Photonics
Joint programme with KAIST within the Photonics Engineering MSc
The main focus of this double degree programme is the understanding of the underlying physical principles used to
describe optics and optical phenomena. The master’s programme in photonics also includes a significant element of
innovation and entrepreneurship that provides a foundation for creating start-up companies, or working in companies.
Career prospects
Upon graduation, you will have obtained engineering skills such as analytical and systematic approaches to problems
and be qualified to work within a wide range of areas. dtu.dk/photo
Physics and Nanotechnology
This MSc Eng programme centres around physics as the basis of modern technology. The programme covers a wide range
of technological, theoretical, and experimental techniques and includes topics such as the development of nanostructured
materials with tailor-made electrical, magnetic, optical, mechanical and chemical properties; manufacturing and integration
of nano- and micro components in systems design; modelling of complex biological systems; optical data processing and
transfer; and the development of technologies for sourcing, storing, and converting sustainable energy—– e.g. fuel cells and
hydrogen technology.
Career prospects
Advanced physics skills are applicable in a broad spectrum of areas, but graduates work primarily in the field of research
and development in private and public companies. dtu.dk/nano
Physics and Nanotechnology
Joint EuroTech programme with TUM within the Physics and Nanotechnology MSc
This 1:1 master’s programme focuses on physics as the basis of modern technology. The joint programme is based on
the interplay between scientific research and technological breakthroughs, covering topics such as nanostructured
materials, nano- and micro components in systems design, modelling of complex biological systems, optical data,
and the development of sustainable energy technologies.
Career prospects
The programme covers a wide range of technological, theoretical, and experimental techniques in modern physics.
These advanced skills and competences are applicable in many areas, often related to research and development,
but graduates also find jobs in the software and consultancy industries. dtu.dk/phynan
Quantitative Biology and Disease Modelling
This brand new programme, offered in collaboration with the University of Copenhagen, aims to use engineering skills to obtain
a better understanding of complex disease biology and prediction of biological responses to various interventions. The
programme combines mathematical modelling of healthy and diseased biological systems with pathology, immunology, and
pharmacology. Graduates will be able to approach healthy or diseased biological processes with a quantitative and modelling
mindset. With the mandatory courses in the programme you will need to have basic training in biology and computer
programming to gain access.
Career prospects
Quantitative Biology and Disease Modelling provides you with many future career options in biotechnology, health care, drug
development including PK/PD modelling, and research within the life sciences and bioengineering. dtu.dk/qbadm
