Eligibility and selection

Last edit: December 6, 2024
Approved: December 6, 2024

Admission to the programme requires fulfillment of basic eligibility, as well as the following requirements for special eligibility:

  • Basic mathematics courses in linear algebra, analysis in one and several variables, vector analysis and differential equations.
  • Previous education must include studies in electrical engineering or physics, including courses in electromagnetic field theory or plasma.

Recommended prerequisites are courses in analog electronics and complex analysis as well as a continuing course in theoretical electrical engineering.

Within the programme there may be courses with additional requirements for special qualifications. The requirements are stated under the heading "Special eligibility" in the syllabus.

The number of places within the education programme is limited. All training places are added on the basis of a merit value.

The selection process is based on the following criteria: study results (grades, credit subjects and English), motivation for the studies (motivation letter, references, relevant courses and possible work experience) and previous education. Previous education is assessed on the quality that the previous education is considered to have in the subjects that are relevant to the education applied for. To assess this, UKÄ's quality review for Swedish higher education institutions is used. For foreign institutions of higher learning, university ranking or reputation is used. The merit evaluation is done on a scale of 1-75.

For civil engineering students at KTH with a reserved place (mapping) on this programme, the programme's special eligibility requirements are met by the following courses within the respective civil engineering program. The course codes refer to admission year 2021 on the civil engineering program and may vary for other admission years.
