The master's programme in Engineering Physics bridges the gap between theoretical physics and practical engineering, seeking to develop future technology.

Solving complex problems is an integral part of the education, demanding in-depth knowledge of physics, as well as analytical and computational tools. Through specialisations, students become domain experts in one field of physics and go on to advanced industrial R&D positions or PhD studies.

Engineering Physics at KTH:

The master's programme in Engineering Physics educates students aiming to work at the forefront of the development of future technology. You will learn about state-of-the-art experimental and computational methods and gain the requisite skills to create new innovations.

Graduates from the programme usually find their first jobs as development engineers in innovation- and development-oriented companies or as PhD students in academia.

The programme offers five tracks. Each track contains a few mandatory courses and several conditionally elective courses. You must choose at least 40 ECTS credits of courses within your track to obtain deep knowledge and adequate skills within one subfield of physics. Elective courses are an essential part of the programme and give you a great deal of freedom to tailor your own competence profile related to physics.

• Biomedical Physics: The Biomedical Physics track focuses on using physics for applications and research in the life sciences, including biology, chemistry and medicine.
• Optics and Photonics: The Optics and Photonics track focuses on applications where light and other types of electromagnetic radiation interact with matter.
• Quantum Technology: The Quantum Technology track focuses on engineering systems to manipulate and measure quantum states with applications in information processing, secure communication and sensing.
• Subatomic and Astrophysics: The Subatomic and Astrophysics track covers numerous fundamental science topics at the forefront of contemporary physics.
• Theoretical Physics: The Theoretical Physics track provides a broad education in fundamental theoretical physics and computational physics.

Career:

Graduates of this programme can look forward to ample job opportunities, both in industry and academic research. Please see the track information for details about opportunities for graduates from the different tracks.
