About <strong>DTU</strong><br />
“Collaboration between industrialists and researchers<br />
can benefit both. It inspires researchers to make new<br />
and useful discoveries and gives industrialists insight<br />
into continual creative innovation.<br />
…One nation will never be able to reach the standard<br />
of another by mere imitation. Those who intend to<br />
keep abreast of those who develop industry through<br />
innovation must be innovative themselves or otherwise<br />
always be a generation behind” Hans Christian Ørsted at the inauguration<br />
of the Technical University of Denmark in 1829<br />
The Technical University of Denmark (<strong>DTU</strong>) is the main institution for engineering education and research in Denmark. It was founded in 1829 by<br />
order of the King under the direction of Hans Christian Ørsted, whose discovery of electromagnetism was a key factor in the creation of modern<br />
society. Ørsted’s strong interest in engineering applications of new scientific discoveries influenced education at the university.<br />
Over time, <strong>DTU</strong> has contributed significantly to the creation of values and of welfare in the Danish society. The university has always been able to<br />
graduate elite engineers and scientists - each taking along the innovative spirit initially founded by Ørsted.<br />
Since 1974 <strong>DTU</strong> has been located in Lyngby 15 kilometers north of Copenhagen. The campus has custom-built facilities for teaching and research<br />
and it creates an attractive setting for education, research and innovation.<br />
<strong>DTU</strong> strongly links research and education. The relationships between the University and industry in Denmark and elsewhere have become more<br />
and more important. Today, approximately one third of the funding of research comes from external sources and specialized research centers<br />
play a key role in maintaining a dynamic research and innovation policy.<br />
<strong>DTU</strong> has joined the process of creating, by 2010, a European higher education area (the Bologna process) and now offers 13 three-year BSc<br />
degree <strong>programs</strong> taught in Danish and 33 two-year <strong>MSc</strong> degree <strong>programs</strong> taught in English. As a truly modern university, <strong>DTU</strong> offers engineering<br />
degrees that provide graduates with a unique set of qualifications and competences which are in great demand world wide.
