Why choose Mechatronics?
Would you like to help develop technologies that can sense, think and act? On the BEng Mechatronics programme, you learn to combine mechanics, electronics and software to create intelligent products and systems that solve real problems in industry and society.
The programme is taught in English in an international environment in Sønderborg with close collaboration with companies. You work with real-world engineering challenges and develop a broad technical profile, learning how to make several engineering disciplines work together.
With a BEng in Mechatronics, you become the engineer who understands both the details and the bigger picture. You can develop solutions within areas such as robotics, automated machinery, healthcare technology, energy and sustainable manufacturing.
Mechatronics is for you if you…
- want to develop solutions that combine mechanics, electronics and software
- are interested in intelligent products, robots, automation and data-driven systems
- want to work hands-on with technology and real industrial projects
- want an engineering degree that prepares you for the labour market after 3.5 years while still giving you the option to continue your studies
What will you learn?
On Mechatronics, you learn to develop intelligent products and technical solutions in which mechanics, electronics and software work together. You gain a strong technical understanding and learn to analyse, design and test systems used in areas such as robotics, automated machinery and healthcare technologies.
You gain a broad technical toolbox with subjects such as mechanics, electronics, programming, power electronics, thermodynamics and data-driven methods. You learn not only what to do, but also how to approach complex technical challenges as an engineer.
The programme gives you the competences to understand the interaction between several technical disciplines. You become able to speak several technical languages and contribute to product development where specialists in mechanics, electronics and software need to develop shared solutions.
Teaching methods
Teaching is project-based and built around real-world problems from industry. You work on projects every semester and develop solutions that match the demands you will meet in your future job.
The programme is taught in English in an international study environment. In the sixth semester, you complete a compulsory, paid internship in a company – often locally – and many students secure their first job through contact with industry.
Student/teacher testimonial
“Mechatronics is not just a combination of disciplines – it is a way of thinking and developing. You learn to see the whole picture and speak to all types of engineers – and that makes you a key player in product development.”
Andrei-Alexandru Popa, Associate Professor and Programme Director for Mechatronics
