Apart from the beautiful main KTH campus, we have four other campuses spread around Stockholm: KTH Flemingsberg, KTH Kista, KTH Södertälje and KTH Solna. And I am sure you would never get tired of exploring each of them.

Sustainability, Equality and diversity, Internationalisation and Digitalisation are the four pillars that KTH emphasises. All we do here, including teaching and research, are closely related to the university’s core values.

#3 – The three libraries

We have three libraries in total, including the library at the main campus, the Kista campus and the Södertälje campus. Except for the Kista library, which only opens to KTH affiliated, the other two are public libraries accessible to everyone.

Founded in 1927, KTH is Sweden’s oldest and largest technical university. This year marks the 195th anniversary of our school and its excellence in training numerous outstanding professionals and leaders in the field throughout the past two centuries.

  1. Hey! I’m a year from graduating and I would like to study Architecture at KTH. I’m from Greece and I’m not quite sure if I can. Architecture appears in the section of Master’s degree but this application requires a bachelor’s degree. Is that correct or am I just confused? Do I need any specific diplomas in order to study Architecture after I graduate ?
    I would appreciate your help and your answers!
    Thank you!

    1. Hello Ivi,

      Thank you for your question! Yes, you may certainly apply for our master’s programme in architecture. Also, it is correct that a bachelor’s degree is required. You may kindly refer to the specific programme requirements on the KTH MSc Architecture web page for further information. I hope this will help!

    1. Hello Juan,

      Good to know that you are interested in applying to KTH! Each year individual programs admit students with different profiles, so it is hard to tell what will be the exact grades for getting a place at your desired programme. But you are always encouraged to refer to the specific programme requirements on the programme’s web page for more information. Thank you!
