MSc in Mechanical Engineering
Become an expert in analysing and designing mechanical structures
Innovative solutions require skilled engineers to ensure the products are safe, efficient, and sustainable. The complex requirements for modern products cannot be met without ingenuity, collaboration, and a solid theoretical professional foundation.
As a graduate engineer, MSc in mechanical engineering, you become an expert in analysing and solving structural problems. This can e.g., be when developing products, from simple appliances to High Tech products such as robots and windmills. The program gives you specialist knowledge which gives you exciting job opportunities.
During the program, through problem-based projects, you gain extensive knowledge of product development, technical analysis, and mechanical design. In addition, there is also a focus on welfare technology, sustainability, and production. This prepares you to work with the development and analysis of advanced technical products in a research and development department.
The program combines theoretical courses and practical project work. Through the program, you will be part of a project group that works with solutions for real development projects in collaboration with companies. The program is therefore aimed at those who like to immerse themselves in theory and would like to be a specialist.
Programme structure
The graduate program, MSc takes two years and builds on a relevant bachelor education, BSc, or BEng. At the master programme you choose one of two specializations:
- Fluid Mechanics and Energy
- Solid Mechanics and Materials
- ECTS transcript – If you are still completing your Bachelor’s degree, upload an ECTS transcript showing the subjects you have studied, your grades, and the number of credits awarded. Your Bachelor’s diploma must be uploaded later, as soon as you receive it.
- Bachelor’s diploma – If you have already graduated, upload your Bachelor’s diploma. A separate ECTS transcript is not required.
Note: Your Bachelor’s degree must be in the same or a related field as the Master’s programme you are applying for. The university will check whether you have completed enough relevant subjects and ECTS credits.
Important! View the full requirements on the university’s official website. Requirements may vary depending where you completed your bachelor education.
Applicants have to prove their English language skills either by an internationally recognized language test or upon previous studies. Usually English language skills can be proved by the following documents:
- TOEFL iBT*
- IELTS Academic
- A Cambridge English qualification
- Higher education degree completed in English
- Secondary education completed in English in a country or school qualification accepted by the university
- An English subject and grade on your secondary school leaving certificate that meet the university’s requirements
- Other
Important: Accepted methods and minimum results depend on study programme and the country where you completed your education. Check the official requirements for your chosen study programme.
