The DSE Fair’s main purpose is to give engineering students such as yourself the chance to make contact with companies that could end up being your future workplaces. The DSE Fair Lyngby is held at DTU and is attended by roughly 10,000 students and recent graduates. Over 150 companies, approximately 10 organisations and a handful of startups will be present.

Many of the companies bring their recruitment staff to the fair. If you’re looking for your first job out of university, you may want to try having a chat with one or several of these headhunters.

Some of the things you could ask about could be what kinds of candidates they’re currently looking for and may be looking for in the near future, or what specific professional skills and qualifications they need. You could then adapt your studies (or application) accordingly. Make contact with businesses at the fair and make sure to stay in touch with them.

There will be a number of company presentations at the fair that can help inspire you and perhaps answer some job-related questions. Following each presentation, you can have a chat with the presenters and perhaps even go through a short job interview with other companies and organisations attending the fair.

The fair is also a fantastic opportunity for accelerated networking. You can network and make contact with professionals working at engineering companies within your field.

If you have an amazing idea or concept that you’d like to get some feedback on, you can stop by the startup stand for lots of tips and helpful advice. If you haven’t come up with an idea just yet, you can talk to others with great ideas and perhaps join a group where you have something to contribute.
