Why did you choose this master's programme at KTH?

I concentrated on Thermal Sciences in my bachelor's degree. The academic curriculum, internships and thesis helped me in advanced learning about industrial processes. My main reasons for choosing this master's programme were that the Sustainable Power Generation track courses in the Sustainable Energy Engineering programme delved deeper into the technical aspects of industrial processes and steps to enhance the overall efficiency. Moreover, the research undertaken at the department piqued my interest.

What are the best aspects of your programme?

In my opinion, the best aspects of my programme are the courses and projects. Specifically, the projects offer different platforms to test one's knowledge gained in the classroom and help them visualise the practical application of theoretical concepts. Further, the project groups are formed randomly in many courses, offering an opportunity to meet and work with new people. Another aspect of my programme is the regular occurrence of technical and social events, like games and dinners organised by the department.

On the academic front, the faculty, well-structured courses, technical events and laboratories bring the best out of the individuals. One's perspective diversifies while mingling with students from different backgrounds and cultures. Moreover, the networking and technical events conducted by various industries and research institutes at KTH offer many great opportunities to enhance one's professional prospects.
