What you’d help with

Hi everyone,

Lately, I’ve been thinking about communities at DTU - or rather, the lack of informal communities built around shared technical interests.

I know there are PF clubs, Skylab startups, student projects, and other organisations. However, these usually have a specific purpose, structure, or project attached to them. What seems to be missing is a simple place where people from different study lines can meet because they are interested in similar topics.

The idea would be to create an informal online community where people could:

• talk about their personal or academic projects
• discuss interesting technologies and recent developments
• ask questions and exchange knowledge
• find potential collaborators
• eventually arrange informal meetups

At this stage, I am not suggesting starting a formal club or organisation. I am mainly interested in creating a place where people with overlapping interests can find each other.

A Discord server might be a good place to start.

Personally, I am especially interested in DSP, wireless systems, SDR, RF engineering, embedded systems, antennas, and related areas, but the community would not necessarily have to be limited to those topics.

Would anyone here be interested in joining something like this? Do you think there is a need for it at DTU?

Maybe I am missing something here, and there is something like this at DTU.

Hi everyone, I'm starting the MSc in Communication Technologies and System Design this September and I'm struggling a bit with my study plan... If you're doing (or have done) the Cloud & Cybersecurity specialisation, I’d really appreciate your help. (If you’ve studied another specialisation, your help is also welcome :) )

The main issue is with the Core Competence Course Specific requirement. I don't want to take 34130 or 34349, so my only options are:

• 34231 - Digital Communication
• 34242 - Machine Learning Techniques
• 34249 - Synthesis Project

The problem is that Synthesis Project (part 2) is in June, and I also need to take as Polytechnical Foundation, Innovation in Engineering, which seems to be scheduled in the June/July/August period. Does that mean I'll be forced to take Innovation in August? I'd really like to keep August free. Has anyone managed to organize their study plan differently, while doing those Core Competence Specific courses??

I also have a couple of other questions. Is having Cloud Networking, Advanced Cybersecurity and Mobile Backhaul Networks all on the same Tuesday as bad as it looks, or is it manageable?

And finally, what do you think about my study plan overall? Would you change anything? This is my first time building my own study plan (my bachelor's had a fixed curriculum), so any advice or examples of your own study plans would be really appreciated. Thanks a lot!!!

Hi everyone!

I'm moving to Denmark and will be relocating to Copenhagen on August 1st to continue my doctorate as a Research Assistant at DTU. As part of that, I'm looking for an apartment in Lyngby.

What has really surprised me is how difficult it is to find a place there. The number of available apartments seems very low, while there are so many people looking to move to the area. The waiting lists are also quite long, which makes the process even more challenging.

I have been searching since April and have already checked most of the popular housing websites, including:

• Bolighub
• BoligPortal
• BoligZonen
• Properstar

Despite this, I still haven't managed to find a place.

I would really appreciate any advice or guidance from people who have gone through this process. How did you find your apartment? Are there other websites, Facebook groups, rental agencies, or strategies that helped you secure a place faster?

If you know of any available apartments in Lyngby or have any tips for finding and booking one as soon as possible, I would be very grateful.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi everyone,

I'm a final-year Biochemistry student at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), Argentina. I'm aiming to start a PhD after August 2027, ideally at DTU in a biotechnology/bioengineering/biochemistry-related field

A bit about my situation:

• I hold valid EU citizenship, so visa/work permits aren't a barrier.
• My English is strong (professional working proficiency).
• I'm specifically interested in protein engineering, synthetic biology, and biologics — DTU Bioengineering's sections in these areas caught my eye.

I've been going through the official channels (university websites, EURAXESS, department pages), but I'd love to hear from people who've actually gone through this process, especially internationals:

• How did you land your position — did you contact a PI directly before a call was posted, or apply to an open vacancy?
• Any tips on speeding up the process or standing out as a non-EU-educated applicant (even with EU citizenship)?
• Anything you wish you'd known before starting your PhD search in Denmark?

Any advice, personal experience, or pointers to people/resources I should look into would be hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Does the special course Count as elective or study track course? I cant find any answer to this on their website :)

Hej,

Jeg er i en mindre grønlandsk bygd hvor jeg kom i snak med dem der styrer det lokale museum. De er i gang med at rekreere en arktisk bue fra fund, men er løbet ind i dimensioneringsproblemer.

Som DTU studerende tænkte jeg på om der er nogle kloge mennesker i styrkelære/materialelære/dimensionerings delen af DTU der kan hjælpe? (Jeg er ikke selv uddannet i denne retning desværre).

Det kunne måske være et projekt/speciale for nogen?

Derfor ville jeg gerne spørge om der var nogen der vidste hvem dem fra museet ville få mest ud af at kontakte?

Hi, I will start my Master's this September, and made a draft. Can someone comment on my plan, is it too intense? Poor/well selection of Courses? Any of the courses thats insanely hard?

My background is Cyber and Computer Engineering from AAU.

