Description:

The master's programme in Environmental Engineering and Sustainable Infrastructure equips students with interdisciplinary tools to solve future environmental problems and prepares for careers as environmental engineers.

You will gain knowledge of the properties and functions of water and ecosystems, learn how to assess the local and global environmental impact of human activities and apply advanced methods and modelling tools to define and solve environmental problems.

Environmental Engineering and Sustainable Infrastructure at KTH:

The programme has no tracks and there is a significant degree of freedom for you to select courses within the programme, given that the specific course prerequisites are fulfilled. The courses offered within the programme are based on a combination of theoretical and practical approaches, both in the field and laboratory, using tools such as GIS, different computer models and tools for decision support.

Our seven competence profiles suggest what courses you can choose and which sequences to take the courses for a competitive specialisation. In each competence profile, there is an inherent progression.

The different competence profiles are:

  • Water Technology; water systems, hydropower, effects of climate change.
  • Environmental Geology and Hydrogeology; contaminated areas, environmental geology, geotechnical aspects.
  • Water and Wastewater Technology; managing our water resources (drinking water and wastewater).
  • Environmental Information Analysis and Management; environmental monitoring, measurement techniques.
  • Sustainable Infrastructure; managing infrastructure and natural resources in a sustainable way.
  • Environmental Systems Analysis; environmental assessment, life cycle assessment.
  • Sustainable Societies; social and economic mechanisms that affect sustainable development.

The programme ends with a degree project that allows you to investigate a problem in-depth under the supervision of experienced practitioners and researchers. The topic for the degree project should be within the programme's scope and relate to knowledge acquired through the courses. The degree project is carried out in Sweden or abroad and can be oriented towards research, technological development at a company or organisation, or a combination of both.

This is a two-year programme (120 ECTS credits) given in English. Graduates are awarded the degree of Master of Science. The programme is given mainly at KTH Campus in Stockholm by the School of Architecture and Built Environment (at KTH).

Career:

Our society has significant challenges in managing a changing climate, developing and securing good water quality, developing systems for recycling materials and nutrients, and developing renewable and environmentally smart energy solutions. Therefore, the need for environmental engineering expertise is almost endless, and the labour market is diverse.

Graduates will be able to work privately and publicly in environmental consultancies, with contractors, water- and wastewater companies or government agencies, both in Sweden and abroad. Examples of programme graduates' employers are SWECO, Stockholm Vatten, WSP, Swedish EPA, Tyréns, Geosigma, COWI, Vattenfall, SIDA, and several international agencies. There are also graduates from the programme who go on doctoral studies at KTH or other universities worldwide.
