KTH Royal Institute & Technology

Cybersecurity is a broad and multi-faceted subject. It ranges from fundamental computing theory to software engineering, computer communication, large-scale distributed systems, and physical process control into human and social behaviour. The programme is rooted in computer science and reaches out to aspects of the business and social context of cybersecurity.

In this programme, you will learn the mathematical and statistical foundations and methods for machine learning with the goal of modelling and discovering patterns from observations. You will also gain practical experience in matching, applying and implementing relevant machine learning techniques to solve real-world problems in a broad range of application domains

The global demand for affordable and sustainable resources has created a significant need for electrical engineers and researchers to provide electricity and to build new smart solutions that enable more sustainable energy management. This is the programme for those who want to develop components, systems and management of electric power.

Communication networks have evolved dramatically over recent decades. Accommodating the data traffic generated by billions of users and trillions of digital devices requires continuous technological evolution. Innovative internet and wireless infrastructure will be needed to cater for these challenging and unprecedented growth and performance characteristics. The master's programme in Communications Systems will prepare you for a career in such an essential field for our society.

The programme consists of studio-based teaching, orientation courses, seminar courses and a final independent degree project. Through the different stages of the programme, you will complete six studio projects, each providing an opportunity to apply and develop skills in varied areas of the learning process. The annual selection procedure allows you to list your preferences for the studios on offer.

This master's programme gives you advanced knowledge in the field of Structural Engineering as well as in the subjects of Civil or Architectural Engineering. You learn how to implement this knowledge by comprehensively understanding buildings and infrastructure as advanced technical systems. The programme offers advanced-level courses that often relate to real-life projects and the use of state-of-the-art tools for design and modelling.

The programme has no tracks and there is a significant degree of freedom for you to select courses within the programme, given that the specific course prerequisites are fulfilled. The courses offered within the programme are based on a combination of theoretical and practical approaches, both in the field and laboratory, using tools such as GIS, different computer models and tools for decision support.

The master's programme in Aerospace Engineering offers you a broad, challenging and internationally acknowledged education. It provides skills in aerospace modelling and design, solving complex engineering tasks, collaboration with others in project work, and communicating results and findings professionally. The programme at KTH is highly international, with contacts and students from all over the world. The astronaut and KTH alumnus Christer Fuglesang is the chairman of the Progamme's Advisory Board.

This two-year master's programme comprises advanced courses that focus on tools used to analyse various biological samples for life science research, as well as for healthcare applications within diagnostics and drug development. You will gain in-depth knowledge about scientific methodologies used for comprehensive analyses of biological systems, and their applications for advanced health care or medical surveillance. The programme offers extensive biotechnology training to tackle global needs in the area of life sciences, preparing you for careers both in Sweden and internationally.

Mechatronics combines mechanical, electrical and computer systems to create intelligent, user-friendly products and services. KTH's research and education activities within Mechatronics are conducted closely with a wide range of industries, offering excellent opportunities to complete smaller projects during your studies and your final degree project at a company. In the longer term, this close collaboration also enables us to identify future industry needs and evolve our curriculum and teaching accordingly. The master's programme in Mechatronics has previously been a track on the master's programme in Engineering Design, but is from 2024 given as its own programme.

The programme's main focus is understanding the creation of value for customers.The programme consists of several tailored courses exclusively provided for the programme. They form a detailed understanding of the three levels of value creation and the interrelation between them. The learning process throughout the programme is enhanced by the integrated design of the compulsory courses – where case assignments, problem-based learning, and interaction with the industry are of central importance