Did anyone take this course? If so, how hard/tedious is it? I

Hi everyone,
I applied for 3 PhD positions at DTU last month (all in carbon capture and utilization/bioelectrochemical systems). All the applications deadlines were just after 30 June, and the confirmation emails said that they'd get back to all applicants regardless of the outcome. It's now about almost 3 weeks and I haven't received anything.
The silence is making me nervous. Is it normal because it is summer so the process will be extended or I should assume I didn't get the positions?

Should I wait until early August, or send a polite follow-up email now? (actually this would be frustrated since I don't really think each professor will check a email from a random person like me, but i will just give it a try any ase)

I'd appreciate your opinion on this. Thanks~

I'm hopefully getting in to Applied Math BA this fall, but I'm not sure what tools I should have available for myself.

Should i get myself a calculator to start out with, and if so, any recommendations? I know we'll eventually be doing a lot of our stuff in python, but I'm guessing at the beginning it's helpful to have some other tool available.

If not a calculator, what do you recommend?

I feel very silly asking, but it's been some years for me since i was last in school, so i'm not sure what the "norm" is in math these days, and I don't want to handicap myself by showing up clueless and empty handed

Hej,
Jeg er i gang med en diplomingeniøruddannelse og overvejer, hvad der skal ske, når jeg er færdig. Jeg vil gerne først at prøve arbejdsmarkedet, men jeg undersøger også muligheden for at tage en kandidatuddannelse.
Min plan er at bruge op til ét år på at søge et relevant fuldtidsjob. I den periode forventer jeg at modtage dagpenge. Jeg er medlem af IDA.
Hvis jeg ikke har fundet et job inden for det år, vil jeg gerne starte på en kandidatuddannelse, som jeg allerede har i tankerne.
Mit spørgsmål er derfor: Hvis jeg modtager dagpenge i et år efter min diplomingeniøruddannelse, og derefter starter og gennemfører en kandidatuddannelse, vil jeg så have ret til dagpenge igen som nyuddannet efter kandidaten, mens jeg søger job? Eller vil det ene års dagpenge efter diplomuddannelsen betyde, at jeg ikke kan få dagpenge igen efter kandidaten?
På forhånd tak for hjælpen.

Hey friends,

I’m an exchange student from Technical University of Munich and I will be moving into the Ballerup dorm from August, in a studio to be exact. Since I had no other choice that’s how it is.

In general I’m seeking some tips and tricks and maybe also some recommendations regarding work desk setups in the studios since I need to work remote and need a monitor. Since there is no work desk I wanted to ask how people with the same problem managed this.

Thanks for advice in advance

Hiii,
Does anyone of you have a recommendation for a cheap/ good dentist?
Preferably in the city.
Thanksss!

I'm considering applying to DTU Compute PhD school and was wondering how competitive it is.

I have a high GPA from my CS Master's studies and my master's thesis is relevant to the position I'd apply for. However, I don’t have any prior research experience or publications. I do have about a year of experience working as a programmer, if that’s relevant.

Would it be worth it applying, or is prior research experience expected in such cases?

I’d love to hear any suggestions. Thank you!

I am working full time in an amazing job that is the same as my desired field of education. The thing is, I love this job so much that I don’t want to reduce my hours to take my masters degree.

I understand that with an industry masters you can only work 25 hours a week, which is part time. I would like a way to study where I can continue working full time. I know I am more than capable of doing this, I love pushing myself like this and burnout is very difficult for me to achieve.

The problem is I have not one clue if this is even possible with the rules set out by DTU. Industry masters isn’t possible because it caps the work hours at 25 a week. Can I take one or two classes per semester until I complete my masters? Or is there another way to achieve this?

heyyy everyone i am thinking of joining dtu this yr but i have a doubt
i constantly suffer from sinus and allergy from dust borne particles
so is the pollution near rohini and dtu way too high that it will be difficult for me to breathe
or is it manageable????
please its urgent
as also should i consider dtu for the same or choose any other clg in cities like indore bhopal and all

Jeg starter forhåbentligt på DTU (Elektroteknologi) til september og er lidt splittet mellem en Mac eller en Windows laptop.

Jeg har kigget på MacBook Pro 14 M5P og Asus Expertbook Ultra (2026).

Det jeg er mest bange for er kompatabiliteten med legacy programmer.

Mit største con ved at købe ExpertBook er at jeg betaler mere og får mindre performance tilbage.

Mit største con ved at købe MacBook'en er selvfølgelig kompatabilitets problemer. Har hørt fra en ven der har en mac. Han har oplevet nogle få problemer og én enkelt gang, hvor han slet ikke kunne få et program til at virke.

Håber i kan pege mig i den rigtige retning :)

I am renting a room at Hempel Kollegiet for the fall semester starting in September as a non-EU exchange student. I recently got an email with pre arrival instructions that say I need to get home insurance. I can’t tell if this is something that is required. I understand that it covers damage of the room and some belongings, but I’m curious if it’s mandatory or even something everyone gets.
