MSc Nuclear Energy (EIT InnoEnergy)

The joint master's programme in Nuclear Energy educates tomorrow’s nuclear engineers on how to address the key technical, social and environmental challenges faced by the industry. Going beyond the scope of traditional nuclear education, the programme helps tomorrow’s engineers understand nuclear power in the context of a diverse energy mix. The programme is offered by four European universities through EIT InnoEnergy.

Smart Electrical Networks and Systems at KTH

Electric power engineering is a critical component in the creation of a more sustainable energy supply. The joint master's programme in Smart Electrical Networks and Systems enables you to develop the technical and entrepreneurial skills needed to design smart grids that integrate renewable energy sources, manage and control power quality, use data-driven applications to enhance electrical solutions and lead the development of innovations such as battery applications, electric mobility and more...

The programme is offered at the following universities:

• KTH: Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden
• TU/e: Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands
• KU Leuven, Belgium
• Grenoble INP Institute of Technology, France
• UPC: Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya · BarcelonaTech, Barcelona, Spain

You will pursue your first year of studies at KTH Royal Institute of Technology or Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya BarcelonaTech, and your second year at one of the other partner universities. You will also be exposed to the know how and expertise of AGH: University of Science and Technology in Poland and Uppsala University in Sweden, who are part of specific programme modules. The business and entrepreneurial elements of the programme are delivered by ESADE Business School in Spain.

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.
