Humanities, social sciences, communication and arts Interdisciplinary Studies

Institution	Aalborg University (AAU)
Campus	Aalborg
Duration	2 years
Tuition per term (Non-EU/EAA/CH)	3582 EUR
Tuition per term (EU/EAA/CH)	0 EUR
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

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

Description

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.

The Master's Degree is structured around three generic activities, which are part of the process of creating new value: Discovery, incubation and acceleration.

Discovery concerns new opportunities, incubation is about developing and testing new concepts and acceleration deals with realising new value. The study programme emphasises a natural progress, which is why you will work with discovery on the first semester, incubation on the second and acceleration on the third semester.

When carrying out the Master’s Thesis, you can work with all three subjects at the same time as you can add whichever perspective you might find interesting to the project. . Each semester has an “Intro” (introduction) and an “Outro” (reflection), and the first three semesters have inspirational and supportive courses to underpin the team based project work.

Career Opportunities

The job options are multiple. Your skill profile as a Master in Entrepreneurial Business Engineering is attractive for many types of companies/organisations in need of business development, including large private and public companies, small and medium size companies, start-up companies, as well as municipalities, regions and governmental agencies.

During the study, you also have the opportunity for creating your own company.

Admission

Admission to the Master’s programme in Entrepreneurial Business Engineering requires a Bachelor’s degree in the technical or natural sciences: Architecture and design; civil engineering; electronics and computer engineering; Internet technology; computer systems; software; mechanical and manufacturing engneering; medialogy; urban, energy and environmental planning; health science and technology or the like.

Description

Global Gender Studies is a profile of the Master of International Relations and will provide students with knowledge about and insight into the area of gender and global studies and will include discussions of specific cases and case studies in which gender and struggles for equality and social justice can be understood from local, regional and global perspectives (including in the context of institutions such as the EU and the UN). Specific emphasis will be placed on the history of gender and equality policies within the fields of development and international relations, on possibilities and limitations of international law and human rights, and on analyses of gender and equality policies in various contexts and parts of the world.

Students will also be introduced to gender perspectives on global governance and global democracy. Global governance signals a particular interest in the management of transnational issues by international organizations, other non-state actors and sovereign states with a particular focus on informal processes and activities of governing. Contemporary challenges to global governance include amongst others democratic problems of legitimacy, authority and accountability as well as trends towards increased nationalism, populism and de-democratization. Gender perspectives upon global governance will here be discussed from 'top-down', 'bottom-up' and transnational perspectives.

Website	https://www.en.aau.dk/education/master/information-studies

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.

Admission

The following AAU bachelor´s degree will grant applicants access to the masters programme in Information Studies:

Website	https://www.en.aau.dk/education/master/water-environmental-engineering

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

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.
