The management side includes operations strategy, planning and management of resources for a sustainable production environment. Graduates work in various production fields worldwide.
The master's programme in Production Engineering and Management provides a solid foundation to become a professional with knowledge in both engineering and management aspects of production and their interaction. The engineering side includes operation and integration of manufacturing technology, automation, maintenance and quality aspects, production development tools and methods, and software.
This is a two-year programme (120 ECTS credits) given in English. The management side covers systematic decision-making, operations strategy, planning, control and management of resources essential for achieving a sustainable production environment.
To create a strong foundation in production engineering and management, all students follow a certain number of mandatory courses. In addition, you can deepen your knowledge in production engineering, development and management, as well as information management in the industry.
The programme emphasises both theoretical knowledge and applied skills covered through project courses, individual and group assignments, individual and group laboratory works, and industrial visits. Furthermore, to maintain relevance to the state-of-the-art industrial developments and research, leading researchers and industrial professionals are invited to share their knowledge with our students. The educational activities and structures promote self-learning, teaching you how to communicate effectively with different stakeholders, and generating a study environment that provides equal learning opportunities.
After graduating from the programme, you will have:
As production is global, graduates from our programme are able to find positions as technical specialists, production developers, production engineers, production managers or consultants in various production fields worldwide. Some companies that employ graduates are Scania, Sandvik, AtlasCopco and Volvo.
During the studies, there may be opportunities to engage in research and other types of work at KTH as a research and teacher assistant as well as a student representative. Some graduates also continue their studies for a doctoral degree at KTH or other technical universities.
