Study Details: MSc 2 years full-time, 120 ECTS, Aalborg
The design and manufacturing of most of the products we use in our everyday life has in some way involved work of a mechanical engineer. The mechanical engineer has either been directly involved in the design and development process of the product and/or in the design and development process of the manufacturing equipment. Furthermore, the global competition has increased the demands for efficiency and functionality in industrial products. Therefore, the world needs engineers who can develop advanced and competitive mechanical systems, machines and products. The graduate programme Design of Mechanical Systems prepares you for meeting such challenges.
The Design of Mechanical Systems programme at Aalborg University, Denmark, focuses on design and development of industrial products through the use of both theory and practice. Thereby, you learn how to combine technical and creative skills and obtain in-depth knowledge about the entire design and development process.
The programme gives you insight into a wide range of design tools essential for a mechanical engineer. The classical engineering disciplines such as mechanics of materials, continuum mechanics, and variational methods are combined with courses on the latest computer based simulation tools like finite element methods, optimization methods and multi body system analysis methods. The use of composite materials for advanced structural applications is one of the key areas of the programme, and you will learn how to use these for engineering design purposes.
Students from the Design of Mechanical Systems programme have done projects in cooperation with or internships at a number Danish and international companies. This includes wind turbine manufactures such as Vestas and Siemens WindPower where students have been involved in several projects related to the design and development of wind turbines. Other examples include crash simulation in cooperation with Ford in Germany, simulation model of a dumper in cooperation with Hydrema, bio mechanical analysis of ligament injuries together with biomedical scientists and a variety of other industrial relevant projects.
Please make sure you send your application form and further documentation via post to the International Office by the required deadline.

On the third semester at The Design of Mechanical Systems programme, you have the option of doing an internship in Denmark or abroad, or spending a semester abroad. Aalborg University has collaboration agreements with universities around the globe, and the DMS research environment has a wide range of internship contacts.
Students from outside EU/EEA please see http://www.apply.aau.dk/how-to-apply-postgraduate/tuition-fee/
As a graduate from the Design of Mechanical Systems programme, Aalborg University, you will typically be employed in a company as a part of their research and development department or you will be employed in the academic world as a PhD student.
Each semester on the Design of Mechanical Systems has an overall theme:
Stress and Deformation Analysis of Load Carrying Structural Elements.
Engineering Design of Mechanical Systems.
On the third semester, you have the option of doing an internship in Denmark or abroad, or spending a semester abroad.
Master’s thesis.
