Mathematics is an integrated part of our everyday lives. It is found in mobile phones, train schedules, and online search engines—to give just a few examples.


Study Programme
The use of mathematics will become even more prevalent in future. There is an ever-increasing demand for mathematical models and methods in, e.g., industrial applications, information technology, financial institutions, energy, government issues, drug development, DNA mapping, and environmental research.

The study programme offers courses at a high academic level, providing you with extensive knowledge of applied mathematics and mathematical modelling as well as modern computer equipment and analysis of large data volumes.

You will have the opportunity to work in close collaboration with both Danish and international companies - either as part of the courses, as an individual project or while writing your thesis.

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

General admission requirements
Only applicants holding a relevant Bachelor of Science in Engineering, a Bachelor in Engineering (diplomingeniøruddannelse) or a Bachelor of Natural Science degree can be admitted to a Master of Science in Engineering programme. The bachelor's degree must be less than ten years old.

The individual MSc Eng programme states in detail which bachelor programmes qualify and whether applicants must complete supplementary educational activities.

Requirements for supplementary educational activities can equate to up to 30 ECTS credits and are specified as a list of courses under the individual MSc Eng programmes.

The specific requirements must be met before graduating from the bachelor's programme or in connection with conditional admission to a particular MSc Eng programme. The courses must be passed prior to the commencement of studies within one year from the conditional admission.

Supplementary educational activities in connection with conditional admission to an MSc Eng programme do not form part of the MSc Eng programme, and tuition fees are charged. If the supplementary courses have not been passed within the specified deadlines, the conditional admission to the programme is withdrawn.

The Master of Science in Engineering programmes are offered in English. Therefore applicants must demonstrate proficiency in English.

Other National and International Applicants
Students holding a BSc in Mathematics from other Danish universities may be admitted to the programme provided that they can document their competencies in mathematical modelling and scientific computing. In addition, students holding a BSc in Physics from the University of Copenhagen with Physics-Mathematics as their first specialization may also be admitted provided that they can document their competencies in scientific computing.

Other BScs in Engineering (from DTU or elsewhere) or BScs (Natural Science) must be able to document that they possess qualifications in mathematics, mathematical modelling, and scientific computing corresponding to at least 45 ECTS credits. Coursework in mathematics corresponding to at least 01005/01006/01016 Advanced Engineering Mathematics 1 (20 ECTS) and 01035/01025/01034/01037 Advanced Engineering Mathematics 2 (5 ECTS) is required. In addition, proficiency in at least one programming language is required. A strong working knowledge at the bachelor level of at least four of the subjects listed below is required:

  • Discrete mathematics (5 ECTS) – e.g. 01017/01019, 
  • Probability & statistics (5-10 ECTS) – e.g.  02402/02403, 02405
  • Mathematical modelling (5-10 ECTS) - e.g. 02525, 02526
  • Computing (5-10 ECTS) – e.g. 02601, 02635
  • Optimization & operations research (5-10 ECTS) - e.g. 02610/02615, 42101
Descriptions of the DTU courses provided as examples can be found in the course catalogue.

Bachelors of Engineering (BEng) may be admitted to the MSc Eng programme upon application. Individual assessments will be made as to whether applicants possess qualifications in mathematics, mathematical modelling, and scientific computing corresponding to at least 45 ECTS credits.
