BSc in Engineering / Sønderborg

Programme structure

This is a three-year bachelor programme on top of which you can study a two-year master programme. The programme is taught in English. 

The programme consists of a combination of theoretical courses and practical project work in groups. Each semester includes a semester project, where you learn to apply the knowledge gained from the theoretical courses in practice.

During the semester you will be working with the following themes: 

  1. Discover the Electronic Development Process
  2. Build Industrial Electronics
  3. Develop Intelligent Dynamic Electronic Systems
  4. Design of Embedded Architectures
  5. Experts in Teams
  6. Bachelor Project and further specialization

In the first semester, you are introduced to the basic electronic components and how to analyse electronic circuits. You learn how to write a program for an embedded computer system, and you build up your knowledge in mathematics and physics.

In the second semester, you will learn about more advanced electronic circuits with active components, signal processing using electronic filters as well as more advanced mathematical tools for circuit analysis.
You will also learn about experiment design and how to write scientific documentation.

In the third semester, you will learn about electrical motors as well as the basics of electromagnetism and digital signal processing.

In the fourth semester, you will learn about digital design and expand your electronics knowledge working with more complex electronic systems such as power converters as well as learning control engineering. You will also be introduced to scientific publications.

The fifth semester is about interdisciplinary collaboration where you work in a project group with students from other engineering disciplines, and where you will combine your electronics expertise with their expertise within, e.g., mechanical engineering to develop a complex product. You will also learn about additional advanced mathematical tools and high frequency communication. You can also choose to study this semester abroad.

In the sixth semester, you will write your bachelor project while you learn about more advanced electromagnetics and control engineering systems that prepare you for further studies at a MSc programme.

You can read descriptions of the individual subjects by clicking on them in the study course diagram below. On mobile phones, the diagram is best viewed in landscape mode.

In your 5th semester, you have the opportunity to study abroad at a foreign university. You can choose either a university that SDU collaborates with, or you can choose to arrange your stay at another university. SDU collaborates with more than 200 partner universities, and we want to help you find the perfect place for you.

The rules for your degree are specified in the programmes’ curriculum, which is the formal description of your education.

The curriculum contains information about the purpose and structure of the programme, including which subject elements the program contains, whether there are opportunities for a semester abroad, project-oriented courses or similar, rules for conducting teaching and exams and rules for participation in exams, etc.

As a student, you are responsible for keeping yourself informed about the rules that apply to your programme. Therefore, it is important that you know the curriculum for your programme.

A subject description is a detailed description of a subject, where you can, for example read about the purpose of the subject, the content of the subject, including the form of teaching, the expected workload, and the exam in the subject.

Read course descriptions by clicking the course in the description above.

The programme lasts three years (six semesters) and is standardised at 180 ECTS - i.e. one year of full-time education amounts to 60 ECTS. The ECTS system is an international points system, and ECTS indicates the workload to which the completion of a given education is standardised.

The subjects in the bachelor programmes are typically examined at their completion, which means that you go to the exam in January and June.

Many different types of exams are used: written and oral exams, take-home exams and seminars and projects.

A seminar is a form of teaching and examination in which all students in the seminar circle must write an assignment. The assignments are then discussed in the seminar circle, and the students take turns defending their own assignment, opposing the assignment of others and being “general” discussion participants.

Read more about the individual examination forms in the individual subject description (see model above).

A Bachelor's degree is just the beginning of your education

The bachelor's programme lasts three years, after which you take the two-year master's programme to achieve a master’s degree in Electronics. A bachelor in Electronics will therefore often continue the programme with a relevant master's degree in, for example, Electronics in Sønderborg.
