1. Welcome First of all, I would like to welcome you as an international exchange student at the Technical University of Denmark. As a leading university, DTU believes that it has an important role to play in the academic globalisation. Student and faculty exchange across borders is crucial for the free flow of ideas, inspiration and knowledge which is so important for scientific and technical advancement. By studying abroad and gaining personal experience of foreign cultures and languages, students can improve their ability to perform well in a global environment. DTU has the necessary resources to provide its Danish and international students with an education, which effectively prepares them for the challenges they will meet in international companies, organizations and markets. We have exchange agreements with about two hundred higher educational institutions from all over the world. Many of our faculty members have themselves research and teaching experience from abroad as well as ongoing international collaboration. Becoming a student at DTU means that you are embarking on an experience far greater than simply preparing for a career. University life will involve you not only in the acquisition of knowledge but also in the excitement of investigation, the pursuit of ideas and the satisfaction that comes from applying knowledge. University life is not only about study and hard work; it also involves meeting and learning from people from very diverse backgrounds. 3 During your time with us I hope that you will enjoy success in your studies and come to know and understand us better. The University offers a wide range of academic, cultural and recreational activities, and our location in the most attractive region north of Copenhagen gives our students easy access to nature, sport – and cultural activities as well as easy access to the exiting life of downtown Copenhagen.
