Information and Communication Technology at KTH

ICT is an ever-expanding field and the basis for digitalising human communication. Since the conception of the first personal computer in 1950s and the invention of the World Wide Web in the 1980s, ICT has come to affect human life at its core and all industries and sectors. Today, new systems and services continually evolve as people and products become increasingly connected. At the same time, concepts like AI and quantum computing promise to speed up this development even more. While technology can improve people's quality of life and contribute to the green transition, development requires constantly enhanced security. This evolution creates a demand for ICT experts who strengthen the protection against industrial espionage, fake news and cyber warfare and develop reliable AI, e-health and digital design. As a student in the bachelor’s programme in Information and Communication Technology, you find yourself in the centre of this exciting field.

The programme teaches you about electronics, software, computer science and communications technology. It also integrates technology with economics, leadership and sustainable development – giving you a broad perspective on technological development. The programme has a large proportion of elective courses that allow you to tailor your education.

All teaching is conducted in English in a combination of lectures, laboratory work and practice. You will benefit from the extensive group work that you can do both at future employers and in research environments. The programme is based on the latest research that KTH conducts in collaboration with companies and your teachers are prominent professors from all over the world. Through guest lectures and projects you will meet companies and gain a sounder understanding of your future profession.

The programme is offered at KTH's campus in Kista, one of Europe's leading ICT clusters with around 1,000 companies. Your fellow students come from both Sweden and other countries such as Germany, France, Spain, England and South Korea. Collaborating in intercultural groups is a valuable experience that can lay the foundations for your own international network.

This is a three year programme (180 ECTS credits) given in English. Graduates are awarded the degree of Bachelor of Science. The programme is given by the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (at KTH).
