What is an engineer in Welfare Technology?
The emphasis on the combination of welfare and technology has never been greater, among politicians as well as among ordinary people. That is one of the reasons why the University of Southern Denmark introduces a master of science in engineering degree in Welfare Technology. You will learn about the human anatomy, physiology and biomechanics and this knowledge will be combined with knowledge in engineering, IT and mechanics.
With a master degree in Welfare Technology you will, for example, be able to design a robot that can help rehabilitate accident victims. Or you could invent the intelligent plaster which would enable doctors to monitor the healing process. With this study programme you can specialise in either RoboMedic or Health IT.
Programme structure
A master of science in engineering degree is a two-year master programme on top of a three-year bachelor programme. Thus, you start with a bachelor degree in Welfare Technology or a relevant bachelor of science in engineering degree (3 years) or bachelor of engineering degree (3½ years).
