Information and Network Engineering

Overview

We live in an increasingly connected world where not only people but also a rapidly growing number of sensors and devices are going on-line. To maintain and develop the high-tech industry around the world, engineers are needed who cannot only use but also understand and develop new solutions for advanced communication systems and for methods used to analyse and process the huge 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 as well as the more conventional manufacturing industry and the motor vehicle industry, to mention just a few.

This Information and Network Engineering programme at KTH Royal Institute of Technology  will prepare you for a future professional role by providing a broad basis in communications and data analysis. You will choose one of four tracks that will provide you with in-depth knowledge in the area.
