The nominal study period is 3 years, which is equivalent to 180 credits. The programme is at undergraduate level.

The programme provides a broad technical base with possibilities of specialization and optional elements further in as well as further education at a higher level.

The joint courses within the first two years of study comprise the basics of electrical principles, electronics, telecommunications and computer networking. Basics of programming and mathematics - important tools for an engineer - are also taught in the first two years of study. The programme also contains courses which broaden technical knowledge with considerations such as economy and organisation, environmental and labour sciences, and engineering fundamentals, in preparation for a professional role as an engineer.

During the third year, one of three specializations is chosen:

  • Embedded systems
  • Telecommunications and computer networking
  • Electrical Power

The programme is conducted primarily in Swedish. Further into the programme, certain subjects are in English, and some English course literature will be used.
