Location of Linköping University
Linköping University is a research-based university known for excellence in education. Being innovative and offering knowledge truly in demand has been the guiding star ever since the start in the late 60's. We have a long tradition of welcoming international students.
- Studying at LiU meansstudent-centred learning and high quality teaching. We are proud to say that among Swedish universities our ambitious and hardworking students have the highest success rates on their exams.
- Student labs and other facilities are of the highest international standard, giving you a chance to get a fruitful hands-on experience in addition to advanced theoretical studies.
- Students from LiU are attractive to industry and society. One year after graduation more than 85 per cent has a permanent position. In a national survey by the National Agency for Higher Education among engineering alumni, the LiU alumni gave the highest rank for education quality and student experience.
The Mechanical Engineering master's programme deals with the product development cycle from an engineering perspective, encompassing everything from idea and design through management and supply-chain mechanics to the final product.
Contents
The programme starts with a semester of mandatory, traditional mechanical engineering courses ranging from Optimisation and Engineering Materials to Probability and Statistics.
The mandatory courses prepare students for further study in one of the programme's specialisation areas:
- Engineering Systems Design, which includes all aspects from classical machine design to mechatronics.
- Engineering Mechanics, comprises classical and modern applied mechanics with a strong focus on modelling and simulation.
- Manufacturing Engineering and Management, which spans the vast area between automated manufacturing processes to supply-chain management
- Aerospace and Automotive Engineering, which focuses on the design engineering aspects of advanced vehicles.
The final semester of the Mechanical Engineering master's programme is devoted to the degree project work.
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.

An official document stating that you are likely to be awarded the degree by the start of the Swedish programme must be sent in with your application. The document must be issued through and certified by a representative of the Academic Registrar's Office, the Examinations Office or equivalent of the institution. Certification from other staff members, such as faculty or college staff members, will not be accepted. The degree certificate has to be presented after registration by 15 October.

- the average grade is in the lower third of the grading scale used in the country where the degree was awarded (i.e. grades have to be average/pass level or above, the equivalent to the Swedish grade "Godkänd")
- the degree does not qualify for admission to equivalent master's programmes in the country where the degree is awarded.
Programme specific requirements
Mechanical Engineering, 120 credits
Applicants are expected to have:
- a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent.
- at least 30 ECTS credits, in mathematics/applied mathematics and/or application of mathematics.
Language tests in English
Applicants must have documented skills in English corresponding to the level of English in Swedish upper secondary education (English B). For applicants who have not studied in Swedish upper secondary education, skills in English are normally attested to by means of an international language test, such as:

NB! TOEFL Examinee Score Records are not accepted. All TOEFL tests must be sent straight from Educational Testing Service (ETS).
- International English Language Testing Service (IELTS) - Academic modules, an overall mark of 6.5 and no section below 5.5
- Cambridge ESOL Certificate of Proficiency in English/CPE or Certificate in Advanced English/CAE.
