The Master’s Programme in Civil and Architectural Engineering at KTH Royal Institute of Technology is an advanced postgraduate degree designed to prepare engineers to design, build, and maintain climate-resilient buildings and sustainable infrastructure. Taught entirely in English on KTH Campus in Stockholm, this programme awards a Master of Science (120 ECTS) with a major in Civil Engineering.
The curriculum offers two specialized tracks: Civil Engineering (focusing on roads, railways, bridges, tunnels, and geotechnical structures) and Architectural Engineering (focusing on performance-oriented building systems, building physics, and lifecycle design). Coursework integrates finite element methods (FEM), structural dynamics, building materials, and sustainable construction practices. The degree culminates in the fourth semester with an independent Master’s Thesis (30 ECTS), conducted within KTH’s research environments or directly alongside industrial construction and engineering partners.
