Explore a future in electric mobility
Electric mobility (or e-mobility) refers to the use of vehicles powered entirely or partially by electricity. It encompasses a wide range of electric transportation options, including electric cars, trains, buses, boats, bicycles, and even electric aircraft. Electric mobility is seen as a key component in the shift towards greener, more sustainable transportation systems globally, contributing to reducing dependence on fossil fuels and combating climate change.
Electric mobility at KTH
KTH offers a wide variety of courses in the field of electric mobility, spread across different programmes and departments. This page aims to provide a comprehensive overview of relevant courses in the field and how you can incorporate them in your programme. Since the master’s programmes allow for a certain number of elective courses, electric mobility courses are available to students from various fields and programmes. You can create an electric mobility course package by selecting some of these courses as electives within your programme. In some programmes, courses listed below may already be included as mandatory, and then you can add additional courses to build an electric mobility profile for your degree.
