The aim of the article is to present the structure of the engineering educational system in Denmark with special emphasis on control engineering education at university level. In comparison with other European countries, the Danish system is unique in including four types of engineering schools: Technical University, Ålborg University Center, Engineering Academy, and Engineering Colleges. The curricula are based on the module systems, which in principle gives students great freedom in selection and combination of courses. For each engineering school the specific requirements and options are listed for lines/branches, which offer specialisation in automatic control. In conclusion the Danish engineering system is briefly compared with the systems in the other Scandinavian countries.
