In spring 2016, DTU published a graduate and
employer survey. The graduates and employers
generally give a very positive assessment of the
MSc Eng programme and show, e.g., that:
Employment
DTU graduates find employment quickly, and their jobs
are in direct continuation of their MSc Eng programme.
The questionnaire showed that 42 per cent of the graduates
landed a job before they even graduates, and 85 per cent
found employment a mere six months after graduation.
Relation between MSc Eng programme
and first job
The students were also asked how their master’s
programme and their first job were related.
