Structure of the education

Study years, terms, and study periods are described in KTH’s guidelines, www.kth.se

 Structure of the education

The programme is a continuation of a degree within technology or natural science.  It has the following structure.

Year 1

The participants in the programme are first given an overview, comprising 45 higher education credits, which contain 6 or 7.5 higher education credits which are obligatory.  In this base, the fundamental skills and questions within innovation and entrepreneurship are introduced.

In the other half of the programme, the degree project, which is on the advanced level comprising 15 higher educational credits is given as a course.  The degree project is a scientific final work which analyzes an entrepreneurial/innovation project.

Courses

The programme is course-based. Lists of courses are included in Appendix 1: Course list

Grading system

Courses in the first and the second cycle are graded on a scale from A to F. A-E are passing grades, A is the highest grade. The grades pass (P) and fail (F) are used for courses under certain circumstances.

Conditions for participation in the programme

Term enrolment

A condition in order to participate in the studies is that the student, each spring and autumn must enrol for the coming term.  This is done through “My pages”, between the 1st and 15th of November and the 1st and 15th of May, respectively.

By completing term enrolment, the student has confirmed their intention to study and participate in the programme.  Only after that may the student be able to:
• Register for the term
• Register for courses
• Get results reported
• Receive student aid

Conditions for participation in the courses

Requirements for promotion from term 1 to term 2:

At least 10 higher education credits from term 1 must be completed.

Students who have not fulfilled this requirement must, in collaboration with a study adviser, create an individual study plan.  The main intent with the individual study plan is that the student will complete the remaining elements during the next coming study term.  In the study plan, the remaining elements should be included as well as suitable courses from the next study term.  Special consideration should be given to the courses’ prerequisites.

Recognition of previous academic studies

Students have the possibility to apply for recognition of previous academic studies from course(s) at another higher education institution or university, both national and international.

KTH’s entire policy for recognition of previous academic studies can be found in KTH’s guidelines, www.kth.se

Studies abroad

Students in this programme have no possibility to carry out portions of the programme abroad

Degree project

KTH’s rules for the degree project can be found in KTH’s guidelines, www.kth.se.  Generally, a large portion of the studies must be completed before the degree project can be started.

Degree

In order to earn Degree of Master of Science in Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management (One Year), passing grades in all courses which are included in the student’s study plan are required.  The study plan must comprise 60 higher education credits which include a degree project consisting of 15 higher education credits, in the second cycle.
