What to study?

As a double degree student, you decide the specialisation (master’s programme) according to your background and interests. You have some freedom in shaping your studies, but there are also some requirements that need to be fulfilled to obtain your degree. You are welcome to study at KTH for two years (or more if necessary). However, many double degree students want to pass all the requirements for the degree in 1.5 years, which is possible if you plan your studies well. Please also check what is required by your home university in terms of the time at KTH. The education programmes At KTH you will belong to one of the five schools at KTH, the School of Engineering Sciences (SCI) and you will be enrolled in one of our education programmes in engineering. Please note that you will not be admitted to a Mmaster’s Pprogramme, even though you will take most courses from one. Depending on your specialisation you will either belong to the degree programme in Engineering Physics (Swedish: Teknisk fysik) or in Vehicle Engineering (Farkostteknik). If you plan on specialising in Aerospace, Engineering Mechanics, Sustainable Energy, Vehicle or Naval you will be registered as a Vehicle Engineering student. If you specialise in Physics, Math or Nuclear you will be registered as an Engineering Physics student.

Minimum requirements in credit units for the double degree:

* Technical/science courses – 60 credits of technical courses at advanced level (including the online course in Ethics and Sustainability II2210 and Theory and Methodology course).
* Swedish language courses – 4 levels and/or elective courses, 30 credits (for example if you begin at a higher level of Swedish you can choose an elective course instead). For the double degree you need to pass the fourth level Swedish B1/B2.
* Final Degree Project – 30 credits
You will only be able to take one extra course (a maximum of about 127.5 credits) and only completed courses can be included in your diploma.

Please note, some universities follow another study plan (TUM Physics and Mathematics and Darmstadt). Students who will study the specialisation Sustainable Energy need to take the course MJ2440 3 ECTS credits as part of the 60.
