Studies at KTH
Before starting your studies at KTH, it is helpful to understand how studies are organised, how courses and examinations work, and what responsibilities you have as a student.
KTH's IT services will help you with your KTH account, the access card you use on campus and your access to wi-fi, printers and software. There is a quick reference guide to get you started with your IT services.
To help you settle in, we provide you with a welcoming environment and a full range of support and service tailored to the needs of international students.
Once you arrive and begin your life in Stockholm, there are several tasks to take care of, such as obtaining a Swedish personal identity number and learning about the healthcare system. Here, we have compiled essential information to help you settle in.
If you have been admitted to a programme or a course but cannot begin your studies, you can apply for deferment. Admitted students may be granted deferment of the start of their studies if there are specific grounds. The majority of courses and programmes at KTH start once a year. Deferment of studies is therefore normally granted for one year.
Do not hesitate to contact us; we are here to help. KTH can help you get answers to your questions about KTH and your move to Sweden. You can email us at
