About Technical University of Denmark
DTU was founded on 5 November 1829 by the physicist Hans Christian Ørsted as the Polytechnic College (Den Polytekniske Læreanstalt), and Ørsted led it until his death in 1851. It later moved from central Copenhagen to a large campus in Kongens Lyngby north of the city. It is Denmark's main technical university, covering engineering and the technical and natural sciences, with a focus on applied research and start-up support.
