Description    

This BSc programme has an interdisciplinary approach that focuses on the broad and general engineering competencies. The programme provides you with a solid grounding in mathematics, physics, and chemistry, and simultaneously teaches you to work across disciplines and apply them to solve actual problems.

Throughout the entire programme, you will work on design-build projects, which are practice-oriented, interdisciplinary group projects. Together with your group, you will propose an engineering solution to a specific problem from the real world. This will make you familiar with the engineering approach to solving problems, and teach you to communicate and work together with your group to find the best solutions in real-life settings. Put briefly: you learn to think and work like an engineer.


Career Opportunities 

graduates can apply for admission to a wide range of MSc programmes at DTU or other universities. Combined with an MSc programme, the General Engineering programmes give you a unique profile which makes you an attractive candidate for high-tech companies, where your experience with project work and multidisciplinary problem-solving in an international environment gives you the sought-after generalist profile needed in relation to modern society’s technologies.

Description

DTU’s main campus consists of more than 100 buildings on a 106-hectare plain, which is divided into four quadrants—just like points in a coordinate system. The campus is safe and secure, and a site of great natural beauty with wooded areas, sports fields, inner courtyards, and gardens.  

The campus is located within the Greater Copenhagen Area and is easily accessed by car or public transport. You can get from DTU to Copenhagen Center in about 40 minutes by bus or trian, 45 minutes by bike and 20 minutes by car.

Most of the DTU main campus was build in the 1960s and 1970s, but new and modern facilities have been build continuously. DTU is currently investing more than 500,000,000 EUR in a comprehensive transformation of the university buildings and infrastructure, which is aimed at providing world-class research and student facilities.
