Student Projects

Student projects at DTU Management 

During their courses of study, the students engage in many academic projects that often find their starting points in tasks and problems within the business world. Approximately 110 final projects are completed annually and they typically have a duration of 6–12 months.

When collaborating with a student, a supervisor will be at their disposal and your company is responsible for defining the project, e.g., data, attending meetings during the project and potentially implementing the project's results. However, you decide to what extent your company will engage in the solution and its implementation.

There are many examples of companies that have achieved very good results by collaborating with students.

What does a student project comprise?

Your company is the basis for the project when you decide to collaborate with a student. Therefore, a student project will often comprise a research question based on the company, a literature review, a compilation of information and an analysis. The project subsequently will be completed by answering the research question.

Examples of possible subjects for student projects include the development of technologies, approaches/methods, product improvements, planning and management etc. 

If the project has demonstrated that it has elicited innovative solutions/improvements, your company can arrange a development project at DTU Management. Staff members then will conduct further development work.

If you are interested in learning more about the advantages that your company can reap by collaborating with a student, you are welcome to contact study secretary Louise Kronborg at lkron@dtu.dk.
