General admission requirements and the following special admission requirements must be fulfilled in order to be admitted to the programme:
- Bachelor's degree of at least 180 credits relevant to the master's programme, preferably in the subject areas of physics, electrical engineering, materials science, chemistry or equivalent education within technology/natural sciences.
- Courses in mathematics corresponding to at least 20 ECTS credits.
- Courses in physics corresponding to at least 30 ECTS credits.
Within the programme there may be courses with additional requirements of specific prerequisites. The requirements are stated under the heading "Specific prerequisites" in the course syllabus.
The selection process is based on the following criteria: study results (interweaving of grades and relevant subjects and other/previous studies (e.g. MSc program)), motivation for studies (motivation letter/thesis proposal, letter of recommendation, work experience, courses, extracurricular activities). 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 (various lists like URAP, QS, THE) and experience are used. The merit rating is carried out on a scale of 1-75.
For students admitted to a 5-year engineering programme at KTH with a place guarantee for this programme, the above corresponds by the following courses within the respective programme. The course codes refer to the admission year 2021 on the 5-year engineering programme and may vary for other admission years.
