Msc Conception d'Ingénierie

The master's program in Engineering Design covers product development and its growing complexity driven by rising demands for functionality, sustainability, and innovation. Students in the program acquire essential technical and organizational skills for the successful development and engineering of a wide range of technical products.

Engineering Design with specialisation in Machine Design

The master's programme in Engineering Design provides tools, models and methodologies for designing mechanical products and industrial systems.

Engineering Design student Suranjan's degree project contributes to amputees' quality of life

The first semester starts with courses introducing various aspects of engineering design and enhancing essential skills within the subject. For the second and third semesters, you will learn how to create, select, dimension, optimise and verify high-quality and cost-effective technical products. We supply these skills through efficient aid and support from industrially relevant, state-of-the-art tools and methods. Students learn to develop and engineer innovative technical systems and high-performing components and acquire a holistic design approach and specialist knowledge. The programme culminate in the advanced project courses that tackle real-life industrial challenges or research problems in close cooperation with industrial companies. Throughout the programme, traditional lectures, exercises, seminars, assignments and laboratory experiments are learning tools in the courses.

Mechatronics track

The Mechatronics track of the master's programme in Engineering Design has been transformed into a new programme.

• Master's programme in Mechatronics

Students in the programme will specialise in Machine Design. You will learn how to create, select, dimension, optimise and verify high-quality and cost-effective technical products. We supply these skills through efficient aid and support from industrially relevant, state-of-the-art tools and methods. The programme focuses on developing and engineering innovative technical systems and high-performing components and relies on a holistic design approach and specialist knowledge.

Your degree will conclude with an individual degree project in which you work closely with local industry or a KTH research group.

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).

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.
