Future Education at KTH is a change programme with a framework that will help us to be proactive and structure our development work of KTH's education based on a long-term holistic perspective.
The framework consists of 13 principles clustered in 5 areas.

Fika chat from the fair in electro project 1 with students and teachers
What kind of robots that solve everyday problems can be produced by first-year students at the Master Programme in Electrical Engineering (CELTE)? We'll find out in a slightly different Fika Chat podcast when podcast host Marcus Lithander and deputy programme manager of Future Education at KTH, Gunnar Tibert, visit the teaching building (U-house) on the KTH Campus at the fair for the electrical project 1 course (EH1010, Swedish) .

Fika chat on learning environments – a wicked problem (?)
Are KTH's learning environments a so-called "wicked problem"? Or how can you define and translate the concept? Regardless, KTH's learning environments are a challenge that we at KTH need to address together: how can we make the most of what we have to support pedagogy and learning? Marcus Lithander and Anna Jerbrant meet Daniel Koch , Deputy GA at the School of ABE. Daniel has been appointed Assistant Programme Manager in the Future Education programme management as of 2025.
What is the pedagogical value of open learning environments like Spaces, and why is it essential that they are open and accessible to KTH students? Watch a slightly different Fika Chat where Anders Ca...

The competence needs of the industry are evolving in response to societal changes and technological shifts such as digitalization and electrification. The demand for skilled professionals is significa...
The figure shows how the 2024 active projects (one "post-it" per project) are distributed across the Future Education framework based on the projects' primary mapped principle. However, most projects - and their outcomes - span multiple principles and cut across the areas and principles of the framework. The principles are now framed by the vision "We take the lead for a sustainable society" and the goal that "KTH's education shall be of the highest quality and internationally competitive".
These were the 2024 development projects of the Future Education at KTH
A total of 30 development projects were active in 2024, of which 9 were KTH-wide projects (new this year) and 21 were school projects. Of the school projects, 13 were entirely new, and eight school pr...
