Beschreibung des Programms

In Master in Mechatronics the use of electronics and software to enhance mechanical products is increasingly complex yet critical to meet future needs of functionality and performance. Students in the master's program in Mechatronics explore the synergistic integration of mechanical, electrical, control, and software engineering. As a graduate, you will have the skills to thrive in this multidisciplinary environment.

Mechatronics at KTH

Mechatronics combines mechanical, electrical and computer systems to create intelligent, user-friendly products and services. KTH's research and education activities within Mechatronics are conducted closely with a wide range of industries, offering excellent opportunities to complete smaller projects during your studies and your final degree project at a company. In the longer term, this close collaboration also enables us to identify future industry needs and evolve our curriculum and teaching accordingly. The master's programme in Mechatronics has previously been a track on the master's programme in Engineering Design, but is from 2024 given as its own programme.

Growing demands on functionality, sustainability and innovation continuously increase the complexity of product development. Another challenge facing many engineers today is the sheer scale of information exchange and communication required in product development. These challenges significantly affect mechatronics engineers since they rely on multidisciplinary knowledge and skills and an increasingly broad awareness when interacting with design teams across other disciplines. In response to these challenges, our programme focuses heavily on problem-based learning, hands-on lab experience, teamwork, project organisation, communication and management. You will gain a cross-disciplinary holistic understanding of design and development, preparing you for large complex projects in industry or academia. The KTH Prototype Centre offers a machine shop and one of the world's largest aggregations of scholars, PhDs, professors and students. They have the skills and tools to prototype your product and can significantly support your studies and any additional projects you undertake.

During your studies, you will develop key competencies in motion control, robotics, embedded systems, real-time programming and distributed systems. As well as these core courses, you can specialise in areas such as control engineering, AI/ML, robotics and medical technology.

As a student in the master's programme in Mechatronics, you will develop the skills necessary to conduct professional development work in almost any engineering field. In summary, upon completion of the programme, you will be able to:

  • Professionally apply systematic engineering methods to address complex, multidisciplinary real-world engineering problems related to robotics and mechatronics systems.
  • Proficiently apply advanced, integrated technical knowledge in mechatronics and the underpinning sciences and scientific methods.
  • Identify and critically evaluate current developments and emerging trends within the robotics, intelligent systems, and industrial automation sectors.
  • Understand the contextual factors that influence professional engineering practice, and identify the potential societal, ethical, and environmental impact of engineering activities.
  • Communicate effectively with colleagues, other engineering professionals, and the broader community using various communication tools.
  • Engage in independent investigation, critical reflection, and lifelong learning to continue practising at the discipline's forefront.
  • Work effectively and proactively within cross-cultural, multidisciplinary teams, demonstrating autonomy, ethical conduct, expert judgement, adaptability, and responsibility to achieve engineering outcomes at a high standard.

This is a two-year programme (120 ECTS credits) given in English. Graduates are awarded the degree of Master of Science. The programme is given mainly at KTH Campus in Stockholm by the School of Industrial Engineering and Management (at KTH).

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.
