The road to becoming an engineer

There are two ways of becoming an engineer. You can either take a Bachelor of Engineering where you will be on the job market after 3½ years or you can take a Master of Science in Engineering which takes 5 years. Below you can read more about the difference between the two degrees and how the Bachelor of Engineering can provide you with the qualifications to then take a Master of Science in Engineering.

Bachelor of Engineering

The Bachelor of Engineering includes half a year’s internship in Denmark or abroad. The degree is vocationally oriented meaning that after 3½ years you will be ready to enter the job market. With a Bachelor of Engineering, you will be characterised as a problem solver who drives innovation and product development. The degree will also qualify you to continue your studies and take a Master of Science in Engineering. Complete list of Bachelor of Engineering programmes - Get started!

The MSc in Engineering often works within the fields of scientific research, development and innovation. Furthermore, as a MSc in Engineering, you will have great job opportunities to become a leader, consultant, or developer, etc. The Master of Science in Engineering programme consists of a three-year bachelor's degree (BSc) and a two-year master's degree (MSc).
