The Bachelor's programme in Applied Industrial Electronics equips you to work as an electronic engineer. In the programme, you will learn how power electronic converters and electrical machines function and how to design and control robots. For example, you can work with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and underwater robots or develop control algorithms for wind turbines.

During the programme, you gain knowledge about embedded systems and about computers and programming, and you learn about signal processing, instrumentation, automation and about mechatronics and robots. In addition to knowledge about how to develop systems, you also learn how to test and validate systems to ensure that they work as intended.

Academic content

The Bachelor's programme in Applied Industrial Electronics is wide ranging within the electronics, IT and power electronics areas. In the initial semesters, you learn about basic electronic systems, and towards the end of the programme you work with more specialised topics such as industrial electronics, robotics, artificial intelligence and mechatronics.

Semester descriptions

From the fifth semester, you choose your specialisation

English language programme in an international environment

The program in Applied Industrial Electronics is an English language programme that takes place in an international environment and is offered internationally. This means that in addition to your academic competencies you also develop your language skills. The international environment can also provide you with intercultural competences that will serve you well in your future career.

This is a full-time study programme, which is characterised by problem based project work. You will be working closely with other students most of the time, and you are required to be present at the university on a daily basis and spend a vast majority of your day there.

With a Bachelor's degree in Applied Industrial Electronics, you have several different options of studying for a postgraduate degree:

Studying at AAU

At each semester, courses constitute half the study time, while the other half is spent on project work in self-selected groups – often working closely with research environments and/or companies. In conjunction with your group, you use theories and methods to solve a problem from the real world. In all semesters, you have the opportunity to do projects with experimental setups in laboratories.

During the programme, activities will be arranged such as field trips to various industrial companies as well as guest lectures with people from industry who talk about the development of the electronics and power electronics area and about the practical systems and projects, they are working on.

In the first four semesters, you get a broad introduction to the disciplines, which includes basic courses in electronic systems, microprocessors, programming, mechanics and control systems.

In the fifth and sixth semesters, you follow your chosen specialisation. In the following sections, you can read more about the content of each semester.

Combination and postgraduate options

Job and career

Commencement of studies exam

There is a commencement of studies exam during this study programme. During the first weeks of the 1st semester, you must take part in a written commencement of studies exam. The purpose of the commencement of studies exam is to determine whether or not you have actually commenced your studies. You must participate in and pass this exam in order to continue the study programme. If you do not participate or do not pass, you must participate and pass the re-exam, which is also a written exam. If the commencement of studies exam or the re-exam is not passed, you will be withdrawn from your studies by October 1st. The commencement of studies exam is based on the introduction as well as the students’ expectations and motivation for the studies.

You receive the assessment “Approved” or “Not approved” based on your answers. The assessment “Approved” is received when the written exam is answered and handed in.
