Explore our programmes and build your expertise in mechanical engineering, design, materials and advanced engineering systems. The three programmes below are based at SDU’s Odense campus and are taught in Danish. If you are looking for a programme taught in English, see the section further down this page.
Including courses for exchange students, SDU summer school for PhD students and other relevant information.
The three programmes above are taught in Danish. SDU also offers a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering taught entirely in English at the Sønderborg campus, covering energy systems, refrigeration technology, material characterisation and industrial structures.
See the entry requirements and admission for the Sønderborg programme.
MSc in Mechanical Engineering, Sønderborg
The fastest route into an engineering job: 3½ years including a full internship semester.
The academic route – the first three years of a five-year path, designed to continue directly into the Master’s programme.
Builds on either degree, deepens your specialisation and opens the door to a PhD.
With a Master’s degree you can continue into a PhD at SDU Mechanical Engineering. Our research spans structural dynamics and monitoring, multiscale thermal-fluid systems, materials technology, maritime technology, and multiphysics simulation, optimisation and experimentation – applied to everything from wind turbines and ships to energy systems and advanced materials.
Graduates from our programmes work as development and design engineers, project managers, consultants and researchers in companies that build medical technology, industrial equipment, energy systems and robotics. Others continue into a university PhD or an industrial PhD, or start their own engineering business.
Throughout the programmes you work on cases and projects with companies, so you build a professional network before you graduate.
