Summer University DTU

The DTU Summer University is an opportunity to take courses during the summer in one of the three teaching periods in June, July and August. Each session lasts three weeks.

The Summer University allows you to build up credits in advance to allow more time for other activities during the normal semesters, or to catch up if you have fallen behind or have failed exams and need to retake them.

The initiative also allows you to take courses that you would otherwise be unable to attend due to timetable conflicts.

Courses (except for retake courses) are taught in English.

Who can participate?

DTU Students: BSc, BEng, MSc, and PhD students
Students who need to take additional courses to be admitted to an MSc programme
International and Danish guest students
People interested in continuing education
