Mark Smith: Master Degree Program

     I work within the Master's Program in Design and Implementation of IT Products and Systems offered here at the KTH.  It is an applied technical program that builds on your engineering or computer science expertise, and ties it to skills that allow you to influence and optimize how products and process are realized in the companies you will associate yourself with.  Specific questions about the program should be sent to the program director using the email address ips.masters@ict.kth.se.

     If you are doing your MS thesis work in my group, here is where you can find all the instructions and guidelines for getting your thesis work done.

     I often talk with students and others who are contemplating applying to graduate school somewhere, and are wondering why they should apply for yet more school.  I also often receive email from future students who are interested in the application process.  Here are a couple of links that might help.

  1. The first one gives my top 10 reasons for going to graduate school and getting a Master's degree.
  2. The second gives my own ideas and tips about the application process to a graduate program.
Note that the second link about ideas and tips are simply my own ideas, and do not necessarily reflect official KTH policy, or in any way establish a set of official rules.  They are only my thoughts on what I like to see in an application for any kind of graduate or professional position.
