Why did you choose this master’s programme at KTH?
If I want to search for a university with a good combination of theoretical and practical aspects, then KTH will always be a good choice, undoubtedly with a great ranking. It is one of the most prestigious universities in the world for technological education. The School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science are great with teaching, research, and real-time projects, making me keenly interested in KTH.
How do studies at KTH differ from your previous studies?
Here at KTH, the course plan is focused on hands-on projects and assignments, the course curriculum is so well structured, and there are so many elective courses that I can choose as my interest.
The academic year is divided into two semesters, so I can spend more time getting profound lessons. In previous studies, I got three semesters in one academic year, which is very tough to manage to go deep in any subject.
Another benefit of getting to know different cultural students and teamwork with them is the increased cooperation and leading skills I am acquiring from KTH.
