Summer School: Telecommunication at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU)

The Section for Communication Technology at DTU Fotonik, Department of Photonics Engineering, offers international students a short summer course in July to August as part of the DTU Summer University program.

The idea of the course is to present DTU and especially DTU Fotonik to students that potentially would like to be guests of DTU. (Guest students may be at DTU for one semester or they may be enrolled in a two year M.Sc. programme, in this case the M.Sc. in Telecommunications)

Experimental demonstrations of the key principles of optical communication are done in fully equipped student and research laboratories. Each student will participate in two projects and will deliver a report and a presentation for each. The main learning principle is learning-by-doing. The necessary theory will be introduced before and during the project.

Alongside the educational activities there will be social arrangements together with other summer students at DTU.

Telecommunication Summer University

The main content of the Summer University of Telecommunication is focused on work within projects.

Examples of projects are:

Optical transmission systems
Wireless over fiber
Modelling and simulation of a communication network
Coding technologies for video

Entrance Requirements

The Summer University is aimed at students in the middle of a 5 year program for an Electronics, a Telecommunication, or a Computer Engineering degree. The students will be selected based upon grades in the courses that are relevant for telecommunication, i.e. such courses as “Computer Science”, “Information & Data transmission”, “Computer networks”, or “Telecommunications”. Note that the selection of projects may depend a little on your academic background.

There is a maximum of 30 seats in the summer university.

Application

Application deadline is April 30, 2012.
