Master Thesis Program - Spring 2027
- Application Deadline: Oct. 11, 2026
- Linköping
At Sectra, we use technology to contribute to a safer and healthier society. Across our different business areas, we develop solutions that address some of society’s most important challenges — from improving healthcare to protecting sensitive information and critical communications.
For the spring of 2027, we welcome driven and talented soon-to-be graduates to our Master Thesis Program in Linköping. This is an opportunity to use your ideas, energy, curiosity, and determination to work on real challenges together with experienced colleagues at Sectra.
Two business areas - one thesis program
As a master thesis student at Sectra, you can explore opportunities within two different areas: Sectra Medical and Sectra Communications. While our missions are different, both areas share a strong focus on technology, innovation, problem-solving, and creating real value for society.
Sectra Medical – technology for the future of healthcare
At Sectra Medical, we develop medical imaging IT solutions that increase the efficiency of hospitals and clinics worldwide. With decades of experience in the field, our knowledge and passion for technology and healthcare drive us to create solutions that contribute to more patient-centered care.
As a thesis student, you can explore challenges within areas such as AI/ML, complex software development, image analysis, visualization, and advanced database applications. We also welcome students with a UI/UX profile who are interested in contributing to the future of healthcare.
If you are passionate about technology and MedTech and want to use your skills to help create a healthier society, Sectra Medical offers an opportunity to work on challenges that have a real impact.
Sectra Communications – technology for a safer society
At Sectra Communications, we develop secure communication solutions that help defense forces, authorities, and other critical functions in society protect sensitive information and systems from eavesdropping and unauthorized access.
Our solutions are used at national and international levels, including by the EU, NATO, and more than half of the EU member states. As part of our team, you get the opportunity to work with challenges within cybersecurity, AI/ML, secure communications, software, and hardware engineering.
If you are passionate about technology and cybersecurity and want to contribute to a safer society, Sectra Communications offers an opportunity to work on real challenges with a meaningful purpose.
Your thesis at Sectra
Regardless of which area interests you most, we want your thesis project to be a good match for your skills, interests, and ambitions. Our scope includes a wide range of interesting challenges, and we are more than happy to discuss possible projects with you.
Our thesis workers work to solve real challenges, often spurring innovations that change the way we do business. You will have the opportunity to bring your own ideas and perspectives while working closely with experienced colleagues.
During your thesis project, you become a full-fledged member of the Sectra family. We hope that your time with us will be the beginning of a long-term relationship, whether you continue your career in Sweden or at one of our offices around the world.
Being part of Sectra means joining an innovative organization with hundreds of colleagues who are serious about what we do — but who also enjoy having fun together.
Work with great people
