Structure of the Master of Science Programme at DTU
The Master of Science (MSc) programme—a two-year programme—consists of 120 ECTS credits and picks up where the BSc programme left off. The MSc programme provides you with more in-depth knowledge about your subject area. You also learn about teamwork and collaboration, preparing you for the work form you will meet in your subsequent working life.
The MSc programme is divided into individual study programmes, all of which include four course blocks.
The polytechnical foundation
The polytechnical foundation of the MSc programme ensures that you learn computational models for creating sustainable solutions. You will also acquire knowledge about innovation processes - including teamwork, entrepreneurship, and business acumen - all related to specific academic or interdisciplinary contents in your study programme.
