Lectures and packages for KTH programmes

Employees in STEM increasingly need to be able to express themselves in writing and speech. It is therefore important that KTH students develop their skills in writing scientific texts and delivering oral presentations. Our services will help your students to develop these skills and thereby boost student satisfaction, improve your courses’ success rates, and reduce your workload as a teacher at KTH.

Integrated courses in programmes

Tailored courses and modules for your engineering discipline

We adapt the topic to the needs of your programme. Here is an example from the Civil Engineering Programme in Computer Science:

  • Semester 1-2: The course Writing in the Engineering Profession (4.5 credits). The course, given in Swedish, covers various types of text relevant to computer engineers and prepares students for writing in education and working life.
  • Semester 4: A module on oral presentations in an existing course.
  • Semester 6: An integrated module in scientific writing in English, which students take as they write their degree projects.
