MSC ENG PROGRAMMES
Architectural Engineering
Bioinformatics and Systems Biology
This MSc Eng programme focuses on
the use of computer-based methods
and mathematical models to analyse
the vast amounts of biological data
produced using high-throughput methods.
Examples of biological data include DNA
and protein sequences, mRNA levels,
lists of post-translational modifications,
protein-protein interaction data, and
metabolic pathway information. Although
computational analysis accounts for a
large part of the programme, students
also gain a deep understanding of the
underlying molecular biology and the
experimental methods used to generate
the large volumes of data.
Career prospects
Future career opportunities include
management positions or biomedical
research at universities or in the biotech
and pharmaceutical industries. dtu.dk/bsb
Life Science Engineering and Informatics
Joint programme with SDC within the Bioinformatics and Systems Biology MSc
The programme focuses on largescale
biochemistry, e.g. the study of
proteins (proteomics), DNA (genomics),
RNA (transcriptomics) and biochemical
processes (metabolomics) in living
organisms. A large-scale and data driven
approach to these things are becoming
increasingly important for biochemistry
research and production, for example in
the pharmaceutical and food industries.
The programme leads to an MSc
degree in Life Science Engineering and
Informatics and a Master of Biochemistry
and Molecular Biology/Bioinformatics/
Genomics from the University of the
Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Career prospects
Graduates are qualified for work in
data-driven enterprises of any size,
particularly within the pharmaceutical
industry, Biotech, and IT sector. Typical
work tasks include analysis of large-scale
data, clinical chemistry analysis, largescale
DNA/RNA sequencing, analytical
biochemistry incl. mass spectrometry,
quality control, product development and
research and development. dtu.dk/lifesci
Biomedical Engineering
Focusing on the design of future diagno-
stic and treatment methods at hospitals
and in the field, this is an interdisciplinary
programme offered by DTU in collabora-
tion with the University of Copenhagen.
The programme provides you with in-depth
knowledge of the clinical problems facing
the modern healthcare sector—enabling
you to develop new technological solu-
tions—and covers both engineering and
human physiology courses, ranging from
the functions of the organs at cell level to
modelling physiological processes in the
locomotive apparatus.
Career prospects
These include development of measuring
methods and equipment, clinical research,
testing and maintenance of complex tech-
nical installations; product development,
test planning, sales, marketing, and service;
teaching and research. dtu.dk/biomed
This MSc Eng programme enables you to
influence the design of future buildings.
Depending on your area of specialization,
you can use your extensive knowledge
of architecture and other engineering
disciplines to integrate the various
sub-solutions of a building project into
well-functioning units—e.g. components,
buildings, technical facilities, or entire
districts. Courses are offered in areas
such as energy, load-bearing structures,
installations, indoor climate, fire safety,
acoustics, lighting, urban planning,
consumer behaviour, project management,
and building information modelling.
Career prospects
As a Master in Architectural Engineering,
you will be involved in the early project
stages of construction, contributing
to innovative and optimized building
projects. dtu.dk/aen
