Why choose Mechatronics?
Mechatronics is for you if you want to make mechanics, electronics and software work together. On the programme, you learn to develop technologies that can sense, think and act – for example intelligent products, automated machines, robots and healthcare technology solutions.
The programme is interdisciplinary, so you learn to understand complex technical systems as a whole and make mechanical, electronic and software-based components function as one integrated solution.
The programme takes place in an international environment in Sønderborg with close links to industry. It gives you a business-oriented engineering profile and a strong platform for working with high-tech products, sustainable technologies, AI, autonomous systems and industrial automation.
Mechatronics is for you if you…
- want to combine mechanics, electronics and software in intelligent technological solutions
- are interested in robots, automation, autonomous systems, energy or healthcare technology
- want to work practically and through projects with real-world problems from industry
- want to understand both the technical details and the bigger picture in modern product development
What will you learn?
On Mechatronics, you learn to analyse, design and test products in which mechanics, electronics and software are integrated. You build a broad technical toolbox with subjects such as mechanics, electronics, programming, power electronics, thermodynamics and data-driven methods.
You learn to make machines and systems work intelligently together, so they respond precisely, efficiently and in a user-friendly way. This may be in robots, automated production systems, energy technologies, healthcare technology or other technical systems where several disciplines need to work together.
At the same time, you learn to think like an engineer: to understand the problem, analyse the options, choose the right technical solutions and develop products that can work in practice.
Teaching methods
Teaching combines theory and practice. You work on projects in every semester, and the projects are based on real-world problems from industry.
You work in teams and learn to collaborate across disciplines and cultures. Teaching takes place in English in an international study environment in Sønderborg. In the sixth semester, you can study abroad or begin specialising through electives, and the Bachelor’s project brings together your competences from the programme.
Teacher testimonial
“Mechatronics is not just a combination of disciplines – it is a way of thinking and developing. You learn to understand the bigger picture and speak to all types of engineers – and that makes you a key player in product development.”
- Andrei-Alexandru Popa, Associate Professor and Programme Director
