The Technical University of Denmark - often simply referred to as DTU - was founded in 1829 at the initiative of Hans Christian Ørsted (the father of electromagnetism) to develop and create value using the natural sciences and the technical sciences to benefit society.
Today, DTU is ranked among Europe’s leading engineering institutions and recognized internationally as a leading university in the areas of the technical and natural sciences, renowned for its business-oriented approach, high level of international research, its sought-after graduates, and its focus on sustainability.
