Firm links with industry are still maintained, and industrial representatives play an active role in deciding the future development of the programme. During the third year, students choose a technical specialization. The engineering courses of the third year are mandatory core courses for the specialization. Further specialization takes place during the fourth year. As is the case for all LiTH master's programmes, students can take optional language courses on the side of their engineering studies.
Accredited languages offered in the programme are English, German, French or Russian.
To the top Economics Courses From the very beginning, students receive training in economic problem-solving and analysis. Among the societal and business issues dealt with during the first two years are political economy and external and internal auditing. Several management courses are taken during the last years, including industrial organization, market systems, production management, logistics and transportation and strategic planning. Mathematics courses provide students with a solid foundation for several of the economics courses. This includes, for example, training in optimizing the planning of materials within a company and learning to select an investment alternative using quantitative methods.
