Two of DTU’s most important goals are increased internationalisation through the recruitment of excellent foreign students and development of an even closer collaboration with Danish and foreign campanies. DTU has now joined these ambitions in the “Student Sponsorship” program.
The program is based on the actual collaboration between a company and a research unit at DTU. The company will have the possibility of sponsoring a qualified foreign MSc student selected by the company together with DTU. The sponsorship amounts to DKK 60,000 and covers 24 months.
The sponsorship gives the company a chance to influence the choice of program courses by the student within the framework of the MSc program and to complete relevant projects, including the MSc project, in collaboration with the student.
The close relationship between company and student may form the basis for a continued collaboration after the student’s completion of the study program. This could be through employment in Denmark, in a subsidiary in the student’s home country or through further education such as a PhD student working on a project which is relevant to the company.
Companies that are not already active sponsors may join the “Student Sponsorship” program by contacting DTU’s Vice Dean for International Affairs, Hans Henrik Saxild (, +45 4525 1145 or +45 4053 1145) for further information.
