About TECH

The Technical Faculty of It and Design addresses global challenges through education, research and knowledge collaboration that create tomorrow’s:

Digital solutions that consider human behaviour and needs
Technology and knowledge for sustainability
Architecture and design that integrate aesthetics and engineering
Digital solutions that consider human behaviour and needs
Technology and knowledge for sustainability
Architecture and design that integrate aesthetics and engineering

With four departments, a doctoral school and a wide range of degree programmes, we create knowledge for the world at the highest levels. Our problem based learning and research are widely recognized both in Denmark and beyond the country’s borders, with distinctions that include being ranked Europe's best engineering university (U.S. News & World Report, 2022) and fourth best university in the world for Engineering programs (The Global State of the Art in Engineering, Ruth Graham, MIT, 2018)

Four Departnments, an Admission Course and a Doctoral School

Department of Computer Science

The department conducts internationally recognized research and offers degree programmes in a range of computer science fields including embedded systems, data science, machine learning, web technologies and interactive computer systems.

Department of Electronic Systems

The department conducts internationally recognized research and offers degree programmes in digital technologies including communication, antennas, robotics, AI, sound, and cybersecurity.

Department of Architecture, Design and Media Technology

The department's vision is to exploit and investigate the interaction between creativity and technology with the aim of developing new growth areas in research and education aimed at users or participants.

Department of Sustainability and Planning

The department's unique research and degree programmes have a broad focus on sustainability and green transition, and include areas such as circular economy and energy planning as well as sustainable transition and design. We deal with planning, technology and society with a view to creating a more sustainable future.

Digitalisation is essential for the green transition. At TECH, we target both.

Thomas Bak, Dean

Our approach to creating knowledge for the world involves focusing our efforts on sustainability. Through our degree programmes, research and close partnerships with stakeholders all over the world, we help create a sustainable future for generations to come. We often combine our efforts on sustainability with our other major focus area: Digitalisation We are making digital marks — both by increasing digital competences in all our degree programmes and by offering Danish companies a customized, research-based digital boost.

TECH STRATEGY

TECH will transform the global community towards balance by leading the development of digital technologies, design and planning, and training graduates.
