Courses for Electric Power Engineering

The two-year master's programme in Electric Power Engineering consists of three terms of courses and one final term dedicated to the master's degree project. Each term consist of approximately 30 ECTS credits. Depending on which track you choose, you will study different courses. The courses presented on this page apply to studies starting in autumn 2024.

Year 1

The programme consists of compulsory courses, two groups of conditionally elective courses (where a number of hp must be read from each group), a degree project and completely optional courses.

  • Mandatory courses. All mandatory courses must be read for a degree. 
  • Conditionally elective courses in Electric Power and Energy Systems. At least 22,5 credits must be read for the degree. It is free to read the courses year 1, or year 2, if the course's special eligibility requirements are met.
  • Conditionally optional project courses (VVP). Of these, at least 7.5 credits must be studied for a degree. It is free to read the courses either in year 1, or year 2, if the course's specific prerequisites are met.
  • Recommended/Elective courses. All courses at KTH that do not overlap with other courses in the program. The following courses may be of particular interest to students in electrical engineering:                  EP2120 Internetworking                                                                         
    EP2500 Networked Systems Security                                 
    EP2510 Advanced Networked Systems Security                   
    SF2812, Applied Linear Optimization                                  
    SF2822, Applied Nonlinear Optimization                                             
    EH2030, Business Development and Quality Management       
    MJ2411, Renewable Energy Technology                                   
                                                      
                               
                         
                          
    DD2421, Machine Learning                                               
    IK2218, Protocols and Principles of the Internet

The project courses EN2911 Individual Project in Electric Power and Energy Systems I and EN2912 Individual Project in Electric Power and Energy Systems II are also included in the category of conditionally elective project courses. In order to take this courses, the student has to first contact an examiner and agree upon a suitable topic.
