Beschreibung des Programms

The master's programme in Engineering Physics bridges the gap between theoretical physics and practical engineering, seeking to develop future technology. Solving complex problems is an integral part of education, demanding in-depth knowledge of physics, as well as analytical and computational tools. Through specialisations, students become domain experts in one field of physics and go on to advanced industrial R&D positions or PhD studies.

Engineering Physics at KTH

The master's programme in Engineering Physics educates students aiming to work at the forefront of the development of future technology. You will learn about state-of-the-art experimental and computational methods and gain the requisite skills to create new innovations. Graduates from the programme usually find their first jobs as development engineers in innovation- and development-oriented companies or as PhD students in academia.

The programme offers five tracks: Theoretical Physics, Subatomic and Astrophysics, Biomedical Physics, Optics and Photonics, and Quantum Technology. You choose a track directly when you start the master’s programme in Engineering Physics. Each track contains a few mandatory courses and several conditionally elective courses. You must choose at least 40 ECTS credits of courses within your track to obtain deep knowledge and adequate skills within one subfield of physics. Elective courses are an essential part of the programme and give you a great deal of freedom to tailor your own competence profile related to physics.

Biomedical Physics

The Biomedical Physics track focuses on using physics for applications and research in the life sciences, including biology, chemistry and medicine.

Optics and Photonics

The Optics and Photonics track focuses on applications where light and other types of electromagnetic radiation interact with matter.

Quantum Technology

The Quantum Technology track focuses on engineering systems to manipulate and measure quantum states with applications in information processing, secure communication and sensing.

Subatomic and Astrophysics

The Subatomic and Astrophysics track covers numerous fundamental science topics at the forefront of contemporary physics.

Theoretical Physics

The Theoretical Physics track provides a broad education in fundamental theoretical physics and computational physics.

Informationen über das Institut

KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm is one of Europe’s leading technical universities, as well as a key centre of intellectual talent and innovation. We are Sweden’s largest technical research and learning institution and home to students, researchers, and faculty from around the world dedicated to advancing knowledge.

History

KTH is a university with a rich history of pioneering ideas and innovation that dates back to 1827. For nearly 200 years KTH has educated students who have gone on to influence our present and make the technological advances that define modern society. Still today, KTH shapes the talents that will find the solutions for tomorrow’s challenges.

Research

KTH is working with industry and society in the pursuit of sustainable solutions to some of humanity’s most significant challenges: climate change, future energy supply, urbanisation, and quality of life for the rapidly-growing elderly population. We are addressing these with world-leading, high-impact research and education in natural sciences and all branches of engineering, as well as in architecture, industrial management, urban planning, history, and philosophy. Almost two-thirds of the SEK 4 billion turnovers are related to research.

Basic and applied research is performed side-by-side at KTH and interdisciplinary research is conducted in parallel with work in specific fields.

Career

KTH maintains close relationships with an expanding network of international companies and the industrial community in a number of fields, and working and studying here provides access to this network.

The latest career report shows that 94 percent of those who graduated from KTH 2010-2012 have been employed since they finished their degree and a remaining 6 percent have gone on to Ph.D. studies. Of the international student population, 30 percent go on to Ph.D. studies at KTH or other renowned universities. 32 percent of KTH Alumni leave Sweden for work or studies abroad. 13 percent lead others in their work, and 13 percent have already received their first managerial position.
