The MSc programme in Mechanical Engineering is aimed at students who want to participate in the development of new and better solutions based on the laws of mechanics.
Study Programme
Engineers with competencies in construction and mechanical engineering are involved in the development of new and better solutions for products, mechanical components, production equipment, and industrial installations.
The focus of the solutions may range from microstructures—such as parts for hearing aids or mobile phones—to engines, turbines, wind turbines, ships, and offshore structures.
The MSc programme in Mechanical Engineering and the related disciplines cover systematic engineering design methods within engineering design and product development as well as analysis, numerical simulation, and optimization with focus on the strength of structures, fluid flows, and energy conversion.
The study programme allows you to apply systematic engineering design methods and advanced mathematical models.
Applied mechanics is used in many contexts requiring extensive knowledge of physical principles, strength of structures, fluid flows, and energy conversion.
The teaching includes lectures, individual work, and class exercises in group meeting rooms, databars, and laboratories.
The final MSc thesis is related to the programme disciplines and is written in collaboration with an active research group or carried out as a project in collaboration with one of our business partners
You will have the opportunity to work in close collaboration with both Danish and international companies - either as part of the courses, as an individual project or while writing your thesis.
The MSc is a two-year graduate programme with a workload of 120 ECTS credit points.

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).
Language test requirements All applicants applying for admission to English-taught MSc programmes are legally required to provide documentation of English language proficiency comparable with English B-level from Danish upper-secondary school, as per Ministerial Order no. 40 of 20 January 2025 (BEK nr. 40 af 20/01/2025), paragraph 36.
You must upload the official score sheet to your application. Please note, DTU does not receive physical or digital tests from the test providers. It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure that an official score sheet is provided by the deadline.
DTU will not make any exceptions to the minimum test scores. If conditionally admitted students cannot meet them, DTU will not be able to enroll them.
Please note, TOEFL iBT and IELTS Academic are valid for 2 years.
* Only IELTS Academic tests are accepted. DTU does not accept IELTS One Skill Retake.
** DTU does not accept “My Best Scores”.
