Program Details
Technical University of Denmark |
|
|
| Overview |
University: Founded in 1829, the Technical University of Denmark is a world leader in fields such as design, wind energy, biotechnology, electronics and telecommunication. Total enrollment is just over 6,000, 10% of whom are international students. Location: Lyngby, a northern suburb of Copenhagen, can be reached by train from the city center. Service is frequent and the journey lasts twenty minutes. Copenhagen, with 1.9 million inhabitants, is the capital of Denmark. The DTU academic calendar is similar to Purdue's. This means that students are able to complete the fall semester before the end of December and return to Purdue in time for the start of the spring semester. The DTU spring semester does extend through the first week of June. The DTU course catalogue is posted online so that during the prior semester students can access comprehensive information about each course, including the date of the final examination.

[College of Engineering]
If students complete courses while abroad from Purdue colleges that have not approved the program, they might be able to earn transfer credit for those courses. Students interested in pursuing transfer credit should discuss this with both their academic advisor and their study abroad advisor before applying to the program.

| Housing |
Housing is in short supply in the entire country of Denmark, not just at universities there. Therefore, DTU cannot guarantee housing for all exchange students. However, the international office will assist students in finding a room. For all types of accommodation, students will need to supply their own bed linens and towels. Rooms are fully furnished and meals can be prepared in shared kitchens. |
