So finally the selection result has released and it is time to make a decision! In order
to keep your place or to be placed on the reserve/waiting list for the second selection
round, remember to REPLY to your first Notification of Selection Results before April

I understand sometimes it is difficult to make such a big decision to a new place. Maybe
there are some questions in your mind to keep you thinking, so here I list some of the
questions that you may need to be answered. Hope it will help

students with KTH and Sweden. The introduction program includes activities such as:

3: Where to get useful information?
The KTH International Student Office will also give information about things such as
civic registration number, bank account, health care, insurance and language courses as
well as inform about safety/security and student social life.
The student union at KTH has a service for international students called THS
International arranges a number of social activities as well:
- The student union also provides opportunities to get in touch with a Swedish “buddy” student, which can be extremely helpful in getting acquainted with life at KTH.
- Other examples of services provided by the student union include:
- Café, restaurant and book shop
- Sports
- Parties and other events
I can say that after you get at KTH, you will be helped a lot and take good care of. So
there is nothing to worry about. Just say YES and enjoy your new life!
