The Office for International Education at DTU are looking for a student coordinator to plan and execute Introduction Week.
Introduction Week is a platform for diversity and inclusion at DTU and is for anyone enrolled in their masters programme. Introduction Week therefore, has a broad target group: Local masters students, International Masters Students and exchange students . Typically, Introduction Week is planned as two parallel events Masters Students (a) and Exchange Students (b)
- Masters Students: the event must have relevance for all masters students at DTU i.e. it is an academic and social networking conference with strong academic content and room for creating inclusive communities.
- Exchange Students: the event must include elements to meet the students where they are: reflection over their exchange semester, expectations from themselves and DTU as well as have strong academic content and room for creating inclusive communities.
