Structure of the education

The programme begins with a common course packet which gives a solid base for the three specialisations – Power Production, Energy Usage and Solar Energy – which is given mainly during the second term. The third term consists of extended studies within the energy area with a research preparation perspective. The programme is concluded with a degree project during the last term.

Study years, terms, and study period descriptions can be found in the KTH Regulations.

Courses

The programme is course-based. Lists of courses are included in Appendix 1: Course list

Grading system

Courses in the first and the second cycle are graded on a scale from A to F. A-E are passing grades, A is the highest grade. The grades pass (P) and fail (F) are used for courses under certain circumstances.
