Technologies for monitoring and mapping Earth and exploring the universe play a prominent role in our everyday lives. Without these technologies, we would not have GPS navigation in cars, reliable weather forecasts, global climate and environmental monitoring, or global telecommunication.

We are in great need of new and innovative methods and services for monitoring Earth's climate change and measuring the effects of the actions we take. The number of new applications and services for navigation and mapping will explode in the coming years—e.g. with the availability of more accurate data from navigation satellites, images from Earth observation satellites, improved (tele)communications, and increasingly sophisticated smartphones. Furthermore, the search for new energy and mineral resources—and more efficient use of existing resources—is also a task of world-wide importance.

As an Earth and Space Physics and Engineering graduate, you can make a substantial contribution to finding new, sustainable, and advanced technological solutions that contribute to solving the challenges society is facing.

The Earth and Space Physics and Engineering programme focuses on developing, designing, and applying innovative and advanced technological solutions for monitoring, mapping, modelling, and predicting large-scale physical structures and processes—i.e. on Earth, the solar system, and the universe.

NB! Please note that the programme is NOT concerned with aerospace engineering.

On the programme, you will learn to combine scientific knowledge with interdisciplinary technological competencies with a view to developing sustainable, advanced solutions—such as instrumentation, modelling, and data processing methods for use in, e.g., climate and environmental monitoring, the search for new resources, space exploration, or mapping and navigation on Earth.

The MSc Eng is a two-year graduate programme with a workload of 120 ECTS credit points.

More programs from the university

Technical University of Denmark offers an international three-year English-taught BSc in General Engineering where you will learn to think and work as an engineer.

The study programme focuses on:
- the broad and general engineering competences.
- providing students with a solid grounding in mathematics, physics, and chemistry.
- work and study across disciplines to be able to apply them in solving actual problems.

Throughout the programme, students have the unique opportunity to work on design-build projects which are practice oriented. Students also work on an interdisciplinary group project where they propose an engineering solution to a specific problem from the real world. This familiarizes students with the engineering approach when it comes to solving problems which also teaches them to communicate and liaise with their group to find the best solutions in real-life settings – an essential element for engineers who wish to embark on a career on a global scale.
Please also note that spaces are limited with only 150 students admitted per academic intake.

Tuition fees

The tuition fee at Technical University of Denmark are €7,500 per semester (€15,000 per academic year) with payments made bi-annually at the beginning of each semester.

If you are an international student who is an EU/EEA citizen, you are not required to pay any tuition fees. In most circumstances, non-EU/EEA citizens will be required to pay tuition fees at DTU. However, some non-EU/EEA citizens may be exempt. If you are unsure as to whether you are required to pay tuition fees, you can find out by clicking here.
There are currently no scholarships, tuition fee waivers or any other forms of financial funding available at undergraduate level. For more information about tuition fees, visit the university’s website.

Entry requirements
You will need to fulfill the three sets of admissions requirements when applying to DTU:

1) The general admission requirement by having an upper secondary exam that equates a Danish upper secondary exam.
2) You must also have achieved certain grades in certain subjects.
3) Official proof of English proficiency.


Admissions process
To begin your application process, you must do so through the online application portal.

Please remember:
- To submit all necessary documentation, including your CV and personal statement (which must be written in English).
- If your high school diploma and college diploma are not in a Nordic language, English, German, Spanish or French, these should only be submitted once they have been translated into English by an authorized translator.
- If you are a non-EU/EEA citizen, you will also need to submit a scanned copy of your passport.
- All non-EU/EEA applicants must pay a one-off application fee of €100.


DTU offers 33 graduate programmes which cover all fields of engineering, many of which offer different study lines and focus areas for students to choose between. MSc programmes at DTU are 2 years in length and follow the flag model, with the 120 ECTS equally divided between general competences, technological specialization, electives, and the master's thesis. This gives each programme a unique flexible structure, where students can choose between hundreds of elective courses. This allows students to create their own, unique profile within engineering.
DTU also collaborates with other top universities around the world in offering 27 joint international MSc programmes

Students are trained in advanced research methods where they learn to adopt a constructive and critical approach to research findings. They also learn to translate new knowledge into technical solutions and are encouraged to take responsibility for planning and executing projects by participating actively in discussions in order to develop their critical and analytical skills.

By the end of their graduate studies, students will have acquired the qualifications and skills necessary to analyze, synthesize and evaluate theory and experiments relating to complex engineering systems, problems, and solutions. 


Tuition fees

Tuition fees at DTU for a master’s degree are €7,500 per semester (€30,000 for a full two-year master's degree) which must be paid per semester, or in one lump sum.

If you are an international student who is interested in studying at Technical University of Denmark, special funding is also available. Options include:

Tuition fee waivers

Every year, DTU awards a limited number of tuition fee waivers to new non-EU MSc students with an excellent academic record. Tuition fee waivers are awarded on academic merit and cover tuition fees for two years. To be considered, you must submit a separate personal statement alongside your initial application indicating your interest in being awarded the tuition fee waiver.

Scholarships

DTU does not offer additional scholarships, and students are encouraged to look for external means of financing. You may visit the DTU website for further information.
