For candidates aiming for admission into undergraduate and postgraduate programs, these latest updates open up major new pathways in emerging technologies, data science, and interdisciplinary fields.

Here is a comprehensive breakdown of everything new coming to DTU starting from the 2026-27 academic session.

DTU New Academic Programmes: At a Glance

To give you a quick bird’s-eye view, the university is rolling out these high-demand courses in a phased manner over the next two academic years:

1. Launch of Integrated BSc-MSc Programmes

Responding to the skyrocketing corporate demand for data professionals, DTU is officially introducing two new 5-year Integrated BSc-MSc dual degree programmes starting in the 2026-27 session:

In a massive boost for global education aspirants, DTU has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the University of Houston, USA. Under this unique 4+1 Accelerated BTech-MS program, students can complete their 4-year BTech degree at DTU and seamlessly transition to a 1-year Master of Science (MS) program in the US.

Eligible academic credits earned during the undergraduate years at DTU will be directly transferable to the University of Houston, cutting down both time and financial costs for studying abroad.

4. The Economics Double Major Track for BTech Students

To promote interdisciplinary learning, engineering students at DTU can now opt for a Double Major in Economics starting from the 2026-27 session. This track is uniquely curated to combine rigorous technical studies with analytical financial skills. The curriculum features cutting-edge domains such as:

• Economics of AI & Machine Learning for Economics

• High-Frequency Algorithmic Trading

• Game Theory and Mechanism Design

• Network and Platform Economics

Additional Skill-Based & Professional Courses

Beyond traditional degrees, DTU is catering to school students and working professionals alike with minor credentials:

• For Class 9 Students onwards: A six-week, 3-credit Certificate Course on Applied AI, Data Analytics, and Entrepreneurship.
