Newly admitted degree programme students

Congratulations on your admission to KTH! Exciting times await you, and we look forward to meeting you in August. It's now time for you to start preparing for your move to Stockholm. To help you out, we have gathered all information you need; just follow the necessary steps below. Also, join our webinars to get further support with each step and chat with KTH staff.

Welcome to KTH!

Congratulations on getting admitted! In this video, you will meet KTH staff and students that will tell you what will happen during the upcoming months.

1. Find out your admissions result

Your admission result is published to your account at UniversityAdmissions.se on 7 April (14 April for bachelor's programme applicants). Here is an explanation of the different results.

2. Pay your tuition fee

If you need to pay a tuition fee, you will receive an invoice for the first semester in your email after the admissions results are published.

3. Figure out your insurances

Make sure you have additional medical insurance coverage in case of an emergency or if you fall ill during an off-campus activity.

4. Find accommodation

It's time for you to start looking for accommodation. Some students are guaranteed housing through KTH; the application is open from 1–31 May.

5. Apply for a residence permit

If you are not a citizen of an EU/EEA country, you need to apply for a residence permit. Start your application four months before you travel to Sweden.

6. Apply for our English course

We offer a pre-sessional course in English. Some students are given priority to a place in the course, but everyone can apply.

7. Arrive at KTH and join the introduction

We offer official arrival days with bus services in mid-August. Once you arrive, we encourage you to join the introduction for international students.

8. Attend the school introduction

The start of the semester kicks off with the mandatory introductions where you will meet your academic contacts and get introduced to your school.
