    Upcoming events

    Christmas lunch 2024


    January 18th 2025

    Every Christmas, the student organization makes an excuse to gather all in the maritime field with interest, old timers as well as current students, where we make a lovely Christmas lunch for dinner, to enjoy the night. This is event one might say is one of the important ones, as both students and the industry gets to interact in a completely unofficial way, simply through socializing with each other.

    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.
