General Courses

Information is based upon the curriculum for academic year 2021/2022. Changes may occur.

During the fourth study year of the Degree Programme in Mechanical Engineering, a master's programme must be studied.
Information about which master's programme can be studied, can be found in the programme syllabus. Changes may occur.

For students who chooses to study one of the following master's programme:
Industrial Economics (TINEM), Applied Mathematics and Computational Mathematics (TTMAM) or Technology and Sustainable Development (TSUTM)
it is required that a supplementary technical profil is read in order to obtain a Degree of Master of Science in Engineering.

The following technical profiles can be studied during study year 4-5 (ie during study year 1-2 of the master's programme):

  • Industrial Management (Technical Profile: Engineering Design, Energy, Production or Solid Mechanics)
  • Applied and Computational Mathematics (Technical Profile: Production and Energy or Solid Mechanics)
  • Sustainable Technology (Technical Profile: Engineering Design, Energy, Production or Solid Mechanics)
