Sectra Medical – Master Thesis Program

At Sectra Medical, we save lives. How do we do that? By designing and producing medical imaging IT solutions that increase the efficiency of hospitals and clinics worldwide. With 30 years of experience and the highest customer satisfaction for eight consecutive years our knowledge and passion is clear. Our vision of using technology to create a patient-centered care is what drives us every day. Now we want to share that knowledge and passion with you - the future of engineering.


We welcome driven and talented soon-to-be-graduates with a passion for medtech to our master thesis program in Linköping and Örebro for the spring of 2022. If you are interested in being part of the future of healthcare, we offer you the opportunity to use your ideas, energy, curiosity, and determination to create a better patient experience. Our scope includes a wide range of interesting challenges, and we are more than happy to discuss possible projects with you. We want you to find a project that first and foremost is in line with your skills, interests, and ambitions. That’s the key to a successful project. For technical areas your topic could be centered around image analysis, visualization, advanced database applications and other complex software development. If you are interested in working in direct and close contact with customers, we can offer projects to develop and evaluate smaller product ideas.
A little teaser about possible thesis topics for inspiration:

During your thesis project you are a full-fledged member of the Sectra family, and our mission and hope is that you want to stay with us even after your project is done. Either here in Sweden or at any of our offices worldwide. Being part of Sectra means joining an innovative organization with hundreds of colleagues that love to have fun together. What we do is serious business, no doubt about that, but we love (and need) to have fun and laugh together as well. This means you can expect various social events on a regular basis (at least that is our hope now that the pandemic is slowing down). Our headquarters in Linköping is home to half of our employees but we are always in close contact and collaboration with our colleagues and customers all around the world.

You are:

Enrolled in an engineering-program on a master level, preferably within IT, software engineering or similar with a strong academic background
Fluent in English and, preferably, Swedish



Our program is of course designed for students with a passion and talent for technology and the medical IT industry so this is a must for any applicant. Our thesis workers work to solve real challenges, often spurring innovations that change the way we do business. Therefore, we are looking for individuals with ambitions and curiosity and the motivation to be a part of the future of healthcare. We want pioneers and problem solvers, to help us create a healthier society.


Please make sure to attach your CV, cover letter and transcripts/grades from both university and gymnasium/upper-secondary school in your application.


Like previously stated we are very open to discussions on what exactly you would like to work on within our scope. Therefore, please specify in your cover letter why you want to do your thesis work at Sectra and what areas of our business that interest you and would be a good starting-point for thesis project discussions.
