Kurslitteratur och förberedelser
Särskild behörighet
The basic eligibility for Master’s programme at KTH is a completed Bachelor's degree, equivalent to a Swedish Bachelor's degree (180 credits), from a university recognised by government or accredited by a recognised organisation. Bachelor in Land Surveying, Land Administration, Jurisprudence, Economy or Computer Science or corresponding qualifications. Applicants with bachelor (or equivalent exam) in Economics or Computer Science can only be accepted if they have at least two years of work experience within the field of land management. Sida decides from which countries we may take students and this varies a bit from year to year. At the moment, the only eligible applicants are students living in: Armenia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Ethiopia (Amhara Region), Georgia, Kenya, Kosovo, Kyrgyz Republic, Macedonia, Moldova, Russia, Serbia, Tanzania, Tajikistan, Uganda and Ukraine. Selected students will be required to sign a three years contract with the nominating organisation, pledging themselves to work at the organisation with implementing and development of the cadastral and land management system or as teachers at their home universities in order to build up real estate and land tenure studies there. The students are selected on the bases of tests and personal interviews taking place in their respective home countries. Between mid-January and April/May, staff from KTH will visit all the countries in the programme to test and interview students who have applied for the programme. The tests are to ensure that students know English well enough. The personal interview following the test is to ensure that the student is working in the field of land management and is aware of the tenure concept. In May, the LM-Programme Management at KTH will make a final selection. Thereafter, an "Admission Letter" as well as additional practical information concerning the studies in the LM-programme will be sent out to these students. Unsuccessful applicants, who have not been selected to the programme, will also be notified of the LM-Programme Management’s decision.
