Conditions for participation in the programme

For studies in study year 2:

At least 45 higher education credits must be completed from study year 1 by the end of the examination period in August.  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 year.  In the study plan, the remaining elements should be included as well as suitable courses from the next study year.  Special consideration should be given to the courses’ prerequisites.

Recognition of previous academic studies

The student has the possibility to apply for recognition of previous academic studies from course(s) from another university or higher education institution, national or international.

Students within the programme have the possibility to implement a part of the curriculum at ENSAM in France.  There is also a possibility to obtain a degree from each university.  Students from ENSAM have the same possibility to study a part of their education at KTH within Masterprogrammet Industrial Production.  This may even lead to degrees from both universities.

Students in the programme have the possibility to carry out the degree project outside of Sweden.
