Study Details: MSc 2 years full-time, 120 ECTS, Aalborg
Global competition entails several challenges for the industry. To cope with these challenges, the industry needs engineers who know how to handle product-, process- and production issues. The MSc programme in Manufacturing Technology aims at providing graduates with competences to solve complex production-related problems and is designed to develop both theoretical understanding and practical experience. The programme focuses on design, development and implementation of products, manufacturing and control systems; primarily in relation to development, planning and implementation of industrial production.
Project examples
•Barrier properties of polyester nanocomposites – in cooperation with Danfoss
•Development of a methodology for incremental production capacity expansion – in cooperation with Grundfos
•Roller hemming of magnesium automobile door panels – in cooperation with Daimler Chrysler
•Pool Playing Robot – in cooperation with Colorado School of Mines
The programme is structured towards giving the graduate the opportunity to specialise within specific areas; e.g. virtual product- and process development, material- and process technology and operation and robot technology. The specialisation is carried out through the project work.
Project work
The project work is focused on putting theory into practice. You will do your project work in cooperation with a company; a great opportunity to try out your ideas and knowledge in a real life-situation
The programme aims at providing the students in-depth knowledge within:
•Process Modelling
•Simulation
•Production Modelling and Monitoring
•Production Planning and Control
•Intelligent Manufacturing

Manufacturing Technology is a two year master’s programme. Each semester has an overall theme. Within this theme the students conduct a project in collaboration with a company in order to combine lectures and industrial problems. On the first two semesters, each project group consists of 4-6 students. On the last two semesters, the project groups consist of 1-3 students per group. The headline of each semester is as follows:
1st Semester
Production Analysis and Efficiency Improvement.
2nd Semester
Development of Manufacturing Systems.
3rd Semester
Traineeship or study abroad.
