Housing service eligibility

Exchange students (including double degree and dual master exchange students) doing one or two semesters at KTH are not prioritized and the chances of getting an offer are small. You can still apply for housing through KTH and be offered accommodation if and when there is availability. We highly recommend all exchange students search for housing on your own  in addition to applying.

Remember to tick the checkbox for accommodation when applying for exchange studies at KTH (in the system Mobility Online). If you forgot to check the box, contact your exchange coordinator.

All incoming exchange students starting August 2025 will be sent a welcome letter from KTH via email in May with the housing application link. Remember to check your spam inbox. Please make sure to fill in the application form without delay and follow through with all steps required in Mobility Online before the deadline stated in the email in order to have a chance to housing through KTH Housing.

Start date on the contracts will be 1 August 2025. Contracts for one semester ends 8 January 2026 (including that night). Contracts for two semesters ends 30 June 2026. Check the dates for the Academic year 2025-2026 .

Read the conditions for KTH Housing  before applying. Use the application link in your welcome email and make 1 application only.

Housing service eligibility

Non tuition fee-paying students (citizens of EU, EEA or Switzerland), other than those covered in group 1,2 or 3, can not apply for accommodation via KTH. Your eligibility is not affected by if you are doing a full master's or bachelor's programme, are admitted to courses only, or doing an internship.

Due to a change in Swedish law limiting universites possibility to rent out housing effective from January 2023, we can no longer offer accommodation to this student group. We recommend looking for housing on your own .
