Embedded Systems

To be considered eligible for the programme you must fulfil both the general and specific admission requirements. The general admission requirements are the same for all programmes at KTH while the programme specific requirements vary between the programmes.

Programme specific admission requirements

Bachelor\\'s degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering, or an equivalent degree, including a combination of courses equivalent to at least 60 ECTS credits in: Microelectronics, Electronics, Computer engineering, Computer science, Automation and Control or Communication engineering. In addition, courses in Mathematics, including calculus, linear algebra and mathematical statistics, corresponding to at least 30 ECTS credits, are required.

Prerequisites for all line of studies: Computer Hardware, Organization basics, Electric Circuits Theory (equivalent to EI1202 or IE1206), and a basic course in programming (preferably C/C++).

Special prerequisites for Embedded Electronics track: Digital Design basics (equivalent to IE1204 or IE1205), a basic course in Analog Electronics (equivalent to IE1202), a basic course in VHDL or Verilog (equivalent to IL1331 VHDL-design) and Signal Theory (see adaption courses below), i.e., sufficient knowledge in math including Laplace and Fourier Transforms, and Mathematical Statistics.

Special pre-requisites for Embedded Platform track: Digital Design basics. A basic course in VHDL or Verilog (equivalent to IL1331 VHDL-design). For the DSP related courses, a course in Signal Theory is required (see adaption courses below), i.e., sufficient knowledge in math including Laplace and Fourier Transforms, and Mathematical Statistics is required..

Special prerequisites for Embedded Software-track: none except good programming skills. A course in discrete mathematics is strongly recommended.

Special prerequisite for Embedded Control-track: A course in basic Mechanics (equivalent to SG1102). For the contol related courses, a course in Control Theory is highly recommended (see adaption courses below), i.e sufficient knowledge in math including Laplace and Fourier Transforms, and Mathematical Statistics is required.

Special prerequisite for International Dual Degree, Khalifa Univeristy: Test result from performed GRE.

Special prerequisite for International Dual Degree, UESTC: The same prerequisites as for the track Embedded Electronics.

Adaption courses:
Students who want to study some courses within Embedded Electronics, Embedded Platforms, Embedded Control and/or DSP area need to have a basic course on VHDL-design (Verilog is also accepted), Analog Electronic basics (Operational Amplifiers), Control Theory and/or Signal Theory in their portfolio. Students that lack at most ONE of these courses may study it upon arrival.

The specific requirements may be assessed as not fulfilled if;

1. the degree awarding institution is not considered to meet acceptable quality standards by the authorities of the country in which the institution is located
2. the degree does not qualify for admission to equivalent Master level in the country where the degree is awarded
