This is what non-European students cost

It costs SEK 145,000 per 60 higher education university credits/academic year. This is how much it will cost for third-country citizens to study at KTH. There is one exception, and this is for the School of Architecture where the price tag is SEK 245,000 per year/ 60 university credits.

This is the result of the Parliamentary decision made on 21 April concerning the charging of fees for non-European students.

A market evaluation among other things forms the basis of this price tag, but it should also of course cover the costs which KTH will incur.

“It is important to have a price which agrees as far as possible with KTH’s quality in an international perspective. The price tag for the architectural programme is higher because it is a more teacher-intensive programme,” says Peter Gudmundson.

At the same time he believes that the number of students from third-party countries will drop over the first few years. In the long run, there will be a recovery.

“But with time, I hope that we will be able to get back to the volumes we have today. We will be developing our own scholarship programme with financing from various external organisations. These may include companies, foundations or private citizens. There are four regions in the world where we have also appointed people whose job is to find students willing to pay from these regions,” says Peter Gudmundson.

He adds that strategically selected educational fairs are also an instrument to recruit more paying students.

“We will also be marketing our educational programmes to students who will be paying for their educations themselves,” says Peter Gudmundson.
