Educational programmes
Materials Science and Engineering programmes:
Materials Design
KTH in Stockholm or in Borlänge, 300 credits
Materials Design is a Master of Science in Engineering programme offered on the basis of collaboration between the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm and Dalarna University (HDa) in Borlänge. It is, however, KTH that issues the degree certificate in Borlänge also on completion of the programme.
From the very first day you will develop the skills you require in your work as a Master of Science in Engineering, e.g. project management, communication and languages. The programme has also been structured to facilitate an international examination.
Close co-operation with the steel industry
The teaching at the beginning of the programme takes place mainly in the form of lectures, exercises and laboratory work, becoming more project-oriented towards the end of the programme. Parts of the education take place in close collaboration with industry and commerce. You have access to a mentor who functions both as supervisor for different project assignments and for individual support.
Subjects that play a prominent role in this programme are chemistry, physics, materials science, strength of materials/solid mechanics and production engineering. During the first year you study a basic block of science including chemistry, mechanics and mathematics. During the second year you mainly study materials science, strength of materials/solid mechanics and thermodynamics.
Specialisation
During the third and fourth years you can choose to specialise either in Metals and Ceramics or Polymers and cellulose-based materials. The studies within the chosen specialisation area take place at HDa or KTH. The focus at HDa is on metallic materials for construction with specialisation in process technology. KTH offers additional areas of specialisation in metals and ceramics as well as polymers and cellulose-based materials.

Royal Institute of Technology and Dalarna University
Sustainable Process Enginering
at Luleå University of Technology, 300 credits
A Master of Science in Engineering education given in collaboration with the Swedish process industry. The focus of the education is on the utilisation and development of processes required for sustainable raw material provision and resource exploitation. A six-month industrial internship under supervision is included.
Specialisation
After three years of study, you can choose between Renewable products and fuels or Sustainable mineral and metal extraction.
