Implementation of the education

Each academic year consists of two semesters which are 20 weeks each,and each semester is further divided into two study periods.

The programme in Electrical Engineering during the first three years consists mainly of compulsory courses in mathematics, electrical systems and physics. The fourth year, the student chooses from several available specialisations in conjunction with a Master’s programme.

The grading scale is found in the course syllabus.

Participation requires admission to courses within the programme and course registration.

For further studies, special admission requirements for the course are to be fulfilled. Special admission requirements are listed in the respective course syllabus.

In order to be eligible for advanced level studies within the integrated Master of Science programmes at KTH, you are required to complete 165 credits from year one through three. Of these, 110 credits must be from the year 1 and 2 curricula. In addition to these credits, the bachelor thesis needs to be completed before Master’s level studies commence.

Additional specific eligibility requirements may exist for certain programmes. These can be found in the programme syllabuses of the respective programme.

Within the education there are requirements for the implementation of two degree project courses. The degree project in the first cycle comprises 15 higher education credits and the degree project in the second cycle comprises 30 higher education credits.

The project work may begin when special admission requirements for the course are fulfilled.

The degree is called Civilingenjörsexamen - Master of Science of Engineering. The text on the degree certificate states the educational programme, Electrical Engineering, that has been completed by the student.
