MSc in Electrical Engineering
Electrical engineering is essential for maintaining and developing a modern society.
From the production of electricity through the multiplicity of electrical and electronic
apparatuses to mobile communications and robotics, electrical engineering is fundamental
to many of the technical systems that we use every day at work and at home. Electrical
engineering is also changing rapidly. At the dawn of the twenty-first century, we are
experiencing enormous growth in areas such as computer technology, medical electronics, mobile communications, wind-powered energy production, robotics, wireless networks and satellite communication – and other new technologies are already in the pipeline at industrial and university research aboratories. This progress requires highly qualified engineers with first-rate expertise in the many disciplines of electrical engineering.
DTU offers an application-oriented and research-based MSc in Electrical Engineering. The program is based at Ørsted·DTU, but includes courses from many other departments at DTU. The program covers all aspects of the subject from theory and methodology through components and systems to applications. The applications include satellites, robots and wind turbines. The courses vary from the highly theoretical to the extremely practical with the opportunity for experimental work in advanced laboratories. The final MSc thesis project will be associated with current research at DTU and/or in
collaboration with a company outside DTU. Ørsted·DTU offers a broad range of courses facilitating high-quality individualized study with a substantial element of theory alongside practical work in the laboratory.

Course content
Electrical Engineering – study lines
Acoustics
The recommended study line in acoustics covers the topics of human sound perception and auditory modeling, electro-acoustic systems and audio coding, room acoustics, sound fields, and advanced acoustic measurement techniques. The study line includes courses that are relevant for students in Electrical Engineering having an interest in acoustics. Candidates/Graduates might seek employment in companies manufacturing
audio equipment, acoustic transducers, telephones, sound and vibration measurement
equipment, and hearing aids.
Automation and Robot Technology
Automation and Robot Technology are very important for our modern society.
Without reliable high-quality automation we cannot maintain the current levels of
production and social and economic welfare. Industrial production is ever more reliant
on reliable control and automation systems. Robotics is also increasingly important in
both home and industry. The recommended study line in Automation and Robot Technology deals with these subjects.
Electric Power Engineering
Electric Energy Systems are extremely important to today’s society. Without a reliable,
high-quality supply of electricity we cannot maintain current levels of social and economic welfare and prosperity. Electric power systems cover a wide range of power: Giga Watt power system of e.g. a nation-wide electric power supply, Mega Watt power system of e.g. wind-power plants, Kilo Watt power system of e.g. a fuel cell and Watt power system of e.g. consumer devices. The aim of the recommended study line in Electric Energy Systems is to equip students with the profound knowledge and
insight required to analyse, design, develop and operate electric energy systems.
Space Technology
Space technology is no longer reserved for national and international space agencies
and big corporations but is a field of increasing interest to a wide range of private
industries. Demand is therefore high for engineers with strong qualifications in space
technology. The M.Sc. program in Space Technology covers several areas with
emphasis on electronic spacecraft instrumentation such as magnetometers and
star cameras, electromagnetic systems such as antennas, radars, and radiometers,
attitude control systems, signal and statistical processing techniques for remote
sensing data, and on-board software. The program also includes substantial project
work; e.g. the development of complete student satellites or specific components,
systems or methods for space technology or applications.
Wireless Communication
Wireless equipment, such as PDAs, mobile/satellite phones and household equipment
is becoming omnipresent. Breathtaking new applications that could hardly have been
imagined a few years ago are constantly appearing. The objective of this program is to
provide students with the qualifications to research and develop advanced electromagnetic
systems for wireless communication technologies such as satellites, telecommunication,
mobile communications, broadcasting, radar and radiometer systems, and remote sensing. The courses range from highly theoretical to highly practical and include experimental work in advanced laboratories.
