Dr. Techn.
The degree of Doctor of Technices (Dr. Techn.) is the highest academic distinction within engineering and technological science in Denmark and is one step beyond the PhD degree. The doctorate in technology is granted on the basis of a thesis that demonstrates the author’s considerable scientific insight and maturity as well as how the author, based on the thesis, has brought the scientific community a significant step forward. Since 1918 DTU has granted the doctorate degree in technology to 203 people.
The thesis should not be longer than necessary and should include only those articles that have made a significant impact in the candidate’s field.
If you wish to submit a dissertation for consideration for the doctorate of technology at DTU, further information can be obtained from the Office for Research and Innovation.
Honorary Doctorates
Each year since 2000, DTU has been conferring the degree of Doctor Technices honoris causa to individuals who fulfill the requirements for obtaining the doctorate in technology and have made an important contribution to DTU.
