Mechatronics KTH Royal Institute of Technology

Overview

The use of electronics and software to enhance mechanical products is increasingly complex yet critical to meet future needs of functionality and performance. Students in the Mechatronics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology explore the synergistic integration of mechanical, electrical, control and software engineering. As a graduate you will have the skills to thrive in this multidisciplinary environment.

Growing demands on functionality, sustainability and innovation continuously increase the complexity of product development. Another challenge facing many engineers today is the sheer scale of information exchange and communication required in product development. These challenges significantly affect mechatronics engineers since their work relies on their multidisciplinary knowledge and skills and an increasingly broad awareness when interacting with design teams across other disciplines. In response to these challenges, our programme focuses heavily on problem-based learning, hands-on lab experience, teamwork, project organisation, communication and management. You will gain a cross-disciplinary holistic understanding of design and development, preparing you for large complex projects in industry or academia.

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.
