Construction and Mechanics - candidate
The field of study 'Construction and Mechanics' is for you who want to help develop new and better solutions based on the laws of mechanics.
Engineers with competences in construction and mechanics are involved in the development of new and better solutions within products, mechanical components, production equipment and industrial plants. The focus of the solutions can be everything from small structures such as parts in a hearing aid or in a mobile phone to engines, turbines, wind turbines, ships and offshore constructions.
The focus of the education
The master's degree 'Construction and Mechanics' and its subject areas cover both the systematic construction methods within construction and product development as well as analysis, numerical simulation and optimization with a focus on strength ratios, flows and energy conversion.
During the course, you will have the opportunity to use systematic construction methods and advanced mathematical models. Applied mechanics is included in many contexts, where you make use of your extensive knowledge of physical principles, force relationships, flows and energy transformation.
The teaching is based on lectures as well as individual and team-based exercises in group rooms, data bars and laboratories. You will have the opportunity to carry out the final Master's thesis, which relates to the discipline's subject areas, in collaboration with an active research group or as a project in collaboration with one of our company contacts.
Focus areas The degree course 'Construction and Mechanics' covers five focus areas or subject areas. You can therefore put together a course whose primary focus is within one of these more limited areas:
Construction and product development
  • Here we seek the answer to the question: How do you carry out industrial product development and construction of mechanical and mechatronic products and systems efficiently and with a high probability of a solution?
  • There is a focus on creative problem solving, project work, product life considerations, method application, communication and the use of computers in synthesis work.
Strength ratios and dynamics
  • The starting point is a good understanding of physical relationships and the desire to model and calculate on them. Computer modeling based on extensive use of applied mathematics as well as experimental methods are included as essential disciplines. The teaching within the subject area qualifies the students to be able to carry out a strength, vibration and stability analysis and dimensioning of products from micro components to machines and, for example, drilling platforms.
Industrial flow mechanics
  • Solving practical industrial flow engineering problems using classical physics, applied mathematics, numerical methods and experimental methods. The approach is partly purely theoretical by setting up and applying mathematical models to the problems and then solving these using a computer, partly purely experimental by studying and measuring the flows, i.a. to verify and improve the established models.
Energy Engineering
  • The focus is on energy-converting processes in power plants, cooling plants and heat pumps, combustion engines, fuel cells, industrial plants as well as analysis, numerical simulation and optimization of systems in which these machines and plants are part. The academic basis is thermodynamics, including heat transmission, combustion processes, properties of substances and parts of the theory of flow.
Maritime Constructions
  • Here the focus is on technical constructions in and on the open sea – for example large container ships, wave energy plants, offshore wind turbines and facilities for fishing. The professional basis is based on the planning, dimensioning, construction and operation of these maritime structures, taking into account safety, economy and efficiency in order to minimize the impact on the surrounding environment both locally and globally in the best possible way.

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.
