Mobility engineering master's programme​ at Chalmers Freight trains, trucks, cargo aircrafts and ships transport large quantities of raw material and manufactured goods around the world. Every day, billions of people commute by using trains, cars, aeroplanes and boats. This master's programme will prepare you to meet the ever-changing demands in the industry of aerospace engineering, automotive engineering, marine technology, and railway technology. Goods and personal mobility play a significant role in the global economy as well as in our everyday life. Therefore, modern transportation needs to be safer, more efficient, and sustainable to ensure seamless mobility with minimal impact on the surrounding environment. This Mobility engineering master's programme will prepare you to develop sustainable, high-performance mobility solutions. You will be trained to understand features, design requirements and challenges of the present and future mobility solutions. You will also gain a holistic knowledge of mobility solutions and the ability to apply them for different transportation needs and environments. Sustainable development is considered throughout the programme in all focus areas. In addition to the holistic knowledge, you will acquire depth knowledge in one of the profile areas: aerospace engineering, automotive engineering, marine technology, and railway technology. This depth knowledge will prepare you for working as a specialist within that field. Beyond the compulsory courses, which are common for all profiles there will be a project course for each profile. Different subjects are discussed from a technical, societal, economical, human, and ethical perspective. The programme is based on lectures, assignments, simulations, experiments, study visits, and projects carried out as real case studies. The interconnection and collaboration with the transportation industry and transport administrations in the programme are significant and include guest lectures, study visits, laboratory exercises as well as tasks to our project courses. In the project courses, you will gain skills in project work, including communication, teamwork, and project management. The master thesis projects are often carried out in collaboration with the industry. Show less

The master's programme runs for a duration of two years, leading to a Master of Science (MSc) degree. During each year, students can earn 60 credits and complete the programme by accumulating a total of 120 credits. Credits are earned by completing courses where each course is usually 7.5 credits. The programme consists of compulsory courses, compulsory-elective courses and elective courses.

The Mobility engineering master's programme at Chalmers includes three fundamental courses which are compulsory. The purpose of these courses is to provide the essential knowledge in mobility engineering from which you can broaden your competence within the different profile areas. Apart from the three compulsory courses, students are required to complete 37.5 credits in compulsory elective courses, to be selected among more than 35 courses.

Finally, the programme also offers the possibility to choose 30 credits in elective courses, to be selected among more than 30 courses. The master thesis is usually carried out at a company within the area that you have specialized in during your master’s programme. Please note that it’s up to you to find a suitable project and a company to collaborate with.

Compulsory courses year 1
