Location of KTH Royal Institute of Technology
This programme will educate engineers to work with design and analysis of complex technical systems both from a theoretical and a more practical point of view. It is designed both to provide a solid base for continuing with research as well as a competitive education for an industrial career.
Career prospects
The programme will give the students the skills to design, analyse and build complex systems - both from scratch and by combining functions from different subsystems. Such work is often the core of large industrial projects across all fields and consequently the prospects for employment are good. The prospects for a career in academia are also good. All alumni from the program have got a job and they are spread over the world in both industry and academia . About 20% of the alumni so far have become PhD students at KTH.
Contents
The theme of the Master of Science programme in Systems, Control and Robotics is the analysis, design and construction of complex systems. System development typically requires knowledge from a wide range of technical disciplines. Results from different fields such as control, signal processing, vision and computer science are applied and integrated with disciplines such as robotics, energy systems or networked control systems, with the aim of providing a systems engineering perspective. In this spirit the programme brings together courses from both the School of Electrical Engineering (EES) and the School of Computer Science and Communication (CSC). The programme will educate engineers to work with the design and analysis of complex technical systems both from a theoretical and a more practical point of view. It is designed both to provide a solid base for continuing with research as well as a competitive education for an industrial career.
The program is course based and offers four tracks; robotics and autonomous systems (AS), networked control systems (NC), systems and control theory (SC) and electric energy systems (ES). In addition to the technical courses, the programme also includes non-technical courses such as research methodology and project management.
Degree project
The Master's thesis project can be started upon completing 60 credits of the programme. The thesis work is typically carried out during the second half of the second year, either in industry or at a department at KTH or elsewhere. The thesis work can be combined with course work. For students who wish to pursue a career in research, the thesis project offers a great opportunity to come into close contact with a research group and for those that wish to go into industry it serves as a good chance to interact with a prospective employer.
