New at DTU - intro for BSc students

Welcome as a new student at DTU! It takes time to settle into a new education. At DTU, we, therefore, regard the study start as the period from when you are admitted up to and including the first six months of the programme. During that period, we have several offers that introduce you to your new life as a student at DTU.

Your study start begins in “How to DTU”

The digital study start course “How to DTU” takes you through everything you need to know to get off to a good start with your student life at DTU.

In “How to DTU”, you meet your head of study and others that are relevant to you in your study start and throughout your time at DTU. You get practical information about starting your studies, an introduction to the rules and framework for your education, and tips and tricks to get the best out of your studies and to create a good student life.

How to log in to “How to DTU”

You log in to “How to DTU” with your DTU account, which you can activate once you have accepted your study place. It is stated in your admission letter how you do this.

Brush-up courses in mathematics

Mathematics is fundamental to the teaching at DTU’s study programmes, and high demands are placed on you as a student. That is why DTU offers brush-up courses in mathematics, and we expect you to take at least our online course in mathematics before starting your studies.

You will meet the volunteers in the digital study start course, on campus for the welcome day and intro day. You will also be part of a structured group where you can meet your fellow students and the volunteer assigned to your group.
