It’s attractive to study at DTU. The number of quota 2 applications has increased by 23%, and of these, 30% more have DTU as their first priority. This trend is seen in both the bachelor's and bachelor of engineering programmes, and the increase is also significantly higher than nationally, where 4% more people have applied through quota 2 this year.
For the BSc Eng programmes, the General Engineering programme has attracted particularly many applicants. 916 people have applied for the programme, which provides a wide range of engineering skills and is the only one of DTU's bachelor's programmes that is taught in English – it attracts both Danish and international students.
In addition, there has been an 80% increase in the number of applicants for the digital programme Technology, which is a relatively new, primarily digital programme that was first offered in 2023.
The BEng programmes have seen an increase in the number of applicants by 26%. One of the biggest increases is Computer Engineering, which has more than doubled the number of applicants from 52 to 105. The programme takes place at DTU's campuses in Ballerup and Lyngby, where students learn to design, develop and implement intelligent functions in all types of devices and systems, from toys to washing machines, cars, security, personal medicine and much more.
The BEng programme Arctic Civil Engineering has also seen a 56% increase in applicants. The programme, which takes place at DTU's campus in Sisimiut, Greenland, trains students in how to create solutions for a changing Arctic and how to work as an engineer under extreme climatic conditions.
Lars D. Christoffersen, DTU's Dean of Dean of Studies and Student Affairs, is excited about the increase in quota 2 applicants:
“It cements our strong reputation as one of Europe's best engineering universities. The numbers show that our programmes are highly relevant to young people's everyday lives and meet the demands and expectations they have for the future labour market,” he says.
