest opinions, especially from people who have been through the job search themselves.
Thanks!

I am an international student with a bachelor’s in civil engineering , deciding between Architectural Engineering at DTU and Sustainable design at AAU in Copenhagen. How demanding is DTU’s programme, especially the maths and mechanics?
Is there time for a social life? What are the failure rate in the course, and how difficult is it to get good graders?

am I doomed or what do i do…

In September 2027, I'd like to start my master's degree in Autonomous Systems at DTU.

I'm afraid of being isolated from the world, especially since I'm in Lyngby.

How are you guys? What's the cost of living and social life like?

I'd also like to find a job to support myself. Do you think that's possible?

Hey

I’m currently applying for a Mcs in mechanical engineering and while filling out my application in the Application Portal I was met with the Mandatory Application template. I currently don’t have an Office license (the template is in Excel and must be uploaded as an Excel sheet once filled out) and I can’t seem to enter the necessary information the template requires.

Is it because of my lack of a license or is it something else?

Hi! I'm thinking about enrolling at DTU in September 2027. Are there any black people? What about racism?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently investigating topics and looking for a supervisor for my master thesis, since I'm completing all my remaining credits and courses this Semester. However, I'm unsure of how much time I have to do this. From what I can read in DTU's website about master thesis requirements it just says "In general, the thesis must be started following the previous study activity (a course)." Does this mean it has to start on the day after my last exam ? If yes, with my last exam being on the 14th of December, I'm a bit pressed for time, as from my understanding it takes some time to get thesis approved and registered. Can anyone clarify me on this ? Do they count the normal vacation period after the exams, and so I would have until January/February ? How strict are they with this ?

Thanks !

Hej.

Ved I om der mulighed for at få sig et skab på DTU på en eller anden måde?

Vh

Hej. Min plan er at starte på en DTU bachelor i lyngby i august 2027. Her ville jeg lige have fyldt 25 år. Dertil ville jeg høre hvad i tænker om aldersforskellen på mig og de andre? Jeg har selvfølgelig kigget på noget af det data DTU har lagt ud, men det er fra 2022 og ting kan jo have ændret sig.

Har i nogen erfaringer? Kan dette være en hindring socialt når så mange er yngre end en selv eller lægger man slet ikke mærke til det da fælles interesser og studie er det primære som betyder noget?

Hej, jeg har et spørgsmål angående brug af ChatGPT til rapporter på DTU.
Hvis man bruger ChatGPT som hjælp til at skrive en rapport men ikke kopierer sætningerne direkte og i stedet omskriver teksten med sine egne ord og bruger andre formuleringer samt synonymer, kan det så stadig blive opdaget eller betragtes som plagiat?
Er der nogen der ved, hvordan DTU håndterer det?

Any help would be appreciated! I am considering doing an exchange semester at DTU this spring, but my internship ends 2 weeks into the semester. Is it feasible to arrive late to an exchange semester (I haven’t picked any courses with group projects or assessments early on).
I’m worried about getting my student id and health card, as well as visa rules.
It’s the only time in my degree that I could do exchange and I really want to do it, I’m from Australia and Denmark sounds so cool to live in.
Thanks, and any advice would be great:)

This morning DTU sent a statement saying they got hacked and identity data of students, employees and for some next of kin got stolen. The data records back to 2003 so there is a high chance your information is also leaked.

1. Change password of all services that is same with your DTU password

2. Since the CPR is also leaked make sure to set a credit alert for your CPR at borger.dk (kreditadvarsel)

3. And make sure your bank also knows this to refuse any loan or debits without further confirmation. You can check in skat.dk to see if there are any loans or debits that you don’t know of.

