What to study?

You decide on a specialization that suits your interests. You have a lot of freedom in your course choice, but some requirements must be fulfilled to obtain your degree. These requirements are listed below.

You are welcome to study at KTH for two years (or even more if necessary), but our experience is that many students want to pass all requirements for the degree in 1.5 years, which is possible if you plan your studies well.

The following minimum requirements apply:Minimum requirements to obtain your degree Double degree students in Electrical Engineering at KTH consist of two groups: those who do courses and their degree project at KTH and those who only do courses. ¶

Students nominated for 60 credits courses and the final degree project must:• Complete technical/ science courses, of which at least 42 credits* must be within one specialization (60 credits)• Complete a Master’s Degree Project (30 credits)

*The 42 credits required for a degree include mandatory and conditionally elective courses. Some programs list "elective courses" in the course catalog. These courses are recommended electives but do not count toward the 42 credits of specialization courses required for the diploma.

Students nominated for three terms of courses and take the final degree project at home university must:

• Completed technical/science courses according to an individual study planwithin a master specialization: 90 credits

Mandatory courses:

* Sustainability course.
* The course "The Sustainable ELF/ELP/INN/SCR Engineer" is offered as a 1,5 credits version, covering one year, for double degree students in four Master programme specializations. (EF2221/EH2221/EQ2223/EL2221).
* For other specializations, we refer to the course II2210.

* A course in the theory and methodology of science (like AK2036/ AK2030). This course is offered in different periods a year, so you should be able to find a time in your study plan that works.
Every student must have an approved study plan. The study plan is put together individually and has to be approved by the programme director. Please check the requirements with your home university as well. If you have questions, please contact your international coordinator or programme director.

Please note: You are not allowed to have courses with too much overlap in your degree. For example, you cannot take II2202 and II2210 or take a similar course at KTH that you already studied at your home university.

For students admitted before autumn term 2022:

• Swedish language courses up to level B1/B2: 30 credits (without previous knowledge)Students from the autumn term of 2022 do not have to take Swedish language courses. However, we still encourage you to learn at least some Swedish, given that you aim for a Swedish professional degree.
