The MSc programme in Physics and Nanotechnology focuses on physics as the basis of modern technology.

The gap between scientific research and technological breakthroughs is narrowing. Therefore, in areas such as nanotechnology and sustainable energy, there is a growing need for engineers who can combine solid scientific knowledge with extensive engineering skills.

The MSc programme in Physics and Nanotechnology covers a wide range of technological, theoretical, and experimental techniques in modern physics. The applications include various topics, such as the development of nano-structured materials with tailor-made electrical, magnetic, optical, mechanical and chemical properties, manufacturing and integration of nano- and micro-components in systems design, modeling of complex biological systems, optical data processing and transfer, and the development of technologies for sourcing, storing, and converting sustainable energy—e.g. fuel cells and hydrogen technology....

Students in the MSc in Computer Engineering can specialise in relevant fields of study connected with system and instrument development involving software, hardware, and communication technology. Depending on your chosen specialisation, upon completion of the degree, you will be awarded the title of either Master of Science in Engineering (Computer Engineering) or Master of Science and Technology (Computer Engineering).

Your teachers will be researchers from the Department of Engineering and Department of Computer Science, as well as lecturers and development engineers at the Aarhus University School of Engineering. The degree programme thus benefits from research and development projects carried out in all three environments.... [-]

Whether your interest is in complex algorithms, IT security, logic and semantics, pervasive computing, or something completely different within the field of computer science, this programme will give you the opportunity to specialise in an area of your choice.

Quality teaching in an informal setting

The Master’s programme in Computer Science is dedicated to the highest-quality teaching in an informal learning environment. Our international teaching staff expect students to take an active part in the programme, and staff-student consultation is always encouraged. The teaching is a mix of lectures and classes, with preparatory work in study groups.... [-]

Businesses today face issues of rapid innovation and change that have led to increased demand for graduates with a thorough understanding of engineering practices, and of new support technologies for business model innovation. On the MSc in Technology-Based Business Development, you will learn to collect, generate, understand and assess new technological knowledge, new business opportunities and new central technologies for companies.

During the first and second semesters, the MSc programme applies theories, models and concepts to real-life problems. These first two semesters give you the opportunity to work on assignments that originate with a company and may also be carried out within the same context. In the third and fourth semesters, students can intensify their engagement with a company so that most of their credits are gained in the corporate environment. The company could also be the student’s own start-up company within the framework of our business incubator.... [-]

Intelligent products of the future will change the work and play off people. To do this requires empathy and responsibility on the part of designers to envision these changes. It requires a critical and open-minded attitude. It requires competencies beyond traditional engineering and computer science to engage in a multidisciplinary team for the development of successful products and services which benefit the world.IT Product Design educates such designers.

Who are we?

IT Product Design is a part of a fruitful environment at the Mads Clausen Institute where research and teaching are closely connected. The Design research group, led by professor Jacob Buur, is housing SPIRE (Sønderborg Participatory Research Centre), a research group concerned with research within:... [-]

To be accepted into the master’s programme in Computer science, you need to complete a relevant bachelor programme.The Computer science programme gives you a broad knowledge of information technology focussed on algorithmic techniques which form the basis for developing effective and secure modern software solutions. It also emphasises principles which will also be relevant in the next decade.In the master’s programme in Computer science, you continue developing your insight into scientific theories and methods, your experience with working independently with complex problems (business related or scientific questions) as well as your ability to express yourself clearly on academic subjects and mediate these to others.The master’s programme thus qualifies you to participate in scientific works and independently undertake business functions based on these abilities.The scientific aspect of the master’s programme is most evident in the final thesis project which lasts a year. Work on the project is done in close contact with a supervisor and often in connection with the supervisor’s own research.It must be said, though, that the master’s programme is not a research degree as such. To achieve these credentials, one must complete a PhD.A large part of the programme consists of a free choice of courses. The selection of these is updated every quarter. The end result is that you can piece together a very focused degree, regardless of whether you aim for the business sector or teaching and research in Computer science.... [-]

Optics, Sensors and Nanotechnology is one of two specialisations available to master students in the field of Physics and TechnologyDuring your studies, you will find the answer to why and how the technology works – and you will use that knowledge to develop, for example, optically based faster computers or new optical measurement methods for diagnosing cancer, or ultra-sensitive sensors capable of detecting the presence of just a few molecules of narcotics or explosives.

Programme structure

This is a two-year master degree. To study a master degree in Optics, Sensors and Nanotechnology, you must have a relevant bachelor degree (three years of the previous study at university level within a similar field).... [-]

What do you prefer – to lean back and watch science fiction movies with the rest of the world, or to make the ‘science facts’ of the future? Robots with artificial intelligence that recognise people and adapt to their individual needs. Robot technology that saves lives at the hospitals, makes all the technology in your home communicate with each other, or makes your car drive itself ... and safer.As a master student, you can choose to concentrate on one of the research areas: Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Embedded Systems or Computer Vision.
