Website https://www.en.aau.dk/education/master/culture-communication-and-globalization/arctic-studies

Description

Arctic Studies provide an opportunity for students to focus on the Arctic as a particular field of specialisation within their chosen master’s degree programme. 

Arctic Studies can be chosen as an integral part of a number of AAU's master’s programmes:The geographical area in focus is the Circumpolar North, including Greenland, the Nordic Region, Canada, Alaska and Russia, the North Atlantic and the Polar Sea. However, special attention is paid to global connections, well-established and emerging, in Europe, Asia, Russia, and North America. The Arctic is indeed a global region, and it is important to be attentive to these transregional connections. 

In the present years Arctic scholars have to rethink how we approach and understand the Arctic, not only because the ice is melting, but also because the political and societal scenes are changing rapidly. The specialization in Arctic Studies provides an advanced understanding of the Arctic region and its relationship with the rest of world, seen in historical, social, political and cultural dimensions.

Arctic Studies contribute with new problem-based research and teaching that engages the real-life problems which Arctic communities are facing today. This specialisation gives particular attention to studies in the human sciences within the areas of social, cultural and political analysis, inter-cultural communication, nation-building, post-colonialism, geo-politics, international relations, globalisation, governance and sustainable development (including tourism and the management of the natural and cultural heritage).

Career Opportunities  

In particular, the Arctic Studies specialisation prepares students for employment in areas of community development, tourism, culture dissemination and analysis, intercultural communication and local government in or with reference to the Arctic.

Description

Sustainable development is embraced as development that meets the present generation's needs without compromising future generations' abilities to meet their own needs. These needs are predominantly to be met in cities.
Economically, cities are engines of development and cradles of economic growth that are necessary to sustain the prosperity of society and create job opportunities, not least for the urban poor. Cities are also centres for political and cultural manifestations that are key to forming nations and their identity. At the same time, cities by definition are consumers and if poorly managed, can be responsible for ruthless use of resources and impact on the environment from disposal of wastes and from industrial and domestic activities.

The education at the engineering specialisation Cities and Sustainability is based on international research work on the highest level and occupies with areas such as:
  • sustainable development
  • urban planning
  • air pollution
  • climate changes
  • ecological economics
  • environmental protection and planning
  • industrial ecology
  • material and energy flow analysis
  • sustainability assessment
  • waste and resource management and the connection between water, energy and food nexus.

Career Opportunities  

Graduates enter the international employment market working:
  • with enterprises dealing with high end technological products and services
  • as consultants making technology assessment and innovation /change management

Description

The Master of Science in engineering programme Computer Engineering at Aalborg University is a two-year, research-based full-time study programme of 120 ECTS.

Computer Engineering is an engineering programme targeted at B.Sc. graduates in computer engineering, electronic engineering, software engineering and similar. It is for students interested in AI, vision, sound, distributed systems and networks.

At the core of modern technology ranging from small IoT-devices, over phones, computers, robots to self-driving vehicles, are two fundamental building blocks, namely communication systems and intelligent algorithms. The Computer Engineering programme will equip you with strong competences within these fields, which will allow you to significantly contribute to designing and implementing new technologies that will make a real difference in the world. Depending on your interests, you can choose to specialise in one of two directions:

  • AI, vision and sound
  • Networks and distributed systems

AI, vision and sound

You will work with theories and methods about the foundations of Artificial Intelligent (AI) as well as novel algorithms and concepts such as Deep Learning. AI algorithms are to some degree approximating human intelligence, which ultimately means that technology can perform tasks similar to those which humans can perform. The most important human senses are the ability to see and hear, and AI algorithms operating on images/video and sound are therefore central to the future of AI. To this end, this specialisation has a special focus on AI algorithms for processing of images and sound.


Networks and distributed systems

A computer is rarely working in isolation, but as part of a larger system, consisting of other computers such as Internet. To achieve connectivity, we first and foremost need to design and implement a communication network that will interlink different devices. The complexity of communication networks grows, and many cases require a distributed mode of operation, where focus is on system reliability or real-time operation requirements. Therefore, this specialisation especially focus on theories and methods regarding distributed systems.

