As a student on this study line course, you will specialise in developing and designing electronics and hardware for wearable devices such as medical devices or smartwatches. You will also learn how to programme and develop software that can support the functionality of the portable devices you work on. It is a broad study line course that builds on much of what you've already learned about electronics on your Bachelor’s programme. Circuits, sensors, electrical signals, recording equipment, data processing and radio frequency technology are part of the curriculum, but you'll also learn about the latest forms of printed electronics and the different methods for harvesting energy from heat in the skin or body movement.
Once you have graduated with your MSc in Engineering, you will have highly specialised skills within the field of electrical engineering, including the ability to integrate different technologies and to design wearable devices based on an understanding of users and specific use contexts.
The Photonics study line trains electrical engineers to design and analyse advanced optical hardware and integrated photonic systems. You will work with semiconductor light sources, waveguides, resonators, modulators, and optical amplifiers, connecting device physics to system-level performance. Courses emphasise modelling, simulation, and design trade-offs in silicon and III–V platforms across visible, infrared, and UV domains. Through circuit-level design studies and laboratory demonstrations, you develop the ability to engineer high-performance photonic components for communication, sensing, and precision instrumentation.
As a student on the study line course in Digital Electronics, you will learn about digital systems and electronics and the physics behind them. You will work with large circuits and processors, and design chips and integrated circuits for different purposes.
You will graduate with a fundamental understanding of the physics behind digital electronics and the methods used to identify and solve issues in digital circuits. You will be ready to work with the technologies of the future, and you will be in demand by every sector of society where digitalisation is gaining momentum.
Analogue Electronics is in many ways a basic discipline within electrical engineering, and the profile of your Master’s in Engineering degree will enable you to pursue many paths within the labour market.
On the degree programme, you will work with electronic systems, components and complex analogue circuits that process and transmit information in the form of continuous signals.
You will gain a basic understanding of the mathematical models behind electronics and learn about advanced signal processing and instrumentation. This will enable you to design high performance circuits with many functions, and applications where accuracy is critical.
You will also learn about communication systems, microelectronics, wearables, diagnostics and troubleshooting. This means you will be able to work with electronics within a wide range of applications and industries.
As a student on the study line course in RF Electronics, you will gain specialist knowledge of radio frequency technology, and you will be able to use your skills within a broad range of engineering fields including radio, TV and wireless communication.
You will build on what you have already learnt about basic electromagnetism, digital signal processing and circuit design, and gain a basic theoretical understanding of the physics behind them. You will also learn how to use radar technology in an engineering context.
Energy Systems Integration is crucial for the green transition and the development of a carbon neutral energy supply for a society based on electricity.
On this degree programme, you will build on what you have already learnt about electrical energy technologies, and you will learn about the integration of green energy from different sources, as well as system and market solutions that can facilitate the transformation of our energy supply.
You will also gain an engineering perspective on the challenges and innovation needs of the energy sector, and have an opportunity to work with technologies for production and storage of e.g. solar and wind energy.
You will also have ample opportunity to supplement your studies with elective courses from other engineering programmes at Aarhus University if you want to tailor your degree in a specific direction. For example battery systems, wind energy and solar energy.
As a graduate, you will be in high demand in a world where the green transition and electrification of our energy system are high on society’s agenda.
