Course recommendations:
I would recommend to apply as soon as possible to courses since the cool ones can get pretty fast overbooked. As for the subjects I chose, I took three subjects which were far from what I was taking in my home country. They were not about numbers and calculations niether programming.But still they had something in common with the IT world. All three subjects I highly recommend for people who would like to have a rest from programming and mathematics for a while and have some more time to see more of the country. Standardization in Telecommunication: It is about standards in our everyday life. Intranet in the Virtual organization: also interesting subject about communication between people using the intranet. Strategy and Planning: this is a good subject if you are planning to manage a company some day. As for the rest of the programs I chose Real Time Systems. Noe here there is a little more of thinking but it is a very interesting subject about automatas. Embedded Systems: This is a subject I would prefer not to have. Lectures are boring however the labs are interesting but still a lot of electronics and cables which is not for me

Personal comments:
I'm very satisfied with all the things right here. But if I would have had to stay more than 6 monthes here then I would have prefered to pay some more money and get a better place to live in. You know with some higher standard Microwave,TV,a better looking toilet.

Course recommendations:
Many Danish students continued to speak in DANISH even after their teachers asked them to speak in English, as our classes were in English. They even protested having to work with international students in groups. I found that very offensive, and chose to stay with international students. However, there were also many nice Danish students.. you just have to be lucky in who you meet. Anyway, emphasis is placed on group work so make sure you choose wisely because there will be a lot of work!

Personal comments:
Some of the projects were quite hard, but teachers were usually very helpful. I preferred classes that did not put 100% of the grade on an exam. But you can choose what type of grading you want in a class before you register, so you will know beforehand how you will be graded.

Course recommendations:
The approachability of lecturers varied greatly - some were fantastic and always ready to help out with whatever problems you had whilst others were very reluctant to help when you really needed it.

Personal comments:
Inform incoming students of the volume of work expected of them in a single course, to earn the credits I required at my home university I had to take 6 courses, which proved difficult in terms of studying for exams and completion of coursework throughout the semester. Perhaps if I had known about the amount of coursework involved I could have arranged to take fewer classes whilst on exchange.

Course recommendations:
All the engineering courses that I had taken were pretty good, and interesting. Some of them could have been more fun, but generally there was no problem.

Personal comments:
As we international students had various experiences of how to study, it did take a while to get into the Danish way of studying. More guidance would have been nice, especially as there is so much else in the country that foreigners are seeing - as well as the studying!

Course recommendations:
There wasn't a big range of courses in my area (software), so I just studied random subjects (e.g. logistics and transport, international development co-operation). It was a bit hard to engage with the local students, they were a bit reserved.

Personal comments:
I wasn't really there to study, so it was fine. It would be nice if the Danish students were a bit more open. :)

Course recommendations:
The curriculum should be updated according to the new opening courses. So far we have a rather odd rule. Students rarely can earn official credits by taking the new announced courses. It is simply because these courses did not exist on the fixed curriculum at the time they were admitted.

Personal comments:
See my recommendation regarding the course structure.

Course recommendations:
Be careful when you choose the courses: some 10 credit courses are really worth 5 in terms of work and others of 5 may be 10 ou 20 credits in terms of work.

Personal comments:
The liberty given with the reports that you do along the semester and no exam, goes with the responsability of your work and discipline. But I liked it.

Course recommendations:
Because my home university was just for "undergraduates" while DTU only had a combined undergraduate/graduate program, I made a mistake in choosing some of my classes because I ended up taking courses that were WAY beyond my level but it really could not have been avoided; the set-up up highschool vs. Danish gymnasium and then university is quite different in the two schools/nations.

Personal comments:
Make sure you don't goof off during the semester since there's only ONE exam (for most classes) at the end of the course...

Course recommendations:
coming from mechanical engineering school, i choose very interesting course abouit management, environment and international cooperation!

Personal comments:
the only thing i regret is that some teachers couldn't make you interested in their lectures... but that's a comments i could do everywhere i think...

Course recommendations:
Do not choose course Data Communications with Hani Kamel. It is better to read the book youreslf becouse the theacher is giving lectures using only one book.

Personal comments:
Giving topics of final projects earlier not three weeks before the end since then you have less time for several courses.

Course recommendations:
There should be more copies of courses textbooks in the library for consulting, as they were so expensive to buy for an international student.

Personal comments:
More frequent public transport from university to Copenhagen at nights on weekdays.

Course recommendations:
Get more physics courses!

Personal comments:
Don't really like oral exams. They don't show any in-depth knowledge. If you can talk superficially about a subject for 20 mins then it's enough.

Course recommendations:
In fact i did a master thesis so I did not have any courses. So please ignore the answers to the 2 first lines of question 1 on this page.

Personal comments:
No, keep up the good work.

Course recommendations:
Is possible to choose courses from several departments. The choice is wide, and even in some of the courses teached in dansk is possible to find a way to follwed for the students that don't speak dansk.

Personal comments:
More coperation between the international students and the danish students.

Course recommendations:
The configuration of courses in DTU are quite flexible. For example, students could ask the special courses which are interesting for themselves.

Personal comments:
The teachers should be very prepared for the courses, so that we as the students easily to have enough materials to read.

Course recommendations:
Not really, just work hard on the reports and interact with the teachers as much as possible since they're always really nice and happy to give help!

Personal comments:
The only thing that was missin was having a student life comprehensive of local students...

Course recommendations:
the best thing to do to choose the rigth course is:check always in which language they will teach and contact the teachers directly

Personal comments:
none

Course recommendations:
the integration with international students might work better, if teachers try something to integrate the new students from abroad

Personal comments:
none

Course recommendations:
The more basic courses (of 10 ECTS) are far more rewarding. Of course, they require more work. Better focus on them.

Personal comments:
The DTU has a very good ratio of teachers:students. Resources are ample and the university is very well organised.

Course recommendations:
Pay attention to the final projects: sometimes they seem simple, but then you discover they are terribly long and hard to finish!
