The university’s main campus is based in Lyngby in the northern suburbs of the country’s capital, Copenhagen – a location which boasts great natural beauty and is surrounded by wooded areas, sports fields, inner courtyards, as well as tranquil gardens.
It’s also home to 11,538 students, 1,500 of which are PhD students. Combined with exchange students from roughly 180 partner universities around the world and 40 percent of the total cohort being international, DTU’s campus has a truly distinctive international atmosphere.
The campus is a 25-minute bus ride away from Copenhagen, allowing students the opportunity to enjoy the cultural and historical sights of the vibrantly sophisticated European capital. Not to mention getting to know the local Danes who rate themselves as the happiest people on earth, considering Denmark is one of the safest countries in the world!
When it comes to student accommodation at DTU, there are a number of options available: halls of residence, shared student housing, the Campus Village on the Lyngby campus, as well as private accommodation where you can rent a room in a regular family residence. More information about student accommodation can be found on the university’s website.
International students who enroll on the three-year BSc General Engineering program are guaranteed accommodation either at the university’s Ballerup campus or in the immediate area. To ensure guaranteed accommodation, you will need to make sure you submit your accommodation application before the deadline. Additional information is also available at DTU Housing Foundation here
