The degree project is the last step that the student needs to complete in order to obtain a degree from KTH. During the degree project, the student will work independently and use the knowledge and methods that the student has learned during their time at KTH. To support students in finding an interesting and challenging degree project, here are a number of ideas for degree projects gathered- many are suggestions from external actors. Each proposal has a contact person that the students are welcome to contact and discuss the ideas with. The proposals can also be seen as inspiration for your own ideas for a degree project. Previous degree projects are available here Rail Vehicles , Transport Planning and Structural Engineering and Bridges .
If you have general questions or thoughts about a degree project in the railway field, please contact: Anders Lindahl ( [email protected] ), Carlos Casanueva Perez ( [email protected] ) or Ellen Bergseth ( [email protected] )

Guidelines for MSc. Projects
Rules and guidelines for Master's Degree Projects
Goals of the course degree project work
According to KTH rules and regulations, the student should:
- be able to apply relevant knowledge and abilities, within the main field of study, to a given problem
- within given constraints, even with limited information, independently analyse and discuss complex inquiries/problems and handle larger problems on the advanced level within the main field of study
- reflect on, evaluate and critically review one’s own and others’ scientific results
- be able to document and present one’s own work with strict requirements on structure, format, and language usage
- be able to identify one’s need for further knowledge and continuously develop one’s own knowledge
These KTH-common goals should constitute the foundation for course goals for all degree project. Further or more specified course goals for degree project can be implemented by the schools, individual educational programmes or individual degree project.
Thesis content
The thesis should contain:
- Introduction - that should contain a technical and social (when possible) motivation of the thesis subject. For example – safer and more reliable reactor types would be not only technically better but also more acceptable to public, which would allow to better explore the potential of nuclear power.
- Description of the problems/topics.
- Status of the research/knowledge in the field and literature review.
- Description of the methodology/approach. (The actual structure of the chapters here depends on the topic of the thesis.)
- Results - must always contain analyses of results and associated uncertainties.
- Conclusions and proposals for the future work.
- Appendices (when needed).
- Bibliography - references and links.
Thesis style
- Volume of about 50-70 pages.
- The language style, grammar and terminology should meet the highest expectations!
- Thesis can be written in any text editor, assuming it meets KTH regulations - see below.
- KTH thesis appearance
- LaTeX introduction and KTH LaTeX classes
Oral presentation
- Your public presentation should take about 20-25 minutes. Assuming about 1.5 minute per slide gives you 16 – 17 slides maximum! Your management of time is one of the criterion in evaluation of your project. You should attend at least two other master thesis presentations to be better prepared for your own.
- Your presentation should be pedagogical and very clear. Do not include too much information on one slide!
- Identify and underline clearly your personal contribution and your own creative part.
After your presentation, the reviewer, and possibly the examiner, supervisors, and the audience will question you, in this order. Be very clear in all your answers. When you do not know the answer or when you are unsure then it is better to express that with no hesitation. The examiner (who is chairing the exam) may stop the questions after 10 minutes.
You will be evaluated according to three criteria:
- Process - your creative and timely approach in solving the technical and/or scientific problems, organisation, independence and communication with supervisors.
- Engineering-related and scientific content - the formulation of the problem and application of engineering-related and scientific skills in the methodology, solution and conclusions.
- Presentation of the thesis .
Practical information
- Registration of the master project is done by filling the "application for Master of Science thesis project" that must be approved by the examiner. Your supervisor will hand the form over to the student office that will register it.
- A reviewer must be appointed by the supervisor or examiner. The reviewer must have at least a week for reviewing the thesis. Hence, the thesis should be available to the reviewer at least a week before the defence.
- The date and time of the oral presentation (defence) must be agreed on by the student, the supervisor, the reviewer and the examiner. The selection of the reviewer and the date and time for the defence may take a few days; combined with the one week needed for the reviewing process, the student should assume at least two weeks needed for this.
- The outcome of a successful defence is usually registered at KTH within few days. After that you are obliged to provide an electronic version of your thesis to the DiVA publication database. You can do this via the student office. You are not required nor expected to print your thesis.
- Your thesis must include the TRITA number. You can request them at the student office (you can do so by sending an email to kursexp(at)physics.kth.se).
- To receive your diploma you have to request it yourself from your KTH account.

Degree projects at KTH
A degree project is a course consisting of a written thesis/report that the student writes, presents and receives higher education credits for. The work for the degree project takes place over a period of either ten or twenty weeks (15 academic credits or 30 academic credits) and is supervised by KTH in joint collaboration with the company. It can begin both spring and autumn term. The final approval rests with an examiner at KTH.
Please contact the Student Union at KTH for more information on how to post regular long-term positions.

Photovoltaic system design, installation and performance evaluation: PV Lab test rig
The aim of the thesis is to design, install and evaluate photovoltaic system performance at various operational conditions.
The utilization of photovoltaic (PV) solar energy systems gains importance day by day in many countries. Companies and universities offer various training sessions, short courses, and certificate programs in order to close the gap of the experienced professionals in designing and utilizing the PV systems. Modeling, analyzing, and designing of PV solar energy systems are taught in various courses delivered to MS and BS students also here at KTH. Hands-on experience plays a crucial part in understanding the underlying physical phenomena of PV and also obtaining practical experience in system operations, to complement the theoretical knowledge delivered through the courses. Such hand-on experience could be obtained from hardware and remotely accessible PV system simulator that allows to study photovoltaic phenomena by utilizing advance solar simulator, industrial sized PV panels, real DC and AC loads with invertor and battery storage capabilities, relevant measuring instruments and equipment for identifying PV panels characteristic, comparing characteristics of different PV panel designs, studying environmental effect on PV panels performance and PV system design and implementations.
Thesis objectives
Methods/material.
In this work, the student is supposed to get practical exposure to design system configuration, identify and purchase required components and to realize the commissioning and system performance under various operational conditions.
Expected Results
Design and installation of a lab scale photovoltaic system with remote access for monitoring and data collection. Identify and describe the variances of operational performances due to the variations in main environmental parameters.
