介绍
The master's programme in Railway Engineering covers all aspects of railways from a systems perspective, integrating elements from both mechanical, civil and electrical engineering. It is given together with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Students learn how to design vehicles, infrastructure and control systems that perform optimally together. The importance of the railway in the transition to sustainable transport drives the demand for skilled railway engineers.
Railway Engineering at KTH
Railway transport is experiencing a worldwide renaissance. It offers substantial economic benefits, energy efficiency, and environmental and safety benefits compared to road transport. Railway transport can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation, one of the primary sources of global warming. As a result, passenger railways such as trains, trams and subways are being built in many regions of the world to meet the growing demand for mobility, sustainability and increasing urbanisation. At the same time, the European Commission has set targets to shift more road freight to rail transport to reduce emissions and congestion. This move towards railways has created a substantial demand for engineers with an integrated knowledge of railway subsystems (infrastructure, vehicles and traffic control) who understand how to maximise the performance of the whole system.
The master's programme in Railway Engineering is among the very few programmes in the world that cover all aspects of rail engineering, and none offers the international perspective afforded by this one. KTH offset the programme in collaboration with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), where all students in the programme spend one semester.
The programme focuses on the system aspect, which is extremely important in railway systems. Vehicle, infrastructure and control systems have to be designed to work optimally together. Therefore, the programme contains courses in mechanical, civil and electrical engineering. The programme starts with mandatory courses during the autumn semester. You will meet different active researchers in the field in the seminar-based course on research methodology with a connection to sustainable development for a climate-neutral society. You will also gain a solid understanding of the system as a whole, mixing online courses from UIUC and onsite courses at KTH, combining the best aspects of these universities. For example, you will learn the fundamental economics of rail transportation, decision-making and optimisation, consideration of railroad rolling stock design, running gear and other mechanical components, such as the train braking system, and design a commuter-type train in project task. During the first spring semester, there is a mix of mandatory and conditionally elective courses in which you can start to tailor your path. During the third semester, particular emphasis is placed on the unique engineering elements of high-speed railway engineering technology. At UIUC, you are allowed to continue forming and strengthening your path, selecting conditionally elective courses that will eventually end up in the last semester's thesis work. As field trips and design and analysis tools for rail systems are a natural part of the programme, you will have a solid base when starting your master's’s degree project in the last semester.
The programme is mainly based on classes, with lectures, assignments and exams, but also includes projects and individual studies. All teachers are active researchers and will include new research trends in their course content. During the final semester, you will carry out a master's’s degree project. Many students carry out their degree projects in industry with a railway operator or a consultancy company.
This is a two-year programme (120 ECTS credits) given in English. Graduates are awarded the degree of Master of Science. The programme is given mainly at KTH Campus in Stockholm by the School of Engineering Sciences (at KTH).
Collaboration with the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (UIUC)
About half of the courses are given by the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (UIUC) and KTH, respectively, and the programme includes international mobility. At least 15 ECTS credits must be taken on-site at the partner university. Many courses for this programme are taught online by KTH and UIUC exclusively. Please note; due to US visa regulations, there is no guarantee that fee-paying students can study in the US. If the visa is denied, these students will be offered an alternative study plan.

计划成果
可持续发展
KTH的毕业生拥有推动社会朝着更可持续的方向发展的知识和工具,因为可持续发展是所有计划的组成部分。铁路工程硕士课程的国际环境提供了不同的社会视角,这将非常有助于理解全球可持续发展的挑战。该计划解决的三个关键可持续发展目标是:
- 9 工业、创新和基础设施
- 11 可持续城市和社区
- 13 气候行动
由于铁路系统固有的气候积极品质,所有课程都包含与可持续性相关的知识。您将获得系统视角,该视角构成重新思考交通的基础,同时允许您为未来出现的问题设计和创建创新解决方案。凭借您将获得的专业知识、技术广度和国际经验,您将学习如何为全球可持续发展做出贡献。

美国学生贷款的延期
KTH是美国教育部认可的机构,拥有 Title IV“仅限延期”状态(OPE ID 03274300)。美国学生在就读KTH硕士课程期间可以推迟现有联邦学生贷款账户的付款。 “仅延期”状态不允许学生申请联邦学生贷款在KTH就读。然而,该认证为美国学生提供了助学金和贷款机会,因为美国许多私人学生贷款机构都将此指定作为发放新贷款的要求。希望推迟付款的学生必须联系他们在美国的贷款机构。

工作机会
以高效和可持续的方式满足日益增长的铁路运输需求所带来的技术挑战需要大量在全球范围内接受过铁路领域教育的工程师。很大比例的铁路行业工程人员即将退休;因此,对受过铁路工程教育的毕业生的需求强劲且不断增长。该计划的重点之一是系统方面,预计许多毕业生将在他们工作的组织中担任管理职位。
该计划为在全球汽车行业、咨询公司、研究机构和大学谋求职业生涯奠定了良好的基础。瑞典工业界与工程力学系的合作非常密切。KTH 、主要制造商和运输管理部门都参与了几个正在进行的主要研究项目。两所大学还提供继续攻读博士学位的可能性。铁路工程硕士课程的毕业生是数量有限的职位的有力候选人。
