An array of exchange programs with internationally leading universities
The CDTM curriculum includes one term abroad during the program (optional for students that have been abroad for more than 4 months). CDTM complements students’ international ambitions by developing an array of exchange programs with internationally leading universities. Financial constraints shouldn’t prevent anyone from going abroad – that’s why CDTM helps its students to find suitable scholarships and provides backup funding when needed.
Currently, CDTM maintains exchange programs with the following institutions:
- University of California in Berkeley (UC Berkeley), Berkeley, USA
- Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), Pittsburgh, USA
- Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, USA
- Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan
- Columbia University, New York, USA
- Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Brisbane, Australia
- Telecom ParisTech, Paris, France
- Georgia Institute of Technology (GeorgiaTech), Atlanta, USA
- Institut National des Télécommunications (INT), Paris, France
- Stanford University, Stanford, USA
- University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia

Experience Another Culture of Working
Currently, CDTM supports its students in finding internship placement at internationally renowned companies of all industries. A wide network of cooperation partners, guest lecturers and alumni helps in evaluating what internship is the best fit for each individual student. Offers by partners are regularly posted via CDTM information channels.
CDTM is in the process of setting up a Global Internship Program. CDTM students will have access to a database, searchable by location, industry, and function. It is our mission to be able to provide every student with adequate placements during her or his stay at CDTM
