How do you design the blades of a wind turbine? How do you calculate the lifetime of a welded construction? How do you develop robots to use in healthcare? How do you build a rocket engine? How do you design future energy systems? How do you optimize mechanical designs and make them more sustainable? How do you take part in the rapid development and use of 3D printed materials? How do you analyse the dynamic performance of a racing car or off-road vehicle? How do you make advanced computer simulations of complex constructions, flows, and manufacturing processes? These are just some of the questions you may be exploring on the MSc programme in Mechanical Engineering.
The teaching in the programme draws on the lecturers’ own research, and students have the opportunity to apply high-level theory and advanced simulations to practical issues with scope for interdisciplinary collaboration. You will acquire a solid background in mechanical engineering fields such as elasticity, plasticity, composites, metals, failure mechanisms, structural dynamics, fluid dynamics, energy storage, energy conversions, thermodynamics, solar energy, manufacturing, optimization, data science, robotics etc. You can also gain a deep understanding of the fundamentals of computational methods in mechanical engineering such as multibody dynamics, modal analysis, computational fluid dynamics, the finite element method, and many more.
The first and second semester include both compulsory and elective courses arranged into 8 study lines: renewable energy, thermo/fluid dynamics, robot technology, dynamics, solid mechanics, materials, mechanical engineering design and manufacturing. The third semester includes elective courses and projects, which can be undertaken in collaboration with a company and/or research group.
At Aarhus University you will be part of an extensive engineering environment with more than 3,000 engineering students. This means you will have ample opportunity to get involved in both academic and social student associations with your fellow students.
The Department of Mechanical and Production Engineering and the Faculty of Technical Science have a number of social spaces for meeting other students outside class, and these are an excellent base for social activities. As in all departments, there is a popular Friday bar, and the RIA student association organises celebrations and social events for all students at AU Engineering.
Graduates from the Mechanical Engineering programme are currently working in a wide range of fields – from basic engineering or science research in joint projects with research institutes and the industrial sector, to R&D projects in industry. Many have moved into careers within R&D departments in industrial enterprises, while some have undertaken a PhD in Denmark or abroad.
