Description

In the Materials and Manufacturing Engineering programme you will discover the world of materials, the transformation from materials to final components, the evaluation of product qualities, and the technologies used in creating advanced products.These skills are crucial for creating products in health tech, the toys industry, the energy sector, automotive industry, aeronautics and medical devices and are essential for the future green transition and more environmentally-friendly practices.

Focus of the Materials and Manufacturing Engineering programme

The programme focus is to develop and optimize products with improved functionality and extended lifetime which require:
  • Detailed understanding of the internal structure of materials and how this affects the material properties and performance
  • Knowledge of materials degradation mechanisms and how to prevent these
  • Awareness of the environmental impact of the production processes
  • Mastering advanced processing technologies for manufacturing and post-processing of high-tech products
  • Application of digital tools in the design, optimization and evaluation of materials, products and production technologies
  • Proficiency in designing and optimizing of product properties
  • Evaluation of quality and performances of products
  • Analysis of data obtained in study cases from different industries
The programme enables you to predict, control, and optimize the specific properties of materials. It also shows you how to improve industrial process technologies for making advanced product solutions at both the micro and macro scales.

The interaction between materials, processes, products, properties, and performance is central to the programme and is reflected in the programme title ‘Materials and Manufacturing Engineering’.
The Materials and Manufacturing Engineering programme is very application-oriented, and the teaching is based on most recent research directly connected to industry needs.Besides theoretical courses and using computer models you will have access to state-of-the-art facilities and testing tools.Your projects will most often be inspired by real industry situations and carried out in collaboration with industry. You will therefore be working with relevant, real-world cases throughout the entire study programme.

Curriculum

The MSc is a two-year graduate programme with a workload of 120 ECTS credit points.

Career Opportunities 

Materials and manufacturing processes are vital for the technological advancement of industry and society as a whole, which is the key to ensure green transition, sustainability and more environmentally-friendly practice.As a result Materials and Manufacturing Engineering graduates have a multitude of career opportunities in various industrial sectors as medical devices, energy production and storage, transport, building and construction, (micro)electronics, food production, automation, robotics and within green transition.Discover more about your potential career opportunities

DTU Lyngby Campus

Description

DTU’s main campus consists of more than 100 buildings on a 106-hectare plain, which is divided into four quadrants—just like points in a coordinate system. The campus is safe and secure, and a site of great natural beauty with wooded areas, sports fields, inner courtyards, and gardens.  

The campus is located within the Greater Copenhagen Area and is easily accessed by car or public transport. You can get from DTU to Copenhagen Center in about 40 minutes by bus or trian, 45 minutes by bike and 20 minutes by car.

Most of the DTU main campus was build in the 1960s and 1970s, but new and modern facilities have been build continuously. DTU is currently investing more than 500,000,000 EUR in a comprehensive transformation of the university buildings and infrastructure, which is aimed at providing world-class research and student facilities.
