The Bachelor program in Mechanical Engineering offers a broad based engineering education. Multidisciplinary courses aim to prepare students for a system approach and interdisciplinary problem solving in engineering. Through the international orientation the engineering education is adapted to the globalized economy. Upon completion of this international and broad engineering degree, students will be prepared for positions in:

• (international) machine and plant construction,
• thermal, mechanical and chemical process engineering,
• the Automotive industry,
• environmental engineering,
• consultancies.

The course aims to give technical depth and develop the knowledge and skills that prepare the students for scientific research, critical analysis of scientific findings, as well as a responsible professionalism. Graduates will thus be well adapted to the rapid changes in the globalizing world. The first semesters are dedicated to the engineering fundamentals: mathematics, mechanics, science and technical drawing, as well as information science, electronics, thermodynamics, material science and design. Towards the later part of the course there is some opportunity for choosing electives. Thus, the program offers a general foundation in mechanical engineering whilst offering some opportunities for an individual focus. The bachelor degree will qualify for immediate entry into a professional career, or for the continuation of the studies in a master program. This would then also offer the opportunity of entering into a PhD-program.
