A Master of Science in Engineering in Software Engineering (MSc in Eng. in Software Engineering) is acquired after 2 years of full-time study.
An Industrial Master of Science in Engineering in Software Engineering (Industrial MSc in Eng. in Software Engineering) is acquired after 4 years of part-time study – while being employed at a company (or own company).
This means, that companies can benefit from the newest research-based knowledge within 5 fields:
Modelling and simulation
Mobile and ubiquitous IT
Software Ecosystem
Data Science
Innovative software solution
The company can take advantage of the education by enhancing the qualifications of employees or hiring a new employee.
The study will be conducted physically at SDU, during day hours, as the Industrial MSc in Eng. student will follow the lessons of the full-time degree students.
For a successful progress, both time for studying and working must be prioritised.
Industrial Master of Science in Software Engineering Q&A
Industrial Master of Science in Engineering (Industrial MSc in Eng.) offers education on part time for people in work.
The industrial MSc in Eng. is approved by the Ministry of Higher Education and Science, in cases where under special circumstances the prolonged study time of the master’s degree has been permitted for MSc in Eng.
This means the company has the opportunity to employ Master Students.
The time of study is extended from 2 to 4 years and requires documentation of employment in a relevant position, working at a minimum of 25 hours per week.
Educational specialisation
At the programme, the student will learn how to create of state-of-the-art software products and services. Concurrently you will be taught how to improve existing products and services. Moreover, you will learn how to use technology in order to create effective solutions – not only from a technological view but also from the user’s perspective.
Five subject areas:
- Modelling and simulation
- Mobile and ubiquitous IT
- Software Ecosystem
- Data Science
- Innovative software solution
Project work during the studies can be cases from the company. This gives the company new competences to secure the future production.
Who is the programme targeted at?
The industrial MSc in Eng. is a unique offer for newly qualified Bachelor of Engineering/Bachelor of Science in Engineering, who would like to take a master’s degree while utilising their knowledge in practice at work.
The (Industrial) Master of Science in Engineering is also an offer for upgrading of qualifications of employees with a relevant Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSc in Eng.) or Bachelor of Engineering (BEng.)
Study-start at 1st of September.
You will find an overview of the programme structure here.
The programme is for free. The lessons will be conducted physically at SDU, during day hours, as the Industrial MSc in Eng. student will follow the lessons of the full-time degree students.
At the last semesters the study will focus on projects in the company – often in collaboration with fellow students from the 2-year master programme, who naturally do not have a company to do the project for.
For a successful progress, both time for studying and working must be prioritised.

Content and considerations
Content of the work should be relevant for the studies, and be arranged in a matter, where it is possible to follow the lessons, which experience shows, is possible.
Experience also shows it is practically impossible to follow the lessons while working 37 hour per week. For this reason, a reduced work load during the 15 weeks a semester lasts is nessecary, which leaves space for participating in lessons and studying.
The lessons will be scheduled during normal study hours.
Terms of employment
The terms of employment will be as for other employees in the company. The salary rate must be in accordance with a normal engineering salary, with possibility to regulate with consideration for the reduced work week.
Experience shows it is practically impossible to follow the lessons while working 37 hour per week. For this reason, a reduced work week, which leaves space for participating in lessons and studying, is recommended.
The programme is free, as the equivalent MSc in Eng.
Please note that the student is not entitled to receive SU at the Industrial MSc in Eng.
