Education

KTH's higher education engineering programs are professional programs that provide the technical competence needed in most industries today. You become a problem-solving engineer with a good understanding of how economics and technology are jointly the basis for a company's development. The education focuses on courses in economics during the first semester. From the second semester, you choose to deepen your knowledge in one of the technical specializations: Data, Electrical, Chemical, Construction, or Medical technology. The education ends with a thesis that is usually carried out by processing a question from an external organization, often a company, which you solve as a deepening of your studies and application of what you have learned at KTH.

Specializations

• Byggteknik and design 180 hp, KTH Campus
• Datateknik 180 hp, KTH Flemingsberg
• Elektroteknik 180 hp, KTH Flemingsberg
• Kemiteknik 180 hp, KTH Campus

KTH's education provides a solid foundation for lifelong learning. This means that you will have the ability to continue learning on your own even after your education to be able to solve problems of various kinds. You will have a good foundation for further personal development to be able to keep up with the rapid technological development and the future labor market. You have the opportunity to start working directly after graduation, but you will also have a good foundation for further studies at the master's level.

Student Life

The student life at KTH consists of much more than just studies. As a student on Teknik och ekonomi, you belong to the Ingenjörssektionen Flemingsberg during the first semester. Which section you belong to for the remaining semesters depends on the specialization you choose for semester 2. The sections at KTH are part of the Tekniska Högskolans Studentkĺr (THS) and are run by the students themselves. They exist to promote social student life, develop the quality of education, and strengthen contact with the business community. In addition to the sections, there are also several student associations for sports, revues, events, careers, or various social special interests.

International Opportunities

KTH offers many opportunities for foreign studies. Carrying out part of your studies abroad is an opportunity to sharpen your CV, discover the world, and make friends for life. Having experience of exchange studies can prepare you for work and contacts with other countries. Students are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunities available and read a semester at one of KTH's many partner universities around the world. Sometimes it can also include a field study or participation in projects with companies or writing a thesis abroad.

Teknik och ekonomi for a Sustainable World

The education teaches you to understand and develop solutions for several of the global goals for sustainable development, primarily the goals of Decent work and economic growth, Industry, innovation, and infrastructure, and Sustainable consumption and production. You develop competence in "economics" in the basic sense of "managing resources," and learn to:

• Work for sustainable, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment with decent working conditions for all.
• Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and promote innovation.
• Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.

Sustainable development is important in all of KTH's education and is integrated into the program's curriculum, both in project courses and theses. You will gain current knowledge of the tools and methods that society needs to change in a more sustainable direction.
