The programme consists of 300 credits, corresponding to five years of full-time studies, of which courses in the first, second and third years of study are at the first cycle level and the courses in the fourth and fifth years of study are at the second cycle level. The language of instruction in the first cycle level is primarily Swedish. The language of instruction in the second cycle level is primarily English.

The programme is characterised by the students taking courses in industrial economics and management  in parallel with courses in mathematics and the natural sciences, as well as courses from within the framework of a selected technical specialisation. In addition, courses in a number of programme-specific subjects  continue through year 1-5.

The programme features five broad technical specialisations within the first cycle level, these provide the elegibility requirements for different specialisations within the selected technical specialisation at the second cycle level. 

At present, the following technical specialisations are offered within the programme:

Biotechnology for Industrial Engineering

Computer Science and Communications for Industrial Engineering

Energy Systems and Sustainable Development for Industrial Engineering

Product Realisation for Industrial Engineering

Applied Mathematics for Industrial Engineering

The last two years of the programme are conducted within the framework of the Master's Programme in Industrial Engineering and Management (TIEMM), where courses within the chosen technical specialisation and within the subject of Industrial Economics and Management  continue at the second-cycle level.
