• Bsc in Mekanik og Produktion, AAU (Esbjerg)
• BSc in Produktion og Konstruktion, DTU
• BSc/BEng in Mechatronics, SDU, provided you have passed the following courses: Solid Mechanics (SME) or Mechanics of Materials 1 (ME-MoM1), Fluid Mechanics (ME-FME) or Heat Transfer (ME-HT), Energy Systems (ME-ES) or Cooling and Heating Systems (ME-CHS)

You can apply if you hold a similar, relevant degree in Science or Engineering. To be considered, your degree must include a minimum of:

Language requirements

The programme is taught in English. If your Bachelor's Degree is not from SDU, you are required to submit proof of your proficiency in English. See the English language requirements.

Selection criteria

There is a limited number of study places. If there are more qualified applicants than study places, the selection of applicants without a legal claim will be based on an assessment of the academic level in relevant courses on your bachelor’s degree. The following criteria are included in the assessment:

1. Courses in the following subject areas (ECTS points)
   You will get one point if you have more ECTS in a subject area than required to meet the entry requirements. You can get up to 7 points in total.
   
   
   • Mathematics (1 point if more than 15 ECTS) 
   • Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Hydraulics and Heat transfer (1 point if more than 10 ECTS)
   • Statics, Mechanics of materials and Machine components (1 point if more than 10 ECTS)
   • Dynamics and Multibody Systems (1 point if more than 5 ECTS)
   • Programming and Machine Learning (1 point if more than 5 ECTS)
   • Energy Systems and Cooling and Heating systems (1 point if more than 5 ECTS)
   • Finite element methods and Computer Aided Engineering (1 point if more than 5 ECTS)
     
     
2. Grade point average of your qualifying degree (Danish 7-point grading scale)
   • GPA 7 (1 point)
   • GPA 10 (2 point)
   • GPA 12 (3 point)
