No, not necessarily. The primary activity in the course is programming exercises, and you can get assistance from the teachers in the data bars or by asking questions on our online forum. We recommend that you show up for the introductory lecture and we require that you show up for the written exam. Other than that, you can follow this course remotely if you wish.
All the teaching material (including the final exam) is available in English, and all the teaching assistants speak English, so it should be no problem to follow the course without speaking Danish.
The course is 5 ECTS points, and the nominal workload is 140 hours.
The course runs in January, spring, June, August and autumn in DTUs normal semester structure. You can find information on DTU website (Academic Year). For the 3-week editions of the course, the course will usually start on the very first day of 3-week periode and occupy the entire day. For the 13-week editions, the course is scheduled on a specific day and the DTU course planner web site displays this information. The precise time and place will usually be communicated some days before the start of the course with a message in the DTU Inside group.

Usually we will answer your questions here on Piazza in the same language as you post - so Danish questions are answered in Danish and English questions are answered in English. The reason that we don't just do everything in English is that Danish students also have the right to get help in their own language.
Danish students are very welcome to write in English, so that your non-Danish classmates can follow the discussion also. Non-Danish students are also very welcome to ask for a followup answer in English or post their own questions in English.
The time and place of the exam is always communicated directly by the exam office. You can find this info on DTU Portalen. The most relevant pages are: eksamensplan.dtu.dk (requires login), Examination timetable and Academic calendar (Danish: Undervisningsåret).
Only the exam project and the written programming exam counts towards the final grade. The final grade is given as an overall assessment that takes into account both the quality of the project and the correctness of the programming exam hand-in.
The examination consists of two parts (the exam project and the written programming exam). To pass the course, both parts must be assessed as passed. If one part of the exam is not passed it must be taken again. For example, if your exam project is passed but you fail the written exam, you must attend a written re-examination.
You can attend a re-examination in connection with the next ordinary course examination. The course runs in January, spring, June, August, and fall semesters under different course numbers.
