How is Electronics structured?

The BEng in Electronics is a three-and-a-half-year programme comprising seven semesters. It combines theory, laboratory work and projects, with roughly one third of each semester devoted to a semester project.

You study electrical engineering, autonomous and advanced electronic systems, cyber-physical systems, EMC and programmable electronics.

Semester 6 is a compulsory company internship, and Semester 7 concludes with a final engineering project.

The first year gives you a solid foundation in physics, mathematics and electrical engineering. You will learn programming, modelling and simulation and work with electronics, digital technology and microcontrollers.

The projects train you to develop autonomous electronic systems that can measure, collect, store and process data.

Before you start the programme, it is also possible to take a free brush-up course in mathematics, so you are fully prepared for the start of your studies.

 

In Year 2, you work with advanced electronic design and cyber-physical systems. You learn to analyse electrical signals and components, create mathematical models and simulate system dynamics.

You then develop digital signal-processing systems and complex microprocessor-based embedded solutions.

In Semester 5, you work with EMC, layout and programmable electronics and can choose specialisation, an interdisciplinary innovation project or an exchange period.

Semester 6 is a compulsory internship in Denmark or abroad. In Semester 7, a final engineering project brings your skills together, often in collaboration with your internship company.

A typical week

The schedule varies from week to week, but you should expect a workload equivalent to full-time study. A typical week combines classes in mathematics and electronics with programming exercises, lab work, project meetings, and independent preparation.

Choices and options

You can shape your profile through specialisation, interdisciplinary projects, an exchange period and the company internship.

In Semester 5, you can deepen your knowledge in selected areas of electronics.

You may complete Semester 5 at a university abroad, subject to prior approval.

Semester 6 is a compulsory company internship where you apply your knowledge to real tasks and build a professional network.

Semester 7 concludes with a final project, often in collaboration with your internship company.

Further study

The BEng is an independent, career-oriented degree, enabling you to enter the labour market after three and a half years. You may also apply for a relevant master's programme.

Possible master's programmes:

Admission depends on the current requirements of the individual programme; the BEng does not provide an automatic legal right of admission.

Academic culture in Denmark

Danish academic culture is characterised by active participation in class, group work and critical thinking. Rather than simply accumulating and reproducing knowledge, you will be expected to analyse, question and discuss the course topics.

The relationship between lecturers and students is often rather informal; students and lecturers may find themselves joking together and engaging in vigorous debates during classes and lectures.
