Exchange universities for double master's degree: Nuclear Energy Engineering
Exchange studies for dual master's degree is available for students in Nuclear Energy Engineering. The master's programme in Nuclear Energy Engineering has dual master's agreements with Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in Daejeon, South Korea and also with Tsinghua University in Beijing, China.
South Korea
Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST)
The dual master's program includes one year of studies at KTH (60 ECTS) and one year of studies at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) (60 ECTS).
The students can choose to participate in the Dual Degree Master's Programme with the Department of Nuclear and Quantum Engineering at KAIST (South Korea). After the completion of this programme students will also receive a diploma from KTH as well as from KAIST. KAIST offers our students exceptionally large variety of excellent courses, such as "Fast Reactor Design and Analysis", "Nuclear Power Plant Design", "Nuclear Fuel Engineering", "Mechanics of Irradiated Materials", and many other. Nuclear power research in South Korea is very active with projects involving a variety of advanced reactors, including a small modular reactor, a liquid-metal fast/transmutation reactor, and a high-temperature hydrogen generation design. South Korea has currently 24 nuclear reactors in operation and 5 reactors under construction.
The programme is given in English.
China
The dual master's program includes one year of studies at KTH (60 ECTS) and one year of studies at Tsinghua University (60 ECTS).
Students of our Nuclear Energy Engineering programme have a possibility to carry out a part of the study at Tsinghua University (Beijing, China) within a Dual Master's Degree Programme. After the completion of the programme students receive a diploma from both KTH and Tsinghua university. Apart from broadening the world vision for nuclear engineering thanks to academic and cultural interactions, students get the opportunity to select from a variety of unique courses at Tsinghua, such as "Probabilistic Risk Analysis Methodology", "Design of Nuclear Reactors", "Advanced Reactor Physics", and many other. China has currently 44 nuclear reactors in operation and 13 reactors under construction. China ranks third in the world by nuclear power generated.
The programme is given in English.