Career Opportunities  

Candidates are likely to find employment within areas such as wireless and mobile communication, consumer audio and video, sound and audio products, multimedia, medical aids, instrumentation, automotive applications, avionics, navigation, etc.

Hiring companies could be (not limited to):
  • Lyngsoe Systems
  • Grundfos
  • Bang & Olufsen
  • Siemens Wind Power
  • Oticon Medical
  • Niras
  • Cowi
  • Rambøll
  • Motorola
  • The Danish Road Directorate

Description

When you study Energy Engineering, you can choose the specialisation Electrical Power Systems and High Voltage Engineering.

In the future, it is expected that the electrical energy production area and the network grid structure will change. More dispersed renewable generation units, such as photovoltaic (PV) systems, biomass systems and small wind turbines will be connected to the grid at the distribution level where also new loads will give interactions to the transport, thermal and gas sectors via electrical vehicles, heat pumps, electrolysers etc. 

Furthermore, there is an increasing focus on the connection of large offshore wind farms, reinforcement of the transmission grid and on more HVDC connections at the transmission level. This may offer potential financial, environmental and technical benefits, but it also presents a great number of challenges and uncertainties.

With a Master's Degree in 
Electrical Power Systems and High Voltage Engineering, you would be able to answer questions like:
  • Should the entire high voltage network be laid in cables? How should this be done?
  • How would the future distribution network be, including decentralised supply units? What control strategy would be required?
  • Should the customer pay time-dependent prices to encourage adjustment of consumption patterns?
  • Should the distribution network be able to run independently in the future (disconnected from the transmission network)?
  • How do we control the balance between production and consumption in a future network supplied by sustainable energy sources with fluctuating production and consumption?

Career Opportunities

Imagine a world without oil, coal, and gas. This would result in a lack of electricity and heat. We would not be able to drive our cars or take a bus – and flying would be out of the question as we would not have any fuel. We would not be able to turn on the TV, cook dinner, charge our cell phones, or turn on the lights and the heat. What would we do?
We do not know how long our oil and coal reserves will last. At the same time, we are polluting the earth with the use of oil and coal. We need to replace the sources of energy such as oil, coal, and gas with alternatives like wind, sun, and wave energy. These sources of energy do not pollute the earth, and they will not run out.

By studying Energy Engineering at Aalborg University in Denmark, you can become part of the future team of engineers who are going to ensure our environment and our climate through the use of alternative sources of energy which do not pollute and at the same time optimise the energy system and efficient apparatus so that we save energy.

Website https://www.en.aau.dk/education/master/international-relations/global-refugee-studies

Description

Global Refugee Studies is a two-year fulltime international MSc-study program which focuses on refugees and forced migration. The Danish and European debate regarding refugees has changed radically in the past few years. From an almost exclusive focus on assimilation and integration it has now turned into both a security and foreign policy issue and is regarded as a development problem. 

There is a serious lack of knowledge about the impact of this and many other situations involving global, regional and local refugees. The MSc-study program will add to bridge the gap of the missing knowledge about the status of forced migration.

Topics to be studied at Global Refugee Studies
  • Human rights
  • Transnational communities/identities
  • Displacement: Causes and effects
  • Globalization, ethnicity and processes of social transformation
  • Forced migration and internal population displacement
  • Problems with rehabilitation
  • Mal-development and climate change as a cause and consequence of displacement.
  • The roots of poverty and inequalities
  • The role of international government organizations and non-governmental organizations at both the international and local levels and their work with refugees
  • Criminality and trafficking
  • Gender, women and children
  • Culture and identity

Career Opportunities  

As a graduate you will have obtained a substantial knowledge about the refugee question, internally displaced people, migration, conflict, security, development and globalization. You will be capable of analyzing and handling complex and varied causes and implications of refugee and migration issues. You will be able to apply your knowledge and understanding of these issues to problem-solving strategies and policy-making in a local, national and global context.

Typical job opportunities are in international and national government organizations and non-governmental organizations where analytical work and strategies concerning refugee and migration issues are in the centre:
  • Regulatory bodies at the local, regional, national and international level (for instance Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Municipalities and Regions)
  • National or international organizations (for instance Red Cross, UN, international NGOs).

