What Technical University of Denmark DTU International Scholarship actually covers.
The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) awards a small number of prestigious international scholarships to exceptionally talented students from outside the EU/EEA who are admitted to full-degree master's programmes in engineering, natural sciences, and technology. DTU is consistently ranked among the world's top 100 technical universities and is a driving force behind Denmark's reputation as a global leader in sustainable energy, life sciences, food technology, and digital innovation. African students from all nations are eligible to apply, and the scholarship covers partial to full tuition fees depending on the programme and available budget. DTU administers the scholarships through the Danish Government Scholarship scheme, ensuring that awards are funded with the full backing of the Danish state. The scholarship application is generally embedded within the standard master's admissions process: applicants do not submit a separate scholarship form but are instead evaluated for merit-based support as part of their overall application. DTU runs two main application rounds each year, and active scholarship calls are published on the DTU student portal at student.dtu.dk under 'Grant Applications'. Students with backgrounds in engineering, physics, mathematics, computer science, food science, environmental engineering, and related fields are particularly competitive. DTU's strong industry links — including partnerships with Maersk, Novo Nordisk, Ørsted, and other global giants — provide scholarship holders with outstanding career opportunities in Denmark and internationally upon graduation.
