Testimonial

One student, Marco, who is currently pursuing the master's in Electromagnetics, Fusion, and Space Engineering at KTH, had the following to say about the program: "I chose this master's programme because it perfectly balances engineering and physics across various subjects. My bachelor's studies were primarily focused on standard engineering topics, which explored electromagnetic theory only to some extent. During that time, I realised that studying math and physics-related subjects felt more natural, which led me to apply for this master's programme. Additionally, I wanted to experience a new and different environment, and Stockholm proved to be the perfect choice due to its high-quality academic setting and the unique Scandinavian culture."

Marco also chose to pursue the Plasma track to specialise in nuclear fusion, and he found the program to be highly rewarding. He said: "I found everyone genuinely willing to help and mentor me in various situations, which is less common in universities with a large student population. Everyone I had the opportunity to work with was always available and considerate, for which I am incredibly grateful."

After graduation, Marco plans to work in the field of nuclear fusion, particularly in numerical modeling or magnetic technology. He is currently exploring which area is the best fit for him through projects at KTH and internships in the fusion field.
