Master in Management Engineering

Master in Management Engineering is one of 16 English-taught Engineering programmes at Master's Degree level in the register, offered by 4 institutions. 7 of them list an annual fee for students from outside the EU, EEA and Switzerland, from EUR 3,515 to EUR 17,300; this programme lists EUR 7,455 a year. 6 are recorded as free for EU, EEA and Swiss students.

Management Engineering at Aalborg University sits where technology meets the running of a business. You learn to analyse technological and organisational systems and to design solutions that create value, with attention to sustainability, digitalisation and innovation. The programme is taught in English and built around problem-based project work in groups.

What you study

The teaching draws on data analytics, information systems, advanced technology and management theory. The aim is to improve how organisations work, in service, healthcare and manufacturing industries. Projects can take up production optimisation, digitalisation, decision models, risk management or sustainable operations. You also work on supply chains, value chains and management systems in complex organisations.

The programme is organised into two overlapping specialisations, and you choose one when you enter. The page does not name them individually, so check the curriculum for the details.

How the programme is organised

It is a two-year master's degree. Much of the work is practice-oriented cases done in groups, and you collaborate with companies regularly, mainly industrial partners. The third semester gives you three routes: a company placement (a project-based internship) in Denmark or abroad, where you solve real problems and build a project from the tasks you take on; a study placement at another Danish or international university; or a regular semester mixing coursework and project work. AAU has agreements with universities around the world, and the academic environment has international contacts through company partnerships.

Who it suits

This is for you if you want to work at the intersection of technology and management systems in supply and value chains. You should be curious about sustainable production, digital transformation and efficient workflows, and want to understand how companies work and how they can be developed through information systems, advanced technology and management theories. The programme is about tackling the complex challenges where technology and business meet.

Admission, language and next steps

Everything is taught in English. The page points you to its admission requirements and how to apply, but it does not list specific entry requirements, so read those pages before you apply. For a master's, you apply straight to the institution. Students from the EU/EEA and Switzerland study free of charge; other students pay a fee that the institution sets. AAU Career can help you prepare for the Danish job market, with events, online help and personal counselling on career direction, Danish working culture, CVs and job search. The page also notes plans for a 3-year master's for working professionals from 2028, with the first year full-time and two years part-time alongside relevant employment.

Master’s applications go straight to Aalborg University, not through optagelse.dk, and the institution sets its own deadline. Entry requirements and language tests are set by the institution, so start from the official programme page. Our guides cover tuition fees, residence permits and housing.
