Mechanical Engineering

In the Mechanical Engineering programme, you will learn to develop and design industrial products and systems.

You will study fields like Fundamental Engineering, Design, Materials Science, Economics and Project Management. You will learn to include all relevant aspects from the first ideas to the final product.

The programme includes both compulsory and elective courses, for example:

• Mathematical Modelling
• Engineering Dynamics
• Production Technology
• Product Design
• Thermodynamics
• Mechatronics Design
• Engineering Vibrations
• Engineering Economy
• Analysis & Design of Energy Systems

There is also a ½-year internship, in a company either in Denmark or abroad.

Teaching varies between lectures and class instruction. In addition, there is often project-oriented group work together with other students. Students are encouraged to participate in class discussions.

The general admission requirements for international students include one of the following international certificates: the Danish/French Baccalauréat (DFB), the European Baccalaureate (EB), the International Baccalaureate (IB), the Option Internationale du Baccalauréat (OIB) or another foreign qualifying examination certificate that can be equated with a Danish upper secondary school leaving certificate.

In addition, documentation may be required verifying your proficiency in English is at a specified level.

Contact the educational institution to which you wish to apply for detailed information on entry requirements and required English proficiency levels.

To find out whether the level of your foreign certificate satifies the general entry requirements, see the Danish Agency for International Education.

The application deadline is March 15 for a course start the following February. Admission is handled through The Danish Coordinated Application System. You can apply via optagelse.dk.

A few educational institutions offer a course start in February, where applications are sent directly to the institution. Contact the educational institution for detailed information on application deadlines.

Exchange students should contact their home institution for information on application procedures and deadlines.
