What are PF’s Introduction Days?
Polyteknisk Forening (PF) organizes the introduction right before the semester begins in order to give you and your fellow students a good start at DTU. During the introduction, you will meet other people who, like you, are new students. In 2024 The first introduction day is 28th of August for the summer start.
On all of our introduction days, we put emphasis on creating bonds between the new students in a fun environment. Our activities are varied and include both social and academic content. The special thing about the study start at DTU is, that you will get to meet people from all over DTU, and not just your own study line. This will give you a good network from the beginning. Therefore, when you during the semester walk around campus, you will meet familiar faces.
What does the Introduction Days include?
The Introduction Days in 2024 happens over 3 exciting days from 29/8-31/8, where we will give you an introduction to life at DTU, the line that you will study, and introduce you to other students who both study the same as you and something different from you.
The Introduction Days have both social and educational activities. The educational activities vary between the study lines and is planned with your Head of Studies. Here you can get an introduction to your new study, a tour of campus and many other things that are relevant for you as a new student.