Admission  

To apply you need a bachelor’s degree in a relevant field of the social sciences for instance political science, sociology or economics. If you have a background in Humanities or the Technical or Natural Sciences it is possible to apply if you otherwise have obtained relevant knowledge and qualifications. Assessment of the applications will be done on an individual basis. 

In addition, documentation will be required to verify that your proficiency in English is at an acceptable level.

Description

The Master’s program in Information Studies at Aalborg University focuses on the design, development, and evaluation of IT systems with a particular emphasis on the relations and interactions between people and IT systems. The degree in Information Studies provides students with skills and competencies sought by the IT industry, and which are applicable wherever people and IT meet and interact.

Information Studies is concerned with the design, development, and evaluation of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in any context where people are involved. ICT systems play an increasingly important role in modern society across all technology-driven sectors, such as business, health, entertainment, learning, government, and beyond.

At its core, the teaching in the Information Studies programme focuses on users, information and systems. In particular, most of the teaching is built up around one of the three core areas of information behavior, human-computer interaction, and information systems. Throughout the programme, students will learn about theories and methods from the different research areas displayed in the outer ring, such as information architecture, systems design, user research, and behavioral analysis.

Career Opportunities  

Researching, designing and developing ICT systems is one of the big challenges of the 21st century, where information is increasingly digitized. Access to information therefore requires digital systems, and these are incredibly challenging to design, test and implement due to the massive variety in how humans operate. There is a strong need across all IT sectors for experts capable of handling the complex situations that occur when people need to interact with ICT systems. 

Typically, IS graduates will be responsible for analyzing how users interact with existing communication and information systems to identify potential problems. This is often combined with designing solutions to these problems in the form of (re-)designing these systems and overseeing their development, deployment and adoption.

About the Degree

This programme is available at Aalborg University's campus in Copenhagen.

Description

As the population of the world increases and people gather in cities more and more, the need for a proper water supply and water drainage intensifies from day to day. Because this need is so fundamental, the water sector is almost independent of the actual economical and political situation which makes an education as engineer in Water and Environment an excellent long-term investment with fine employment possibilities all around the world. 

Although the pipes for water supply and drainage are hidden below the soil surface, it is worth remembering that this part of the infrastructure of the society has the highest economical value of them all; more than roads, railroads, electricity etc.

To overcome the on-going and coming climate changes, the development and extension of the storm drainage of the cities will be a further challenge for engineers in Water and Environmental Engineering.

During the programme, you can work with subjects such as:
  • Water supply
  • Wastewater treatment plants
  • Oxygen depletion
  • Pollution

Description

The wind industry is developing rapidly; many new technologies are being applied. New problems are being revealed due to the large penetration of wind power systems into the network grid. Some of the wind installations will be very large off-shore wind farm, which should act as power plants and should support the stability and power balance in the network grid.In the future it is also expected that a lot of new small wind turbines will be installed, maybe as plug and play units at household level. These wind turbines could be both vertical and horizontal axis turbines. This will provide many new challenges for wind power engineers in the future.

The specialisation in Wind Power Systems (Energy Engineering) focuses on the electrical aspects of wind power systems ensuring an excellent education in subjects such as generators, power electronics, control engineering and power system technology related to wind power applications. This will provide an excellent background for engineering employment in the wind industry.

You will study topics such as:
  • How do we ensure electric network stability when a large wind turbine is connected to the system?
  • Should direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC) transmission be applied in offshore wind parks of the future?
  • What type of generator provides the highest efficiency in a given application?
  • How can a wind turbine be protected against lightning?
  • How do you design a micro electricity supply network comprising a wind turbine, energy storage and loads? 
During the study programme in Wind Power Systems, you will study the electrical phenomena in wind power systems and achieve a high level of competence in the field of generators, power electronics, control techniques, power systems and integration of wind turbines in the electric power supply network. 

The teaching of the programme is carried out in an innovative, dynamic and challenging environment through a combination of research-based courses, team-based project work and a high degree of interaction with industrial partners and energy supply companies. The teaching is carried out in English because many international students are enrolled in the study programme.
