BEng in Electronics
What other engineers build; electronic engineers make intelligent. Are you one of them?
Engineers in electronics play an indispensable role in reducing CO2 emissions and making the transition to sustainable energy. Are you passionate about developing innovative electronic equipment? Then continue reading.
An electronics engineering degree from SDU gives you a wide range of career opportunities both in Denmark and abroad. There is a shortage of electronic engineers, and the skills you have developed will be sought after across a wide range of industries.
During the course of your studies, you will learn how to develop various types of electronic products, such as green energy systems including wind turbines and solar cells, robots, electric vehicles, or electronics for medical equipment.
You will gain knowledge of analogue and digital electronics, as well as the use of signal processing. Additionally, you will be taught how to develop advanced software and how to use computer-based modelling and simulation tools for electronic components and circuits. You will also learn to incorporate all relevant aspects, such as economics and environmental considerations, when developing new products.
Throughout the programme, you will work in project groups, collaborating with fellow students to solve real-world problems for companies through case-based projects. These projects will help you apply theoretical knowledge in practice and gain experience in project work, including project planning, risk assessment, and teamwork.
How is the programme structured?
The programme consists of a combination of theoretical courses and project work. Each semester focuses on a main theme, which serves as the foundation for both theoretical and project-based learning.
In the first semester, you will be introduced to basic electronic components and how to analyse electronic circuits. You will learn to develop a program for an embedded computer system and build your knowledge in mathematics and physics. During the second semester, you will delve deeper into advanced electronic circuits with active components used in signal processing and electronic filters, alongside more advanced mathematical tools for circuit analysis. The third semester builds upon your electronic knowledge, focusing on more complex electronic systems such as frequency converters and electric motors, as well as digital signal processing. In the fourth semester, you will further expand your electronics skills within power electronics and control engineering, as well as programmable hardware devices. The fifth semester is dedicated to interdisciplinary collaboration, where you will work on a group project with students from other engineering programmes, combining your knowledge of electronics with fields like mechanical engineering to develop a product. You also have the option to study abroad during this semester. In the sixth semester, as a bachelor of engineering student, you will complete an internship with a company, either in Denmark or abroad. The seventh and final semester is centered around your final project, which is often conducted in collaboration with a company.
- Transcript of Records – If you have not yet completed Secondary School, you must upload a transcript showing your current grades. You can find the transcript template here.
- Secondary School Leaving Certificate – If you have already completed Secondary School, you do not need to upload a separate transcript. Simply upload your Secondary School Leaving Certificate to the application.
Important! View the full requirements on the university’s official website. Requirements may vary depending on your nationality and the country where you completed your previous education.
UniTest – SDU requires applicants to pass an entrance test in order to successfully complete the application process. The test takes place online in March/April (the university will provide information about registration in advance). The test assesses reading comprehension and logical thinking skills.
Note:
- Engineering programmes require a high level of mathematics knowledge. If the university considers your grades too low, you may be asked to complete a special online course.
- A motivation letter is not a required document when applying to the programmes at this university.
You may not need to take IELTS or TOEFL. University usually allow you to prove your English proficiency in one of the following ways:
- English Language Hours – The total number of English language hours completed in Grades 10, 11 and 12 should be at least 210 hours (1 hour = 60 minutes), and the English grade should be at least 5 on a 10-point grading scale.
- TOEFL iBT*
- IELTS Academic
- A Cambridge English qualification
- A national English examination listed on your secondary school leaving certificate
- An English subject and grade on your secondary school leaving certificate that meet the university’s requirements
- Secondary education completed in English in a country or school qualification accepted by the university
- An International Baccalaureate (IB) or European Baccalaureate (EB) diploma
- Other
Important: Accepted methods and minimum results depend on study programme, your secondary school qualification and the country where you completed your education. Check the official requirements for your chosen study programme.
