MSc Mechanical Engineering, 120 credits

Degree: Master of Science with a major in Mechanical Engineering.

The Mechanical Engineering master's programme deals with the product development cycle from an engineering perspective, encompassing everything from idea to the final product.

The programme starts with a semester of traditional mechanical engineering, mathematics and computer programming courses which are mandatory. These courses prepare students for further studies in one of the programme's specialisation areas:

• Engineering Systems Design - includes all aspects from classical machine design to mechatronics
• Engineering Mechanics - comprises classical and modern applied mechanics with a strong focus on modeling and simulation.
• Manufacturing Engineering and Management - spans the area between automated manufacturing processes to supply-chain management. 

The final semester of the Mechanical Engineering master's programme is devoted to the degree project.
