14 General structure of the MSc programmes The MSc is a two-year programme with a workload of 120 ECTS credit points. Graduates obtain the title Master of Science in Engineering. The programme comprises four cate- gories of courses: general competences, technology specialization, electives, and thesis. General competences Courses fall into the following three categories: General engineering competences You learn to combine technology appli- cation and development with financial management, management, and organi- zation. Most importantly, you learn how to use your qualifications and techno- logical know-how in a professional and social context. Synthesis competences You learn how to define and provide solutions to an open problem. You may be part of a cross-disciplinary team, and will be trained in communication and collaboration. Normative competences You learn a set of essential disciplines common to all technical aspects of engineering within a specific field. Technology specialization These courses give you the in-depth academic and technological knowledge necessary for obtaining state-of-the-art competences within a specific field of engineering, in the broad sense. The course profile depends on your selected line of study. Electives An important aspect of our MSc programmes is the significant number of elective courses. You can pursue your own scientific and professional interests, and choose from a variety of different DTU courses. Thesis The thesis marks the completion of the two-year MSc programme. The research project is most often carried out at DTU and in many cases in collabora- tion with one of our many industrial partners. All projects include elements of fundamental research, innovation, and application.
