Elective courses

Try to learn, what you cannot easily learn later

Can be used on TS courses

Be careful with course selection, all ECTS in excess of ~120 ECTS have to be paid for!

You will be employed on your engineering skills, not your project management skills (which your future employer may later pay you to acquire)

Kandidatkurser på bacheloren(only for DTU BSc students)

"Smøre madpakke" (optaget betinget på kandidatuddannelsen):ForudsætningskurserKurser der er svære at få ind i skemaetPatofysiologi

Brug af valgfri point på bachelorstudiet:Ikke svære kurser, for hvis de dumpes, så studieforlængendeIkke obligatoriske kurser

33/49


TS-course credits(summarizing)

Three ways to get credits towards the TS pool:Take courses from the pool of TS-coursesMake a special course (max 10 ECTS) within BME and have study plan acceptedTake BME courses at a foreign university (pre "credit transfer", forhåndsgodkendelse)

Studying abroadChoose the best. You are the customer!

Normally, biomedical engineering = TS courses:Accepted as TS courses: Bioinstrumentation, Medical imaging, etcNot accepted: Signal processing, Cell biology, etc

Predicting the future:Postponing a mandatory course (e.g., 31590)Not available => extra term needed

Spring semester can start early January:No 3-week course

Stay abroad just prior to master thesis: plan this before leaving

No re-exam is needed, if a course at a foreign university is failed

Start early:Respons time from Head of Studies > 0 sNot issuing English certificatesOther "document services" are limited
