Advanced Materials
Focus on developing new sustainable and functional materials for manufacturing, nanotechnology, acoustics, and physics. This track prepares you to innovate in creating materials that will shape industries and future technologies.
The Bachelor of Science in General Engineering at DTU
But we like to call it GE.
It's a three-year international programme that gives you a strong foundation in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biotechnology. It teaches you to collaborate across disciplines and apply engineering skills to real-world challenges. Through practical design-build projects, you will develop problem-solving abilities and learn how to work effectively in diverse teams. Studying in an international environment with courses taught in English, you’ll gain the broad competences needed to become an innovative engineer ready to shape the future.
Curriculum
Polytechnical Foundations The Core Stuff
The polytechnical foundation is basically all the main general subjects every GE student will have to take, which include Chemistry, Bioengineering, Physics, Programming, Statistics, and Mathematics. Some are more of a pain than others, but the main point is to bring all students to a general standard across all these base subjects.
Specialisations The Branches
After completing the core courses in General Engineering, you can choose to specialise in one of four areas. Each specialisation builds on your broad engineering foundation and prepares you for specific industries and career paths:
Cyber Systems
Dive into computers, artificial intelligence, data analytics, modelling, software and hardware development. This specialisation equips you to work with cutting-edge technologies in computing and digital systems.
Living Systems
Explore engineering related to all living things including aquatic systems, medicine, healthcare, and food production. This specialisation connects biology, chemistry, and technology to create sustainable solutions that improve health and protect the environment.
Future Energy
Work on creating a sustainable world by developing renewable energy technologies such as wind and solar power, electrolysis, applied chemistry, and entrepreneurship. This specialisation focuses on the energy solutions of tomorrow.
