'Outstanding' DTU

DTU tops the Danish universities in satisfaction among international students.

So much so, that DTU is the only Danish university to receive the ‘outstanding’ designation in the International Student Satisfaction Awards 2016.

The survey was conducted by The StudyPortals and is based on 15,965 reviews on SteXX.eu from international students spread across 153 European universities.

According to Morten Overgaard, who is Head of International Affairs, the recognition from international students is very gratifying,

"The word is out there: DTU is a really cool university in a really cool country."

"the gifted students who come to DTU from around the world really like what they find at DTU: dedicated faculty and staff, hands-on access to world class facilities and inter-disciplinary programmes that prepare them well for their future career as highly qualified professionals and entrepreneurs. DTU is recognized internationally for its research and now it's also recognized internationally as a university with a truly international learning environment."

In total, 14 universities out of the 153 have received an ‘Outstanding International Student Satisfaction’ award. The rest will have to make do with being labelled ‘excellent’ or ‘very good’.


Reviews by students

"The University is very well organized, with very good connection to the industry. The teachers are very willing to help the students and very polite. After the classes you get a really good grip of your field and feel confident about the job hunting."

 

"In September 2015, I've started MSc in Engineering Acoustics at DTU. That was so far the best decision in shaping education in my life! Innovative teaching methods, flexibility in choosing the courses and possibility to work on special, individual projects often in collaboration with the industry makes experience at the university unforgettable. Moreover, each student is treated here at the level of the engineer from the first day of studies, which allows to develop in many aspects and contribute to the research easily."

 

"DTU Denmark is a university which provides quality education and excellent collaboration between students and professors. During my 2 years master education there I had really nice time and got to know many of the professors and PhD students. The environment is very friendly and everyone is willing to help if you get stuck during a project or while writing your thesis. There are many activities where all professors, administrative staff and students get together and enjoy different kind of events, such as sports, parties, bbq grills, etc. I am giving 10 stars overall, prioritizing the education quality which is competitive with top world educational institution. Overall, I had 2 excellent years full of unforgettable experiences, but also a lot of hard work done. I am gladly recommending DTU if you would like to study engineering sciences."
