Studying abroad

A thorough description of the possibilities for studying abroad and the application deadlines can be found at  DTU’s website Studyabroad.dtu.dk and Beyondborders.dtu.dk

To be eligible for an exchange place, students must meet the following criteria:

• If you are enrolled in a BSc or BEng programme, you must have completed at least two years of study (approximately 120, minimum 110, ECTS credits) before the commencement of the exchange stay unless you are attending summer school abroad.
• You must be enrolled in an ordinary full-time DTU programme at the time of application and during the entire exchange stay. You must also have credit availability for transferring a minimum of 20 ECTS credits from your stay abroad.

You are expected to be full-time students (30 ECTS credits per semester). You must have space in your curriculum to obtain pre-approval and credit transfer of a minimum of 20 ECTS points from your study abroad. If you do not comply with this requirement, you may be requested to repay any grants received from DTU. All pre-approved courses that have been passed must be transferred to the study programme.

You must always comply with other study activity requirements and deadlines laid down by DTU, the host university, and other relevant bodies. Information on DTU's study activity requirements and deadlines is available on student.dtu.dk under 'Study rules/Rules for study activity requirements and deadlines'.

You are expected to pass and transfer at least 20 ECTS credits per semester (however, not students attending summer school abroad) and comply with other study activity requirements made by DTU, the host university, and other relevant bodies. Students who do not comply with this requirement may be requested to repay any grants received from DTU.

You must apply for a pre-approved credit transfer for planned programme elements from another institution of higher education in Denmark or abroad before the course/stay is commenced, unless it involves language courses and/or summer school stays. For further information, see the chapter about Credit transfers under the study programme.
