Utbildningens upplägg

The study year for KTH’s part of the programme is divided into four periods. The study periods correspond to about seven weeks of studies with at least 33 study days. Every study period is followed by an exam period consisting of two dispensable days and at least five exam days.

The programme comprises 1.5 years of full-time studies (90 higher education credits), and a half-year degree project (30 higher education credits). The degree project is normally performed during the spring of the second year.

An individual study plan is prepared for each student.

The courses are classified into Core courses, Concentration courses and Transversal courses (developing abilities like scientific communication, project management and language skills). As a general rule, it is advisable that the student completes 24 ECTS credits from core courses, 48 credits from concentration courses and 18 ECTS credits for transversal courses.

Betygssystem

För kurser på KTH används en sjugradig målrelaterad betygsskala A-F som slutbetyg för kurser på grundnivå och avancerad nivå. A-E är godkända betyg med A som högsta betyg. Betygen godkänd (P) och underkänd (F) används som slutbetyg då särskilda skäl föreligger.

Grades from the different institutions are transferred into the ECTS grading scale.
