Engineering initiative

The Danish business community needs more engineers, and demand is expected to increase in the years to come. At the same time, society is demanding technical-scientific solutions to the world's major challenges.

Aarhus University is committed to educating more engineers and to ensuring more technical-scientific research in order to meet the needs of society. This is being done through a targeted engineer initiative, adopted in the AU ENGINEERING 2025 plan in 2016.

Up to 2025, Aarhus University has earmarked DKK 113 million to:

• Strengthen recruitment to Bachelor of Engineering programmes, in part by launching new study programmes in Aarhus and Herning
• Strengthen recruitment to MSc in Engineering programmes by establishing new MSc-BSc in Engineering programme pathways within the classical engineering specialisations.
• Develop the technical-scientific environments to the highest international standard through targeted recruitment of teaching staff and researchers.
