How to become an exchange student
Each year KTH welcomes 1 000 exchange students from all over the world. Exchange studies normally entail studying a selection of courses, not leading to a KTH degree. However, students from some partner universities have the possibility of taking on double degree and dual master's studies at KTH. The university may also offer internships.
