“Innovation and Sustainability”

Marko M

Sweden, Graduate
Engineering, Mechanical, 2020

Overall

I have received my Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Oklahoma, USA. As a student from the States I am lucky to be able to receive such an experience here at KTH.
KTH is one of the top Europe's schools especially in AI, Robotics, Innovation, and Sustainability. Currently, I am doing masters in Innovation Management and Product Development. KTH gives me the opportunity to get hands on experience working on real life problems withing Swedish companies such as Ericsson, SSAB, Vattenfall, Volvo, Scania, etc. KTH gives the opportunity to expand your connections, get experience in the industry and prepares you to hit the road running as junior engineer.

Pros

Hands on experience, innovation, sustainability

Cons

Employees availability. Not as available as faculty in the US.
