What you study

This MSc in Electronics Engineering at the University of Southern Denmark in Sønderborg makes you a specialist in two fields: power electronics and embedded systems. The register description says these two areas sit inside almost all modern electronic devices, and the programme is built around combining them in practice.

You meet the ideas in real products. Hybrid and electric cars use power electronics and intelligent control to cut energy consumption. Spacecraft and satellites use control systems and power electronics to convert energy from solar cells, fuel cells and batteries. The same competencies feed into smartphones, sensors, smart washing machines, drones, uninterruptible power supplies, frequency converters and robots.

The specialisation is Science in Engineering. The degree title is Master of Science in Electronics Engineering, and the programme runs for two years.

Admission, language and next steps

Teaching is in English. The programme is a master's degree, so you apply straight to the University of Southern Denmark rather than through optagelse.dk, which handles undergraduate applications. Students from the EU/EEA and Switzerland study free of charge. Other students pay a fee that the institution sets.

Study at SDU Sønderborg comes with a First-Job Guarantee: if you finish your MSc, you are guaranteed your first job. The register states this applies to students starting from September 2020.

Learning is project based and collaborative. You work in project groups, and you and your fellow students plan and carry out the projects within the time given. Projects typically come from companies, and the emphasis is on solving problems from real life. The register also points to a 3-year research training programme leading to a PhD, and to an industrial PhD run with a company that employs you.

Master’s applications go straight to University of Southern Denmark, not through optagelse.dk, and the institution sets its own deadline.
