Lists of textbooks

Here you can find lists of the textbooks and learning materials you will need for the bachelor of engineering programme. The lists are updated before each semester, so please check them regularly.

Preferably, you should buy your textbooks before the start of each semester, so that you are ready to use them from day one.

Textbooks can be bought in bookstores like Saxo (www.saxo.com - in Danish), Academic Books (www.academicbooks.dk) or Polyteknisk boghandel (https://www.polyteknisk.dk/). On some of the homepages you can find the list of textbooks for your programme and buy all of them in one go.

You might also be lucky to find used books at e.g. www.pensum.dk or www.studiesalg.dk.

You have to be aware that there are many different editions of the given textbooks. As a general rule we try to use the newest editions. It will be possible for you to use an older edition of some of the textbooks but you will be challenged when it comes to page numbering and the assignments given in the books.
