Congratulations on your admission to KTH! Exciting times await you, and we look forward to meeting you on campus. It's now time to start preparing your move to Stockholm. To help you out, we've put together the most important steps to take.
Next steps after admission
Your admission result will be published in your account at
University Admissions
on 26 March. Here you will also find an
explanation of the different admission results
. If admitted, non-EU students should pay their first tuition fee, apply for a residence permit, and arrange housing through KTH Housing. EU and Swedish students can instead begin searching for housing independently. If you need support, we also offer webinars and events to guide you through the key steps on your journey to KTH.
Pay the first instalment of your tuition fee
If you need to pay a tuition fee to KTH, you will find payment information at Ladok for students within a week of being admitted.
If you are not a citizen of an EU/EEA country, you need to apply for a residence permit. We provide guidance on what you need to prepare before you apply.
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
.
Through our digital and in-person events — and our community on the Goin app — you can meet other students, get hands-on support, and dive deeper into the guides on our website.
From 3 August until the start of studies on 24 August, visit KTH Entré to activate your KTH account and gain access to KTH's digital and physical infrastructure. We recommend arriving on one of our official
Arrival Days
, when additional services and exceptional vibes await. If you're enrolled in a pre-sessional language course, aim to arrive on 3 August, otherwise, 15 or 16 August are your ideal dates. This gives you time to settle in and enjoy the optional introduction activities before studies begin.
Arrival Days give you the smoothest start
We offer official Arrival days on 3, 15 and 16 August. During these days, we'll meet you at the airport and make sure you get settled on campus.
Each year, we invite our new students to attend a Welcome ceremony at Stockholm City Hall, best known as the banquet hall for the annual Nobel Banquet.
You have finally activated your KTH account and are now starting your studies at KTH. Your first important step as a new student is to
register for your courses
. You must register in order to access the course in KTH's learning platform Canvas, register for exams, and have your results reported. So do not miss it!
