Religious matters and contemplation/spiritual rooms at KTH
You are welcome to contact the chaplaincy if you need someone to talk to someone, if you have any queries regarding religious matters or if you would like to know more about the Church of Sweden. The chaplaincy can also put you in contact with chaplains of other faith traditions if you wish to talk to someone of your own faith.
There are contemplation rooms available for prayer and meditation at the KTH Campus, KTH Haninge and at KTH Kista. The rooms are accessible by the KTH access card, given to all students upon registration.
