This two-year, 120 credit MSc in Engineering is taught in English at the Esbjerg campus and starts in September. It combines advanced control engineering, electrical machines and artificial intelligence so that students can analyse and develop power electronic systems such as electric motors and drivetrains, renewable energy plants and systems for optimisation and reliability. Teaching mixes lectures with problem-based group projects on real problems in offshore wind, underwater robots and electric mobility, often linked to company work, in the university laboratories. Students may specialise in AI and autonomous systems, using deep learning for advanced control. From 2028 a three-year version for working professionals is expected.
