Are Ukrainian citizens who are already studying at Swedish universities and who are finishing their studies exempt from tuition fees?

In order for a Ukrainian citizen to be exempted from paying tuition fees, they must have a residence permit in Sweden on some other basis than studying. This means that a person who currently has a residence permit for studies in Sweden and will continue their education will also continue to be obligated to pay tuition fees.

Has KTH ceased cooperation and contacts with Russia and Belarus?

At the request of the Swedish government, KTH has ceased cooperation and contacts with governmental institutions in Russia and Belarus. No new contacts will be initiated with Russian or Belarusian institutions.
