Study Details: MSc 2 years full-time, 120 ECTS, Aalborg
The underlying difference is the availability of embedded computers used to control such machines. Where much functionality earlier on was placed in mechanics, using complicatedlinkages and cams to coordinate motion, today functionality has shifted to electronics, controlling small actuators, e.g. a car engine which today is packed with electronic control features.
Optimal design of these new multi-disciplinary systems not only requires from the mechatronic engineer that he or she needs to have knowledge of proper mechanical design principles, but also embedded computer control hardware and software sensors in order to measure variables of interests and actuation technologies.
You will study topics like
Please make sure you send your application form and further documentation via post to the International Office by the required deadline.
Furthermore please note the official language requirements for international students applying to Aalborg University. You must complete and pass one of the following:
Admission to the MSc programme in Mechatronic Control Engineering presupposes a BSc degree in Mechatronic Control Engineering, Dynamic Systems, or similar.

Mechatronic Control engineers have a wide range of job opportunities. The gained knowledge enables MSc graduates to work in project engineering, research, development and management in Danish and international industries or public institutions.
Examples of possible employers:
•Sauer Danfoss in relation to control and development of hydraulic systems and components
•Vestas and Siemens Wind Power in relation to control, machines and hydraulic systems in wind turbines
•Wave energy industry
•Grundfos designing and controlling pumps
•Danfoss Drives for developing controllers
During the MSc programme in Mechatronic Control Engineering (MCE), you will study fundamental scientific principles and technologies used in the design of modern computer-controlled machines and processes. Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of mechanical, electronic, control and computer engineering enabling you to analyse, design a model, design and control all types of energy systems and advanced electro-mechanical products.
The teaching of programme is carried out in an innovative, dynamic and challenging environment through a combination of research-based courses, team-based project work and a high degree of interaction with industrial partners and energy supply companies. The companies take an active part in providing project proposals for the problem-oriented project work, guest lectures and visits to the companies.
The teaching is carried out in English because many international students are enrolled in the study programme.
