Course and housing registration for international MSc students In the programme description for each international MSc programme you will find a list of available courses that you can sign up for. Please note that each programme contains a number of mandatory courses. With your acceptance letter you will receive a course registration form and an accommodation form. The course registration form and the accommodation form must be completed and returned to DTU’s International Office before July 15. Please note that you only have to use the course registration form to sign up for the first semester. Thereafter you are requested to sign up via the Campusnet ( A description of the Campusnet can be found later in this chapter). Courses in English You will find the list of courses to choose from in DTU’s course catalogues (available from the Internet at www.dtu.dk direct link www.kurser.dtu.dk ). Since DTU offers a new selection of courses each semester, please make sure you have the latest edition. When reading a description of available courses, please pay special attention to: 1. Prerequisites: the courses you must previously have taken or the level you must have achieved in previous courses. 2. In the course catalogue (www.kurser.dtu.dk) we differ between courses taught in English or in Danish. Only courses with language of instruction in English are completely or partly taught in English. If language of instruction is set to Danish, only people with prior knowledge of Danish can follow these courses. 3. Timetable group: The week is divided into 10 modules. A 5 point ECTS course covers one group, e.g. 1A, while a 10 point ECTS course covers 2 groups, e.g. 1A and 1B. Under timetable group there might be written E or F. E stands for autumn and F stands for spring. Projects - special courses for international exchange students Some international exchange students ask whether it is possible to take special courses, do special projects, etc. It is possible - if you can get a DTU professor to go along with it. If none of the professors at your university can suggest a name, then the best thing to do is to contact the head of the DTU department you are interested in and ask. With your written request, you should enclose your transcript, CV and a description of the subject/project form you are interested in. You can also browse the department homepage where there are suggestions for projects. A list of departments can be found at http://www.adm.dtu.dk/institutter/index_e.htm Timetable Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday 8.00am – 12.00am 1A 3A 5A 2B 4B 12.00a.m – 13.00a.m Pause Pause Pause Pause Pause 13.00pm - 17pm 2A 4A 5B 1B 3B 19 Academic counselling If you need academic counselling (you have questions about course content, prerequisites, etc.), contact the DTU professor who gives the course or the contact person specified for the international MSc programme.
