Location of KTH Royal Institute of Technology

The School of Electrical Engineering (EE) offers a Master's Programme in Electrophysics, focusing on the foundations of electrical engineering: electromagnetic fields and their interaction with matter. Physical principles, mathematical methods, and numerical models make up the core of the programme, providing the tools and skills needed to describe electromagnetic processes and analyse complex systems and problems within the field.

Career prospects
After having completing the programme, the graduates will have knowledge and skills needed to work in several industry sectors, e.g with research and development, or continue an academic career.


Contents

The subject of the programme can be summarized as plasma, space and radio science. Electromagnetic phenomena play an important role in most technologies that modern society relies on, and there is a constant need for experts with a thorough understanding of the physical foundations of electrical engineering. Just a few examples of applied fields where the programme provides relevant expertise are:

* antennas, microwave components, electromagnetic wave propagation in urban and natural environments, in the atmosphere, the ionosphere, as well as under water
* performance of electrical and electronic systems: electromagnetic compatibility, interference control, space weather effects
* space physics and space technology: the space environment around Earth, and its effect on both space-based and ground-based technology
* plasma physics for surface treatment: deposition, etching, ion implantation, thin film technology, and microelectronics applications
* plasma physics for fusion theory and technology; confinement, stability, transport, heating and diagnostics with the ITER experiment in focus

Degree project
The programme is concluded by 30 ECTS credits Individual MSc thesis project. The project can be carried out at KTH, in industry or abroad.
