Choosing courses
The programme consists of mandatory courses, conditionally elective courses and elective courses. To obtain a degree from the Engineering Physics programme, it is required that you choose your courses in accordance with the rules stated below.
None Mandatory courses There are two mandatory courses for all students in the programme (irrespectively of track) and these two courses are usually taken during year 2 of the programme:
AK2030 Theory and methodology of science (Natural and Technological Sciences)
SH2007 Research methodology in physics
In addition, each of the tracks in the program has two mandatory courses. All student within the track have to take these courses. You will find the list of track specific mandatory courses under your track in "Study programme".
Conditionally elective courses In addition to the mandatory courses, you must have at least 25 credits among the conditionally elective courses listed within your track. The list of these courses are also found in "Study programme".
Elective courses Finally, you have the freedom to chose elective courses for about 40-45 credits (depending on track). According to KTH regulations, you are not allowed to take more courses than "necessary to get your degree". This means that the total number of credits on standard courses within the programme should be at least 90 credits and at most 97,5 credits (master thesis course of 30 credits uncounted).
As elective courses, you can choose other suitable courses from you own track or from other tracks within the programme. You are also allowed to take courses from other educational programs at KTH or elsewhere. This gives you quite a lot of freedom when choosing elective courses, but remember that there should be a logical connection between the courses, and that they should prepare you for the final 30-credit degree project.
It is always a good idea to check with your programme director or track guide (see “Programme organization”) if your choice of elective courses is suitable.
You are allowed to take maximum 15 credits of elective courses in fields not directly related to the programme, but with some relevance to an engineer. This could be language courses, economy, management etc. It can also be engineering, programming or math courses not related to your track, but which you consider important for your future career. (Examples of courses that are not allowed are “hobby courses” like cooking, bartending etc!)
Studies abroad Up to one year of the studies can be carried out abroad, i.e. you must take at least 60 credits from courses at KTH.
Feel free to contact your programme director or track guide if there is something you want to discuss.
