Study Programme The Engineering Physics degree programme focuses on physics as the basis of modern technology.
The leap from research to technological breakthrough is becoming ever smaller, and there is a growing need for engineers who can combine a strong scientific background with solid engineering skills.
As a physics engineer you can for example use your knowledge to further the green transition, or produce new technologies in the field of quantum communication. You might also work on manufacturing future microchips and optical components, developing medical research equipment, or developing new materials with specially designed properties.
During the programme you’ll learn to apply advanced theoretical, numerical, and experimental techniques in modern physics with a view to applying them for the benefit of society.
The MSc programme in Engineering Physics covers a wide range of technological, theoretical, and experimental techniques in modern physics. The applications include various topics, such as the development of nanostructured materials with tailor-made electrical, magnetic, optical, mechanical and chemical properties, manufacturing and integration of nano- and micro-components in systems design, modelling of complex biological systems, optical data processing and transfer, and the development of technologies for sourcing, storing, and converting sustainable energy—e.g. fuel cells and hydrogen technology.
In the course of the programme, you must carry out one or more experimental projects as part of a research group at DTU. In this way, you will gain basic theoretical competencies and experience with experimental work. You can prepare your final thesis in collaboration with one of our research groups or industrial partners, and—of course—under the supervision of a DTU professor or lecturer.
The MSc is a two-year graduate programme with a workload of 120 ECTS credit points.

International Applicants Applicants for admission to the MSc Eng programme in Engineering Physics should hold a bachelor of science degree in physics, physics engineering, microfabrication, or similar.
A strong, working knowledge of mathematics and physics is a prerequisite. A year's full time study at DTU amounts to 60 ECTS points. The MSc program builds on a bachelor curriculum with at least the following content of mathematics and natural sciences:
Mathematics: 25-30 ECTS (equivalent to these DTU courses)
Classical mechanics, electromagnetism, statistical physics and thermodynamics: 25 ECTS (equivalent to DTU courses)
Quantum mechanics, solid state physics: 15 ECTS (equivalent to DTU courses)
Nanofabrication, optics and photonics: 10 ECTS (equivalent to DTU courses)
Experimental methods in physics: 15 ECTS (equivalent to DTU courses)
A working knowledge at bachelor level of at least four of the following subjects is prerequisite for the central courses of the MSc-program:
Quantum mechanics
Solid state physics
Thermodynamics and statistical physics
Optics and photonics
Fabrication and visualisation of micro- and nanostructures
The required level may be gauged by comparison with the contents of the corresponding DTU-courses, although the exact contents will vary. The applicant should have passed the prerequisites with good results.
Admission will be decided on the basis of the relevance and quality of the applicant's educational background. The applicant's grade point average or equivalent, as well as individual grades for relevant courses will be taken into account.
Other applicants must be able to document that they possess corresponding qualifications and will be assessed individually.
General admission requirements Only applicants holding a relevant Bachelor of Science in Engineering, a Bachelor in Engineering (diplomingeniøruddannelse) or a Bachelor of Natural Science degree can be admitted to a Master of Science in Engineering programme. The bachelor's degree must be less than ten years old.
The individual MSc Eng programme states in detail which bachelor programmes qualify and whether applicants must complete supplementary educational activities.
Requirements for supplementary educational activities can equate to up to 30 ECTS credits and are specified as a list of courses under the individual MSc Eng programmes.
The specific requirements must be met before graduating from the bachelor's programme or in connection with conditional admission to a particular MSc Eng programme. The courses must be passed prior to the commencement of studies within one year from the conditional admission.
Supplementary educational activities in connection with conditional admission to an MSc Eng programme do not form part of the MSc Eng programme, and tuition fees are charged. If the supplementary courses have not been passed within the specified deadlines, the conditional admission to the programme is withdrawn.
The Master of Science in Engineering programmes are offered in English. Therefore applicants must demonstrate proficiency in English (B-level, IELTS, TOEFL, CAE).
