Master's Degree Project at MST

The Microsystem Technology (MST) Lab offers both internal and external Master thesis projects.

In the internal projects you are given a task in orur research. The work is normally carried out at the department and we will appoint a supervisor to guide you in the work. The list below will give you some suggestions for projects of this kind.

The external projects are often carried out in cooperation with a company. You will then solve a company-specific problem with supervision from someone at the company. You will also have a supervisor from S3-MST, but normally the day-to-day supervision will be provided by the company. In the list below you may from time to time also find some external projects. You can also find project suggestions from companies or from Exjobbspoolen. If the suggested projects are in the fields of Microsystem Technology (MST, MEMS) or Measurement Technology you should then contact us to se if we can accept the project and supervise you.

If you are a KTH-EE student we can accept you as a master thesis student provided we have a suitable project that matches your competence. Students from other schools at KTH must have a permission from their school. Also students from universities with which KTH has regular exchange agreements can normally be accepted under the exchange agreement. Students from other universities may in some cases be accepted on a case by case basis provided that they have competence for the project and that they can show that their home university will validate the thesis work.