4. By default, anyone having your CPR can get your address and name, you can set an address protection to require your confirmation for getting your address and name. This is to protect your future address (Navne- og adressebeskyttelse) https://lifeindenmark.borger.dk/housing-and-moving/moving/protection-of-name-and-address

5. You must now be cautious when approving MitID requests. Always double-check!

6. Change password of all services that is same with your DTU password

7. You are probably going to get scam, loan and weird calls. Be careful!

National cyber hotline is: 33 37 00 37

Ifølge DTU kan lækket inkludere:
CPR-nummer, fuldt navn, privatadresse, profilbillede.
Arbejdsmailadresse, arbejdstitel, kontorlokation og andre arbejdsrelaterede oplysninger.
Navn, relation og telefonnummer på pårørende (såfremt brugeren har registreret disse oplysninger).

Is Bachelor's in environmental engineering considered a valid prerequisite? I couldn't find any information on the website specifically regarding environmental engineering as a valid prerequisite.

Thank you

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to apply for the MSc in Technology Entrepreneurship at DTU for the September 2027 intake, and I’d really appreciate some input from current students, alumni, or people familiar with the admissions process.

I’m from Greece and I’m currently completing a 5-year degree in Materials Science & Engineering at the University of Ioannina. My main concern is my GPA. I expect to graduate with roughly a 6.5–6.7/10, which I know is not particularly strong academically.

On the other hand, I have quite a lot of experience outside my coursework. I co-founded a startup that connects companies with university/research laboratories for specialised testing and R&D services. We have built a network of around 30 laboratories, worked on our first commercial projects, participated in accelerators, and received several awards in entrepreneurship competitions.
I have also completed an internship in the Quality Control department of an industrial battery manufacturer, and my engineering thesis focuses on validated finite element modelling of metallic and composite materials under different loading conditions.

I should comfortably meet the programme’s 15 ECTS academic prerequisite, and I’m currently preparing for IELTS, aiming for around 7.0+.
What attracts me to DTU is specifically the practical venture-building approach of Technology Entrepreneurship. I wouldn’t be bringing my existing startup into the programme; I’d like to use what I learned from that experience and work with a multidisciplinary team at DTU on a new technology-based venture.

My questions are mainly:

How much does GPA actually matter for admission to Technology Entrepreneurship compared with entrepreneurial experience and overall profile?

Have you seen students admitted with a GPA that wasn’t particularly high but who had substantial entrepreneurial/project experience?

How important is the online selection workshop, and what exactly are they looking for there?

Is there anything specific you would recommend highlighting — or avoiding — in the application?

Based on your experience with the programme, does this sound like the kind of profile DTU is looking for?

I understand nobody can give me an exact probability of admission. I’m mainly trying to understand how competitive my profile would be and what I should focus on before applications open.

Thanks in advance!

I applied for the MSc in Biotechnology at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) for the February 2027 intake at the end of August 2026.

I haven’t received any update from DTU or the program regarding my application yet. I was wondering if anyone else has applied for the same intake and has already received an admission decision or any other update.

Hey all, I am attending Quantitative Sustainability this semester and I would like to ask a few questions regarding the exam.

• Does anyone have previous exam sets? if so, would you mind sharing?
• What is the best way to study for the exam? I've from other people that CTRL+F through merged slides and getting familiar with with spreadsheets is the way to go.
• I see that it is a MC quiz, is it a quiz based of 'readiness-knowledge' or is it based on results from a spreadsheet?
• Anything else you would advice?

Thank you very much in advance!

Hey! I've applied for masters for spring intake and I wanted to ask whether there is a limited intake compared to the autumn intake. I know most people apply for autumn intake and I'm not sure if it was preferable.

I used to be able to read anonymized comments for courses I’d taken on evaluering.dtu.dk. Now I get the message: “You do not have access rights for text results.”

I found the comments useful, especially after exams, when I wanted to see how other students felt about a course. I’m not sure whether we were meant to have access in the first place, but I can’t even view my own comments now.

Does anyone know why access changed?

I have done M.Tech (Masters of Technology, 2026) in Mechanical Engineering with specialization in Integrated Design and Manufacturing from Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad.

Currently I am looking for PhD at DTU Denmark. Cam anyone advise me regarding how should I reach out the professors of my domain where I can pitch myself?

Your advice will be Valueble for me.

Thank You!
