Arrival Days at KTH

As a new student at KTH, we offer you arrival services and an introduction programme with both social and informative activities. Taking part in our Arrival Days and the THS International Reception is a way for you to become familiar with KTH and start making connections.

The Arrival Days for the 2026 autumn semester will take place on Monday 3 August, Saturday 15 August and Sunday 16 August.

We organise these days to provide you a smooth arrival at KTH and important information for a great start. Arrival Days are also an opportunity to make your first friends, so we strongly encourage you to join us on any of these days. We look forward to welcoming you and helping you settle in, marking an exciting start at KTH!

More details on Arrival Days will be published on this page throughout the spring. 

THS International Reception

From Arrival Day to mid September, the THS International Reception hosts a variety of activities to help you settle in at KTH.

From museum visits to karaoke and baking nights, the reception provides a fantastic opportunity to explore the city, connect with fellow students, and create lasting memories. Events with associations and chapters will also introduce you to groups you can join once the semester begins.

Check out these exciting opportunities on the THS website  and keep an eye on your email for updates!
