Visiting professors are internationally renowned scientists from foreign universities or research institutes invited to give lectures to students in our degree and doctoral programs. They may teach individual modules within an existing course or conduct an entire course for a semester.

Visiting professors bring new experiences and expertise to students, collaborate scientifically with DSV faculty, conduct seminars, and offer new thesis opportunities.
