How can we use human biology to solve our biggest health challenges? If you do the BSc programme in Human Life Science Engineering at DTU, you will learn how to find the answers.
This programme is for anyone who wants to work very closely with human molecules and biochemistry, and use their knowledge to address major health problems.
The world needs engineers who can discover, design, and manufacture the pharmaceuticals and food of the future. As a Human Life Science Engineering student, you will learn just that.
You will become an expert in complex human biology, while learning how technological solutions such as bioinformatics and AI can assist us in developing new products.
Human Life Science Engineering graduates develop all kinds of products that make people healthier—from pain-relieving molecules, vaccines, and sustainable foods to genetically modified human cells that can kill cancer cells.
What will you learn?
If you study Human Life Science Engineering, you will be equipped to understand the connection between disease, the molecular mechanisms, and the drugs that can restore the biochemical balance.
In addition to DNA, RNA, proteins, and carbohydrates, you will learn about the combination between human biology and technology.
You will thereby be equipped to create biochemically active products that can improve and change lives. Along the way, you have to choose whether you want to specialize in food, biomedicine, or bioinformatics.
Study programme structure
During your first year of study, you will lay your academic foundation with courses in mathematics, chemistry, physics, biochemistry, and microbiology, and you will learn to perform laboratory exercises and program in Python.
From the beginning of your second year, you will have courses on topics like molecular biology and biophysics, and you will then have to choose to whether to focus on food, biomedicine, or bioinformatics.
The final part of your bachelor programme depends on which course of study and which electives you choose.

Level requirements
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
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.
- Mathematics A
- Physics B or Earth Sciences A
- Chemistry B or Biotechnology A
- Danish A
- English B
