MSc in Physics and Technology Engineering
About the programme
A Physics engineer combines the best of two worlds: the drive of a physicist to understand the basic principles of how the world works and the drive of an engineer to find new technological solutions to the challenges of our society. Some of the main challenges of today are related to energy and climate, and the solutions are in many cases related to the intelligent use of materials.
In this programme you will obtain specialist skills in areas such as design, modeling, fabrication, and analysis of functional materials. This academic profile is a fast-track to employment since it combines fundamental knowledge of materials with an application-oriented mindset. Here, applications include a wide range from advanced sensor technology for medical diagnosis or food analysis to the development of improved renewable energy sources.
Advanced materials for the products of future
Many advanced technologies are based on a profound understanding of the underlying materials and the ability to tailor their properties for a given application. With the increased emphasis on sustainable production and circular economy combined with the emerging possibilities of AI based design approaches, this is becoming even more important when developing the products of the future. A remarkable example is the production of a new generation of solar cells that are made from plastics using only a fraction of the energy and materials needed for production of conventional solar cells.
In this master programme you build on your already strong foundation in physics, technology, and mathematics and you obtain deep knowledge of materials science and technology. This includes topics such as materials modeling and simulation, advanced characterization and reliability, as well as materials processing and device fabrication. In addition, you acquire expertise in measuring and analyzing signals – with high relevance for, e.g., development of highly sensitive sensors combined with intelligent data analysis. These and other subjects enable you to work interdisciplinary in a rapidly changing high-tech world with challenges in academic frontier areas.
Project and research-based learning environment
You become part of a collaborative study environment where you work in groups with your fellow students. You will work on projects that are often connected to companies, and we emphasize the importance of working on ‘real-world’ problems already during your studies. Moreover, you will be taught and supervised directly by the researchers that are making a difference in this field and you will be able to connect to the ongoing research activities as part of your education.
Į magistro studijų programas gali stoti visi, baigę universitetą arba besimokantys paskutiniame kurse. Studijos kurias baigei ar tebesimokai turi būti panašios krypties kaip ir tos, į kurias nori stoti, kadangi priėmimas yra paremtas ECTS kreditų suderinamumu.
- ECTS kreditų išrašas - jei dar nesi baigęs aukštosios mokyklos, būtina prisegti ECTS kreditų išrašą, kuriame būtų matyti, kokius dalykus tu mokeisi bei kokius pažymius ir kiek kreditų už juos gavai. Kai siunti anketą paskutiniame kurse, diplomą reikia prisegti vėliau, kai tik jį gausi.
- Bakalauro diplomas – jei jau esi baigęs aukštąją mokyklą, išrašo nereikia, užtenka prie anketos prisegti savo Bakalauro diplomą.
TOEFL iBT or iBT Home Edition - minimalus balas 83(nemažiau, kaip 20 iš kiekvienos dalies). Testo rezultatas universitetą turi pasiekti tiesiogiai iš testo laikymo centro. Užsakant testo rezultato išsiuntimą iš centro naudoti University of Southern Denmark kodą 7969. Rinkitės "other - department not listed". Jeigujau esi laikęs testą, vis vien gali užsakyti rezultato siuntimą iš testo laikymo centro (tai padaryti būtina). Kai tai padarysi, apie tai reikia informuoti mus.
IELTS - minimalus balas 6.5 (nemažiau, kaip 6.5 iš kiekvienos dalies).
Testo sertifikatą BŪTINA pateikti iki stojimo pabaigos datos.
You can also apply if you hold a similar, relevant degree in Science or Engineering. To be considered, your degree must include a minimum of:
- 25 ECTS within mathematics (Mathematics, Statistics)
- 40 ECTS within physics and technology (Mechanics, Electronics, Electrophysics, Quantum Mechanics, Optic)
If your bachelor's degree does not fully meet the requirements, it is possible to supplement it. You may take up to 5 ECTS of supplementary courses during the first semester of the master’s degree programme. For example, if you have a physics bachelor’s degree but lack an electronics course, you can follow a 5 ECTS electronics course during the first semester of the master’s degree programme. Or similarly, if you have an engineering bachelor’s degree but lack a quantum mechanics course, you can follow a 5 ECTS quantum mechanics course during the first semester of the master’s degree programme. Please refer to the paragraph below for general guidelines regarding supplementing courses.
As part of your application, you must fill in and upload a form in which you state which subjects from your education you consider relevant in relation to the requirements mentioned above. You must upload the form to the application portal when you submit your application. Download the form here (.pdf).
As a student in Engineering at SDU Sønderborg, you are guaranteed your first job when you finish your MSc studies. You can find more information here.
You will be qualified for jobs in, for example:
- Material engineering
- Sensor technology
- Medical technology
- Aerospace engineering
- Energy technology
- Food technology
- Microtechnology including fabrication processes and characterization techniques
- Computer modelling of physical and technical systems
You will also be qualified as a university researcher in, for example, material science or to develop new types of solar cells or sensor systems with improved performance.
With this programme you are qualified for a job in Denmark or abroad and for studies at PhD level.
