135 higher education credits from completed compulsory courses, within these credits these courses must be completed: ME1003 and ML1206

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• XUPP - Thesis Project, 15.0 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

KTH's established criteria to pass degree project for Bachelor of Science in Engineering is in the document "Comprehensive guidelines for degree project courses".
