Study programme established by the board of the School of ICT 2011-09-01

Valid for students admitted to the education from fall term 12 (HT 2012)

Current list of courses in appendix 1.

The program is organized by a consortium of five European universities in five different countries, where KTH is one of the partners in the consortium. The students spend the first year in one country and the second year in one of the other four countries. After completing the two years, the students are awarded double degrees from the two universities they attended. The name of the program used by the consortium is NordSecMob - Master's Programme in Security and Mobile Computing. The conditions for the education and the requirements for a double degree are determined in a consortium agreement between the rectors of the universities in the consortium. The KTH part of this program is closely related to the Master’s programme in Communication Systems at KTH, and most of the courses are common among the programmes.
