Career paths
KTH has an international reputation in plasma physics and has been the home of Hannes Alfvén, a pioneer in the field and Nobel Prize laureate. Today, the university is active in several aspects of the development of ITER, from plasma modelling to engineering material facing the plasma. Space research at KTH is carried out in both large international projects under ESA and NASA and in smaller collaborations with leading research centres and universities around Europe, USA, South Africa and Japan.
Emphasis is placed on the field's theoretical and applied aspects with a multidisciplinary approach and proximity to real research applications – with many master's degree projects completed in international collaborations. The master's program in Electromagnetics, Fusion and Space Engineering offers you a unique breadth of experience with a multitude of career prospects following your degree.
The knowledge acquired in this master's program sets the foundation for working in the development of electromagnetic technology and hardware. For example, this technology is commonly used in communication systems and many of our students have been employed by companies, such as Ericsson or Huawei, to design antennas, microwave circuits and filters. Another common career path after their studies has been in the aerospace industry as electromagnetic engineers for companies like SAAB.
