The following criteria are included in the assessment:
- Courses in the following subject areas (ECTS points)
You will get one point if you have more ECTS in a subject area than required to meet the entry requirements. You can get up to 5 points in total.
- Mechanical design, statics, dynamics and 3D CAD (1 point if more than 10 ECTS)
- Embedded programming including project work (1 point if more than 5 ECTS)
- Analog/Digital electronics (1 point if more than 5 ECTS)
- Control theory including project work (1 point if more than 5 ECTS)
- Mathematics (1 point if more than 15 ECTS)
- Machine learning or Statistical methods (1 point if more than 5 ECTS)
- Grade point average of your qualifying degree (Danish 7-point grading scale)
- GPA 7 (1 point)
- GPA 10 (2 point)
- GPA 12 (3 point)
Note that if the degree is not completed at the time of application, the grade point average is calculated based on the courses passed at the time of application.
