Curriculum Structure
Year 1 (Semesters 1-2): You'll kick off with the basics of electronics, diving into basic analog electronics, embedded systems, and circuit analysis while building a strong foundation in math and physics—think designing your first small electronic product from scratch in a group project. By semester 2, you'll tackle advanced electronic circuits with active components like amplifiers for analog signal processing, analog-to-digital conversion, and microcontroller systems, exploring how components interact in real setups.

Year 2 (Semesters 3-4): Semester 3 ramps up to dynamic systems with electric motors, frequency converters, and digital signal processing, where you'll integrate electronics and software to control things like motor speeds in practical projects. In semester 4, expect advanced topics like power electronics, control engineering, programmable hardware (including System on Chips), and even machine learning basics, culminating in a project that senses data and controls devices.

Year 3 (Semesters 5-7): Semester 5 emphasizes innovation through Experts in Teams, an interdisciplinary project where you form a virtual company with students from other engineering fields to prototype a complex product, factoring in economics and suppliers—plus electives or a semester abroad. Semesters 6-7 feature a mandatory company internship (in Denmark or abroad) followed by your final bachelor's project with a real employer, blending all your skills into professional-level work.

Focus areas: Analog and digital electronics, signal processing, power electronics, embedded systems, control engineering, green energy tech (e.g., wind turbines, solar cells), robotics, electric vehicles, and medical equipment—all with software development and sustainable design.

Learning outcomes: You'll master developing electronic products from idea to prototype, using modeling/simulation tools, project management, teamwork, and interdisciplinary problem-solving while considering economics and environmental impact—ready for industry or MSc studies.

Professional alignment (accreditation): This vocationally oriented BEng is accredited as a full engineering degree in Denmark, qualifying you directly for the job market or MSc in Engineering (Electronics), with built-in company projects and internships ensuring seamless industry fit.

Reputation (employability rankings): SDU guarantees your first job post-graduation, with alumni excelling globally in high-tech sectors like energy, robotics, and medtech—thanks to the program's company collaborations and problem-based approach, aligning with Denmark's top engineering employability stats.
