MSc in Engineering - Mechatronics 

Introduction to MSc in Engineering - Mechatronics

 With a master degree in Mechatronics you could, for example, make smaller and faster information technology products or create energy-saving products. Your thorough knowledge and understanding of Mechatronics enable you to create innovative technological solutions to everyday challenges. As a master student, you can specialize in two areas: Embedded Systems or Cyber-Physical Systems.

• Embedded Systems: Among other things, you will work with mathematical modelling to improve the product development of mechatronic and dynamic systems
• Cyber-Physical Systems: Enables you to develop advanced control systems that will meet future demands

You become part of a project-based and problem-based study environment where you work in project groups. You and your fellow students are responsible for planning and carrying out the project – and for meeting the deadlines. Usually, we receive the project outlines from companies and we emphasise that the problems you solve are ‘real-world’ problems.

The last semester is devoted to the master thesis, which will typically be carried out at or in cooperation with an industrial company.

The degree qualifies you for work in the development of user-friendly products of the future – products that combine technologies such as mechatronics, electronics and software; in industrial companies, among others.

With a master degree in Mechatronics, you acquire the ability to:

• think and work in a problem-based, project-oriented and interdisciplinary way
• work independently as well as in teams
• manage and be in charge of a project
• to employ your strong analytical and problem-solving skills to solve tasks in an international and social context
• exploit your knowledge about the needs of the business world and experience in working with high-tech companies.

You become a development engineer with special competencies in mechanics, electronics and software – and knowledge of the interplay between these disciplines. The study programmes qualify you to carry out, participate in or lead the development of mechatronic products.

Each year more than 1500 international students from all over the world choose to study at the University of Southern Denmark, so you will become part of a lively international student environment.

We believe that engineers of today must be able to master a global perspective and we encourage international as well as Danish students to spend one or two semesters abroad on an internship or as exchange students.

Faculty of Engineering has adopted a student-centred approach to learning, and teaching is based on problem-based project work. Students participate significantly in class and carry out project work in small teams.
