New maritime Bachelor of engineering line


DTU has established a new program "Maritim Teknik" which we are very excited about as the new line will make  the maritime line more visible to the students. At open house we from nul kryds  were very happy to see how many intersted guests we had, and how many joined our tour of our marine facilities at DTU. The line will be very similiar to the old "mechanical engineering with maritime specialization", and will have joint classes with the mechnaical engineering students. The line is different as it has more maritime mandatory courses, but still has a few courses of free choice, so each student can pick exactly what direction of the broad indusrtry they find interesting. The courses will be mostly in Ballerup campus, but the maritime courses will all take place in Lyngby.
