Entry qualification	Undergraduate diploma (or higher) The following Bachelor’s degrees qualify students for admission to the Master of science in Engineering degree programme in Mechanical Engineering if mathematical competencies in extent and content equal to at least 20 ECTS on Bachelor level in Calculus, Ordinary Differential Equations, Systems of Ordinary Differential Equations, Partial Differential Equations, Vector Differential- and Vector Integral Equations can be documented. A Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering or Mechanics from a Danish university. A Bachelor of Engineering degree in Mechanical Engineering from a Danish University or University School of Engineering. A Bachelor Degree with at least 60 ECTS in the field of mechanical engineering can provide admission, provided that the academic requirements for the graduate engineer degree programme are met. Other qualifications can provide admission to the graduate engineer degree programme, provided the university assesses that their level, extent and content correspond to the degrees mentioned above. NB! the programme only admits a limited number of students. Evaluation is made on the basis of the average mark (i.e. GPA) of the Bachelor’s degree at the time of application.

If this is not the case, you will need official translations along with verified copies of the original. If the documents mentioned above are not in Danish, Norwegian, Swedish or English, they must be accompanied by translations into English. Diplomas and transcripts must always be translated into English and certified by either your home institution or a certified translator. If your university does not provide official course descriptions in English, your course descriptions may be translated by yourself, but the translations must always be certified by your home institution. Documents translated by a certified translator should always be certified. You must take verified copies of the entry qualification documents along with you when you finally go to the university.

Overview

How do you design the blades of a wind turbine? How do you calculate the lifetime of a computer chip or a fuel cell? How do you analyse the dynamics of a racing car? These are just some of the questions the MSc in Mechanical Engineering programme explores.

The programme provides students with the opportunity to apply theory to practical issues, with scope for interdisciplinary collaboration. You will gain a sound understanding of advanced calculation methodologies, such as the finite element method (FEM) and multidisciplinary simulation tools. You will study topics such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD), structural dynamics and modal analysis, and fracture mechanics and fatigue. The basis for these competencies includes continuum mechanics, elasticity theory and plasticity theory.

Career opportunities

Graduates find work in a wide range of fields, from basic engineering or science research in joint projects involving research institutes and the industrial sector, to research and development projects in the industry. Many graduates of MSc Mechanical Engineering have gone on to working within research and development departments at industrial enterprises, whilst others choose to do a PhD in Denmark or abroad
