General admission requirements and the following special admission requirements must be fulfilled in order to be admitted: Internationally recognized bachelor's degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or Information Technology, including at least 60 ECTS (credits) courses in computer science, basic digital and analogue electronics, basic control theory, computer systems/computer architecture and programming, and at least 30 ECTS in mathematics, including analysis (calculus), linear algebra and mathematical statistics.
Within the programme there may be courses with additional entry requirements. The requirements are stated under the heading "Specific prerequisites" in the syllabus.
The selection process for non-mobility specialisations is based on the following criteria: study results (grades, relevant subjects), motivation for studies (motivation letter, program priority, CV, references, innovation proposal) and prior education. Prior education is evaluated based on the quality and suitability of the subjects that are relevant for the program applied for. Prior education is evaluated based on the Swedish Higher Education Authority´s standards for Swedish higher education institutions. For international higher education institutions, university rankings are used. The merit rating is carried out on a scale of 1-75. The selection process is administered by KTH.
The selection process for mobility specialisations is managed by EIT Digital.
