Technologies for monitoring and mapping the Earth and exploring space play a major role in our everyday lives. Without them, there would be no satellite navigation, reliable weather forecasts, global climate and environmental monitoring systems, or global telecommunications.


Looking to the future, these systems will undergo further development—just as new challenges will present themselves. As an engineer in the field of earth and space physics, you can help develop solutions that can benefit our environment and make our lives easier.


What will you learn?

The focus in the Earth and Space Physics and Engineering study programme is on developing, designing and applying technological solutions for monitoring, mapping, modelling, and predicting physical structures on a large scale—i.e. the Earth and space.


The world needs innovative solutions in order to learn more about the solar system and universe—about exoplanets, the universe’s large scale structure, compact objects, etc. We need new monitoring methods and systems so that we can map changes in the environment and climate, and assess the impact of the measures taken.


With more accurate data from navigation satellites, images from Earth observation satellites and improved communication facilities, the number of new navigation and mapping systems/applications is set to explode in the next few years. Engineers in earth and space physics will be able to help design these new technological solutions.


Study programme structure

On the programme you will learn how to combine your scientific knowledge with interdisciplinary technological skills with a view to developing technological solutions—in fields such as instrumentation, modelling and data processing methods for use in climate and environmental monitoring, searching for new resources, space exploration, or mapping and navigation on Earth. You will have ample opportunity to focus on what interests you most through the electives. To help guide your choices, some recommended courses of study have been set out.

Danish language requirement
In all Danish-language civil engineering and engineering majors, it is a requirement that your Danish qualifications are equivalent to a Danish A-level from upper secondary school. This is called the Danish language requirement. The Danish language requirement applies to those who apply with a foreign entrance examination.

In the Danish-language civil engineering majors, the Danish A-level is included as one of the specific entrance requirements. Fulfilling the Danish A-level by passing a subject in the Danish A-level also fulfills the Danish language requirement.

In engineering majors, the Danish A-level is not included as one of the specific entrance requirements and the Danish language requirement is therefore relevant if you apply on the basis of a foreign entrance examination.

How to meet Danish language requirements/Danish A-level
  • High school Danish A-level
Passed upper secondary supplementary subject (Danish A-level).
  • Nordic entrance exams
The requirement for Danish A-level is fulfilled by Norwegians, Swedes, Finns and Icelanders by passing Danish, Swedish, Norwegian or Icelandic at an equivalent level. Faroese can fulfil the requirement for Danish A by passing Danish or Faroese at an equivalent level. Greenlanders can fulfil the requirement for Danish A by passing Danish at an equivalent level.
  • The Danish language proficiency test
is considered equivalent to the Danish A-level. The Danish language proficiency test is the final exam for Danish language education 3, module 6. It is the highest level in the Danish language education system. The Danish language proficiency test is an exam at C1 level. The Danish language proficiency test must be passed with at least a 2 in each of the three disciplines.
  • The Danish primary school leaving exam
Danish applicants with a foreign admission basis (e.g. IB) who have previously passed the Danish primary school and received a full leaving certificate, and who were raised in a Danish-speaking home, can obtain an exemption from the requirement for Danish at A-level if they submit documentation of their leaving certificate.
  • Prior learning assessment certificate with full recognition in Danish A
If you have skills that correspond to Danish A, you have the opportunity to get an Individual Competence Assessment (IKV) at a VUC.

English language requirement
For admission to the English-language bachelor's degree in General Engineering, all applicants with a foreign degree must meet the English language requirement. Even if you meet the requirement for English at B level from your foreign upper secondary education, you must still take an English test when applying for admission to General Engineering. If you have a Danish entrance exam, please note that you cannot take a language test instead of taking a supplementary course. The English language requirement can be met by documenting completion of the tests below with a test result above the minimum score.
