• English course B/English course 6.
• A theoretical depth within the mechatronics technology areas, shown via a substantial number of courses:

         - Mechanical engineering
         - Programming
         - Applied control
         - Electrical engineering: analogue and digital engineering, electrical motors, basic microcontrollers.

The selection process is based on the following criteria: Study results (grades, relevant subjects and/or English), motivation for studies (motivation letter, references, courses and/or relevant work experience) 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.
