What you will study
Applied Industrial Electronics is a three year bachelor's programme at Aalborg University in Esbjerg, taught in English. You learn to build the electronics and write the programming that controls machines, robots and industrial processes. The programme covers 180 ECTS and leads to a Bachelor of Science in Engineering.
What you study
The first four semesters give you a broad introduction to the field. Courses cover electronic systems, microprocessors, programming, mechanics and control systems. Alongside the courses you work on projects where you apply the theory to a real problem.
The first semester is about basic electronic systems, with courses in calculus, energy systems and electro physics, and problem-based learning. Your project could be to examine how a simple electronic system works, such as a doorbell or a Lego robot.
The second semester centres on microprocessors. You take introduction to electrical engineering, linear algebra, and real-time systems and graphical programming languages. In the project you build and program a mechatronic system, for example an electronically controlled dosing system or a football robot.
The third semester is about instrumentation, with AC circuit theory, applied engineering mathematics, and data structures and algorithms. Projects can look at battery storage for a solar cell system, design algorithms, or work out how a dimmer is dimensioned.
The fourth semester covers control and regulation: fundamental control theory, modelling and signal processing, and power electronics. You can model and control self-balancing robots, pendulums or a converter for a solar cell system.
In the fifth and sixth semesters you follow your chosen specialisation.
How the programme is organised
Teaching is built around problem-based learning. Each semester, courses take up half your study time and project work in self-selected groups takes the other half. You often work closely with research environments or companies, and on every semester you can do projects with experimental setups in laboratories.
This is a full-time programme. You are expected to be at the university on a daily basis for most of the day, working closely with other students. Field trips to industrial companies and guest lectures from people in industry are arranged during the programme.
The international environment means you also develop your language skills and intercultural competences. In the first weeks of the first semester you take a written commencement of studies exam, based on the introduction and your motivation. You must pass it, or a re-exam, to stay on the programme.
Who it suits
This suits you if you want to make things work: control a robotic arm, program a microprocessor, or design an electronic solution for a factory. You should be comfortable with mathematics, since it is a tool you use throughout. Group project work is central, so you should like solving problems together with others rather than only on your own.
The programme points toward automation, robotics, drones and energy, and the projects are based on current challenges in industry.
Admission, language and next steps
You need an upper secondary school exam, English B, Mathematics A with a minimum average grade of 4.0, and Physics B or Geoscience A. A, B and C refer to course levels, not grades. All applicants who meet the entry requirements are admitted, but from 2027 the programme is restricted in admission, so meeting the requirements will not guarantee a place.
Apply through optagelse.dk, the Danish Ministry of Education admissions portal. The admission area number is 26512. Applicants with a foreign entry examination must have their signed Signature Page received by the Admissions Office before 15 March at 12 noon. Students from outside the EU/EEA pay an application fee and tuition fee; students from the EU/EEA and Switzerland study free of charge.
After the bachelor's degree you can continue to a master's. The page names Advanced Power Electronics, Energy Engineering with a specialisation in Power Electronics and Drives, and Sustainable Energy Engineering with a specialisation in Offshore Energy Systems.
