The use of electronics and software to enhance mechanical products is becoming increasingly complex yet critical to meet future functionality and performance needs.

Students in the master's programme in Mechatronics explore the synergistic integration of mechanical, electrical, control and software engineering. Graduates work at the forefront of technical and societal paradigm shifts, including the Internet of Things, Circular Economy and Autonomous Systems.

Mechatronics at KTH:

Mechatronics combines mechanical, electrical and computer systems to create intelligent, user-friendly products and services. KTH's research and education activities within Mechatronics are conducted closely with a wide range of industries, offering excellent opportunities to complete smaller projects during your studies and your final degree project at a company. In the longer term, this close collaboration also enables us to identify future industry needs and evolve our curriculum and teaching accordingly.

During your studies, you will develop key competencies in motion control, robotics, embedded systems, real-time programming and distributed systems. As well as these core courses, you can specialise in areas such as control engineering, AI/ML, robotics and medical technology.

As a student in the master's programme in Mechatronics, you will develop the skills necessary to conduct professional development work in almost any engineering field. In summary, upon completion of the programme, you will be able to:

• Professionally apply systematic engineering methods to address complex, multidisciplinary real-world engineering problems related to robotics and mechatronics systems.
• Proficiently apply advanced, integrated technical knowledge in mechatronics and the underpinning sciences and scientific methods.
• Identify and critically evaluate current developments and emerging trends within the robotics, intelligent systems, and industrial automation sectors.
• Understand the contextual factors that influence professional engineering practice, and identify the potential societal, ethical, and environmental impact of engineering activities.
• Communicate effectively with colleagues, other engineering professionals, and the broader community using various communication tools.
• Engage in independent investigation, critical reflection, and lifelong learning to continue practising at the discipline's forefront.
• Work effectively and proactively within cross-cultural, multidisciplinary teams, demonstrating autonomy, ethical conduct, expert judgement, adaptability, and responsibility to achieve engineering outcomes at a high standard.

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 Industrial Engineering and Management (at KTH).

Career:

The demand for Mechatronics is rapidly growing worldwide in many fields, and our graduates can expect to find job opportunities in a wide range of industries and sectors, such as automotive, aerospace, robotics, medical engineering, industrial manufacturing and automation, and autonomous driving. The programme also opens the way for a career in academic research.

Many of our students start their careers with companies here in Sweden, such as AFRY, Atlas Copco, DeLaval, Electrolux, Ericsson, Mycronic, Prevas, Saab, Scania, Skogforsk, Volvo Cars, Volvo Construction Equipment and WesDyne. Some graduates also go on to start up their own companies, such as Fengco, Quandify and Relox Robotics or to work with other smaller companies that require the unique blend of expertise that is Mechatronics.
