KTH / KCSE / Graduate School / Courses
Courses
The main part of the courses a PhD student is supposed to take are provided by their home department according to the rules of this department. The courses provided by the KCSE graduate school are additional to those basic requirements. However, the courses can be counted both towards the deparment requirements and the KCSE requirements.
KCSE also provides travel grants for participating in schools and courses within or outside of Sweden.
KCSE students have to complete a total of courses worth 30 ECTS points. There should be at least one course from each category (numerics, applications, computer) within these courses, and the application course should concern an application different from the student's own subject. In addition, the KCSE students should
actively participate in the KCSE seminar series (attend 20 seminars and give at least one, see course MH3701).
The KCSE graduate school provides a number of courses. The course are
meant to complement the basic curriculum of the student in the
direction of numerical calculations. The offered courses are divided in three classes:
- Core courses:
- Numerics
- Parallel Computations for Large-Scale Problems I
- Fast Numerical Algorithms for Large-Scale Problems
- Applied Numerical Methods I/II
- Numerical Solutions of Differential Equations I/II
- The Finite Element Method
- Applications
- Computational Physics
- Computational Chemistry
- Computational Fluid Dynamics
- Computational Techniques in Materials Science
- Simulations and Modelling on the Atomic Scale
- Computational Aerodynamics
- Numerical Methods in Nuclear Engineering
- Advanced Simulation Methods in Statistical Physics
- Computational Methods from Micro to Macro Scales
- Computational Electromagnetics and Photonics
- Computational Nanophotonics
- Computer
- Introduction to High Performance Computing
- Introduction to Visualization
- Parallel Computing: Theory - Hardware - Software with Special Focus on Multi-Core Programming
- Introduction to Programming with GPGPU and Applications in Scientific
- Software Development Tools for Scientific Computing
- Special format:
- Summer school
- Project courses
- Special topics
- Complementary courses (communication, leadership, innovation,
etc.)
Compensation for KCSE Courses
The board and executive group of KCSE has decided to give out a compensation for each KCSE student completing a KCSE course. The new policy, effective immediately, is as follows:
-
The compensation is 1000 SEK/ECTS for each KCSE student completing the course,
-
The course must be a KCSE core course listed on the homepage,
-
The student shall be a registered KCSE student at the time the course is given,
-
Payment is done to the responsible department upon request, when the results are reported in LADOK.
Compensations may be limited by available funds.
Funding for Course Development
The KCSE graduate school supports the development/adaptation of new/existing core courses, summer schools and project courses. The priorities and requirements are:
- The course has a focus on computational aspects
- Interdisciplinary: PhD students from more than one department can take the course (for
more advanced courses a core course in the subject may be a
prerequisite)
- Preferable if teachers from more than one department are involved
- Preferably no one-time courses
The KCSE graduate school may support in particular:
- Course development
- External lecturers
- Teaching costs the first time a new course is given
- In special circumstances teaching costs could be covered also in
other cases.
- Computational resources via PDC during the course
If you are interested in suggesting a course, please use the following template (pdf or word) and send it to the director of studies. The funding for new courses will be decided upon continuously.
Each course supported by the KCSE Graduate School should be evaluated at the end. As responsible course leader, please fill in the following form (pdf, word) and send it together with possible attachments (summary of course evaluation, lecture notes etc.) to the director of studies.
