Checklist for new degree programme students
1. Find out your admissions result
Your admission result is published to your account at
University Admissions
on 27 March. Here is an explanation of the different results.
If you are not a citizen of an EU/EEA country, you need to apply for a residence permit. Please note that you must have paid the first instalment of the tuition fee before applying for a residence permit.
We offer official Arrival days in August every year. Once you arrive, we encourage you to join the introduction for international students.
5. Attend the Introduction meetings
The start of the semester kicks off with the school introduction meetings where you will meet your academic contacts and get introduced to your school.
6. Register and begin your studies
In connection to the start of your studies, you have to register for your courses.
KTH collects emergency contact information from all newly admitted international students. This is done so that we can contact someone close to you in case of an emergency.
Moving to a new country is a big step, and we at KTH are here to make the transition easier. Please read our guide to living and studying in Sweden and learn more about the insurances you need, how to find accommodation and how to apply for our language courses. We also offer webinars and events to guide you through the important steps on your journey to KTH.
It's time for you to start looking for a place to stay. Some student groups are guaranteed housing through KTH Housing, while others need to find housing on their own.
As a KTH student, you can access student discounts through a digital student discount card from Mecenat. Find out more on the student unions (THS) website.
When you eventually write an exam, you have to register for the exam. Otherwise, you will not be able to attend. Find out how to register and at what dates.
If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. Be cautious when communicating with landlords, and never send money before visiting the property or signing a legitimate contract.
Please also note that subletting KTH Housing is strictly prohibited. Any such offers are not legitimate and should be avoided. If you come across listings claiming to sublet KTH housing, we recommend avoiding them and reporting the listing to
housingoffice@kth.se
.
Visit our
"Finding housing on your own"
page to read our tips on legitimate subletting websites and how to avoid fraud.

KTH offers you study and career counselling to help you develop effective study strategies and to make informed choices in your study situation. Contact your master coordinator or study counsellor if you need guidance in your study situation.
Students with documented, permanent disabilities can get compensatory support in their studies at KTH. What support you can get is an individual assessment and depends on what disability you have. Find out what support you can get and how to apply.
