This unique Master of Science programme in
Infrastructure Engineering is offered by the Department of Civil and
Architectural Engineering, since August 2007.
There
is a great need for well educated specialists within the area of
Infrastructure Engineering. This programme will provide students with
the necessary competence to analyse and solve complex problems within
infrastructure technology. Students will develop a certain capability
of integrating technology with other aspects such as environment,
sustainable development, aesthetics, and social and economic
responsibility.
Programme outline
The
programme will focus on techniques for designing, building and
maintaining roads, railway tracks, bridges and tunnels. Special
attention will be paid to social, environmental and sustainable aspects.
All
the courses are, in principle, compulsory. However, students are able
to replace compulsory courses by other KTH courses within the field of
Infrastructure Engineering which correspond to a maximum of 15 ECTS.
Such courses must be approved by programme management.
