Master Thesis Program
The AI Sweden Master Thesis Program offers a unique opportunity for university students to complete their thesis while gaining professional experience. You'll become part of our national AI network, with access to our community and resources.
Master thesis program participants, 2025.
We offer two distinct tracks: the Supervised Track, where students apply to a specific project and receive hands-on support and guidance from our experts, and the Unsupervised Track, where students bring their own project, and have a designated supervisor, hence primarily leveraging our community and office space.
For students
Are you a passionate student looking for an opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects and develop your skills with leading experts?
Join our Master’s Thesis Program, where we offer two tracks to help you grow and succeed.
Please note: Applications for this year’s Master Thesis Program are now closed. Please check back for updates on the next application period.
Supervised Track: Work on our projects
This track is for students who want to complete their thesis on a specific project at AI Sweden. You will work closely with one of our expert researchers in areas like energy, AI security and more. You'll get hands-on, co-supervision from our team to guide you through the process.
Unsupervised Track: Bring Your Own Project
This track is designed for students who have already identified their own thesis topic and supervisor, either through a partner organization or independently. It’s perfect for those who want to use AI Sweden’s resources without needing a project from us. You'll gain access to our office and community, allowing you to use our space and network to support your work.
Program Benefits
Both tracks offer:
✓ Time to work at our office in Gothenburg, Lindholmspiren, providing an inside look at an organization's operations.
✓ Invitations to events, networking sessions, and community-building opportunities with peers and professionals.
✓ Access a collaborative, dynamic environment that helps you become a skilled and confident professional.
Words about the Master thesis program
Doing my master thesis at AI Sweden was a great experience. I gained valuable connections and insights that would be hard to find elsewhere. After completing my thesis on security in federated learning, I joined AI Sweden, working with partners. It was an ideal start to my career—combining hands-on industry experience with the freedom and responsibility typical of research.

The Master Thesis Program is a great example of a low-risk, low-effort initiative, where organizations can explore and develop new areas.

For partners
Is your organization interested in gaining value and new perspectives from master's students at some of the top universities in Sweden?
What can partners expect?
Student-industry collaborations are mutually beneficial. They create opportunities to share new insights and points of view while building competence and expertise on both sides.
✓ Benefit from the knowledge of master students to solve current problems or dig deeper into existing tasks.
✓ Boost attractiveness to possible future employees by joining these collaborations.
✓ Opportunity to recruit students directly before they graduate.
The thesis work begins in January 2026. We will help you connect with top students. Joining the program as a supervising partner does not come with any financial cost.
