The master's programme in Information and Network Engineering addresses the digitalisation of modern society and the rapid evolution of advanced communication systems.

It covers the enabling technologies behind smart homes, smart grids, big data and autonomous vehicles. Students gain a solid foundation in data analysis, wireless communications and networking, and expertise through specialisation. Graduates lead research and development within the field.

Information and Network Engineering at KTH:

We live in an increasingly connected world where not only people but also a rapidly growing number of sensors and devices are going online. To maintain and develop the high-tech industry around the world, we need engineers who cannot only use but also understand and develop new solutions for advanced communication systems and for methods used to analyse and process the vast amounts of information that flow in different networks.

To an increasing degree, this need is also seen outside the traditional information and communications technology sector. Examples include the new sector of companies based on cloud services, the more conventional manufacturing industry and the motor vehicle industry.

This programme prepares you for a future professional role by providing a broad basis in communications and data analysis. You choose one of four tracks to acquire in-depth knowledge of the area.

Tracks:

• Information engineering focuses on machine learning, pattern recognition, information theory and signal processing.
• Multimedia processing and analysis focuses on problem-oriented solutions for multimedia signals such as video, images, and audio using principles of data analysis and coding.
• Communications engineering focuses on wireless communications with the possibility of specialising in communication theory, coding, machine-type communications or antenna design.
• Networked systems focuses on the design, performance analysis, management and, not least, security of wired and wireless networks and networked systems.

In addition to the technical aspects of the coursework, many non-technical elective classes are on offer to prepare you for your future career in industry or academia. These courses will improve your project management, leadership or technical English capabilities.

KTH's close collaboration with leaders of research and industry ensures that the programme meets the needs and expectations of the industry and connects you with your future employers during your studies.

Career:

The master's programme in Information and Network Engineering provides a solid foundation in the strongly connected fields of networking, communications, multimedia processing and data analysis, with the opportunity of gaining expertise in one of these areas.

The programme prepares you for a future professional role in research and development. Many companies in the Stockholm area are working with telecommunication technologies and in emerging areas such as the Internet of things, cloud computing or industry digitalisation. Graduates of the programme work at companies like Google, Skype, Ericsson, Huawei Technologies, Telia company, Nokia, AFRY, Cisco, ABB, Avida finans and Scania.

A majority of graduates find work in research and development at companies in the field of communications and digitalisation. Elective courses with strong theoretical content in networking and information engineering benefit those interested in a research career and provide a solid basis for doctoral studies in Sweden or anywhere in the world.

Information and Network Engineering will continue to be pivotal in how our societies operate, and KTH will play an essential role by providing talent and creativity for the future.
