Accommodation for new students
Stockholm offers a range of housing opportunities, and it is common to study in one part of the city and live in another. KTH Royal Institute of Technology cannot provide accommodation for every student coming to Stockholm, but through KTH Housing, we offer accommodation to some student groups and guidance to students who need to find housing on their own.
Accommodation for tuition fee-paying students
If you pay tuition fees for a full bachelor's or master's programme at KTH, you are guaranteed accommodation through KTH Housing for your first academic year, provided that you meet the current conditions. This also applies to students whose scholarships cover tuition fees. Different conditions may apply to joint master’s students. Read the current eligibility and application information from KTH Housing before applying.
You apply for accommodation after you have been admitted to KTH and paid your first tuition fee instalment. KTH Housing offers furnished accommodation at several locations on campus and in Stockholm. Available housing types and rents vary. Here you can explore the current KTH Housing locations and accommodation types .
Accommodation for students who don't pay fees
Most students who do not pay tuition fees cannot apply for accommodation through KTH Housing. Exceptions may apply to selected joint master’s and exchange students.
We recommend joining relevant housing queues and beginning your own search as soon as possible. KTH Housing provides practical advice on finding accommodation on your own .
Accommodation for exchange students
Exchange students, including double-degree and dual-master’s students, may apply for accommodation through KTH Housing. However, the number of rooms and apartments is limited, so accommodation cannot be guaranteed.
If you are eligible, you will receive information about the application process after being admitted to KTH. Follow the instructions and deadlines in your welcome email and check the current KTH Housing eligibility and application page.
We recommend looking for other housing at the same time. See KTH Housing’s guidance on finding accommodation on your own .
Accommodation for doctoral students
Doctoral students coming from abroad may be eligible for temporary accommodation through KTH Relocation. Availability is limited, and an application does not guarantee an offer.
Read the current eligibility criteria, contract information and application instructions on the KTH Relocation housing page .
Accommodation for students bringing families
If you are eligible for KTH Housing and plan to bring your spouse, partner or children, state this in your housing application.
KTH has a limited number of homes suitable for families. We will try to find accommodation that meets your needs, but family accommodation cannot be guaranteed. Any housing guarantee applies only to the admitted student, not to accompanying family members.
An offer may also differ from your preferred location or accommodation type. Do not make travel plans for your family based on your application alone; check who is included in the housing offer and contract.
