111 Masters Degree Programs in Stockholm Sweden

The Master's program in Mathematics is a joint initiative by the Departments of Mathematics at Stockholm University and the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH). It is a two-year program at the advanced level and leads to a joint master's degree in mathematics from Stockholm University and KTH.

The joint master's programme in Molecular Techniques in Life Science fosters graduates for a professional research career in life science. It has a strong focus on molecular techniques for disease therapies and diagnostic tools, coupled with substantial training in data analysis (bioinformatics and programming). The programme is a collaboration between Karolinska Institutet, KTH and Stockholm University at the Science for Life Laboratory in Stockholm, offering students the unique opportunity to study at all three institutions.

The joint master’s programme in Mathematics is hosted by world-leading experts and research groups at KTH and Stockholm University. Students specialise in their desired areas of mathematics while acquiring essential skills in problem-solving and logical reasoning. Graduates become industrial mathematicians, often data analysts, financial analysts or within software engineering, or go on to PhD studies at prominent institutions.

Developing solutions to our environmental challenges such as climate change, pollution, air, and water quality, requires people who both understand problems holistically and can tackle them at the microscopic level. A Master of Environmental Science degree from Stockholm University will give you those tools, through education in either Atmospheric Science, Biogeochemistry or Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry. The courses in Atmospheric Science and Biogeochemistry will provide the fundamental knowledge of the composition and functioning of the environmental compartments: the atmosphere – the freshwater and ocean – and the land systems.

This programme is unique in Europe. It was developed as a response to a demand for a partially new profession that supports communication between developers and users of systems in the defence and security industry. The programme focuses on analysing complex problems and possibilities from a systems perspective.

Are you interested in how the nervous system works at its most fundamental level? Do you want to study at the frontier where chemistry and biology meet? Then this highly selective master’s program, the only one in Europe dedicated to neurochemistry with molecular neurobiology, could be for you.

The master's programme in Interactive Media Technology provides skills and knowledge in designing, developing and evaluating interactive products and media. Students can explore topics related to human-computer interaction, user experience, and sonic and visual media. We encourage students to work on projects that matter to them and respond to societal challenges. Graduates are experts in industry and academia, and some start their own companies.

Are you interested in the physics of black holes, cosmology, exoplanets, or supernovae? In this program, you will cover theoretical and observational approaches to modern astrophysics, and acquire skills and proficiency to analyze, evaluate and present complex data. This prepares you for a career in research or for qualified jobs in the industry.

In many places of the world, we experience rapid environmental change. In the Master's Program, you get the knowledge and skills necessary for the understanding and analysis of polar and alpine landscapes.

Landscape patterns and land use change are important components for understanding ecological processes affecting biodiversity and ecosystem functions and services. As most political and economic drivers are expressed through human activities, having a landscape focus has recently been recognized as important to address many of our current environmental goals. Our education program builds on our research strengths in applied historical ecology, landscape analysis, and resource management, linking community ecology with restoration and management of both terrestrial and marine environments.

Environmental issues are complex. A systems perspective is required in order to understand today’s multidisciplinary environmental problems and to identify both long-term solutions and alternatives. The program focuses on environmental science and physical planning. It provides students with a systems perspective on environmental issues, focusing on planning processes, international and transboundary issues, and practical training in tools such as systems analysis.

Politics, Security and Crisis is a master’s programme in Political Science that will give you a deeper understanding of matters relating to security policy, crises and crisis management and enhance your skills in these fields. The programme will provide both extensive theoretical knowledge and tools to help you understand how the world functions with regard to security policy and crises.

The master's programme in Molecular Biotechnology and Bioinformatics trains students to analyse complex biological data from genomics, proteomics, and imaging, tackling global challenges in medicine, food production, and sustainability. Combining biotechnology and bioinformatics, graduates are equipped to lead the fast-evolving data-driven life science sector.

The master’s programme in Civil and Architectural Engineering fosters graduates that will design and build our future homes and infrastructure, with a deep understanding of human conditions and needs and urgent demands for sustainability. In one of two specialisations, students explore either techniques for design, construction and maintenance of infrastructure or engineering design of buildings with a focus on performance and lifecycle perspective.

The master's programme in Communication Systems focuses on wired and wireless network infrastructure, services and applications, and explores how the growth of the internet creates new business ideas and ventures. Students learn the fundamental design principles of different networks and novel innovations such as cloud computing, internet-of-things, tactile internet, and 5G. Graduates develop secure and sustainable systems and services for the next generation.
