The school of Information and Communication Technology, ICT, conducts research and education in the areas Material Physics, Electronics, and Information Technology. We work with the scientific and mathematical foundation, with the technical infrastructure as well as with systems and services. Through our collaboration with Stockholm University we broaden the perspective to the interaction between technology and humans. We have an internationally competitive profile in research in nano electronics, photonics, electronic and computer systems, software technology and communication as well as Systems sciences and software construction technologies. The collaboration with the surrounding companies and society takes place e.g. in Kista Science City. We offer a broad spectrum of education programs, for the Swedish titles “civilingenjör” and “högskoleingenjör”, as well as candidate programs. We also offer a number of master programs entirely taught in English for advanced undergraduate studies with a separate, highly competitive recruitment from a predominantly international student base.

The Radio Communication Systems Unit at the School of ICT at KTH is conducting research and education in the areas of Wireless Communication Systems, Wireless Resource Management, and Wireless Infrastructure Economics and Deployment. Ph.D. students are expected to work in projects, often in collaboration with industry, in these areas.
