Admission, application and eligibility

Application to our courses is done in different ways depending on whether you are a program student at KTH or if you wish to read the course as an independent student. You have to apply for the course the right way for us to treat your application. To be admitted and registered you have to qualify for the course.

The eligibility requirements consist of two parts: basic eligibility and specific eligibility. There is a link on each course page on the RCN homepage leading to the eligibility information.
