Master's thesis

In the second year the student produces a Masters thesis work. This is a 20 week individual project carried out at a company or in academia. This gives the student a possibility of aquiring contacts within companies/scientists for future use when searching for a job, as well as in depth hands on experience on working on a project. The project should be within the specialization (stream) selected by the student during the second year. A supervisor is choosen from KTH School of Computer Science and Communication, School of Biotechnology, the Stockholm School of Entrepreneurship or the KTH School of Industrial Engineering and Management. Project work includes independent planning, litterature study and writing a thesis report.
