The overarching aim of the education is to provide candidates with science-based engineering skills for sustainable development of the blue economy.
There is a growing need, both in Denmark and abroad, for expertise in maritime industries - from off-shore energy, shipping, fisheries, marine spatial planning, and coastal engineering – sectors that are expected to grow in coming years. Science-based engineering solution for sustainable blue growth requires both an understanding of the marine environment – both its physical and living components – as well as the knowledge and skill to implement engineering solutions in a marine setting.
The marine environment presents enormous possibilities for development, the so-called blue economy. The oceans after all represent over 70% of the earth’s surface. However, it also provides ecosystem services that are often undervalued or overlooked. These include regulating global climate, a reservoir of biodiversity, and fisheries production. Responsible development of the blue economy requires both technical expertise and understanding of the ocean environment.
The MSc programme in Ocean Engineering thus covers a wide range of courses in these varied areas. The study programs integrates these into a set of highly valued competences.
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.

Candidates with other bachelor degrees (both Danish and foreign) are welcome to apply provided their BSc study contains the necessary prerequisite knowledge for MSc study. The evaluation of applications emphasizes courses in chemistry, physics, mathematics, ecology and environmental engineering / sciences. It is recommended that the students use some of their electives to obtain knowledge related to some aspect of ocean sciences and technologies e.g., fisheries, marine ecosystems, offshore construction or oceanography.
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.
