Application for exchange studies
When you apply for exchange studies depends on whether you study your entire education at KTH or whether you only study a master's programme at KTH. This page contains all the information you need about the application process.
This applies to the application
- You can apply for exchange studies from the second year of your studies at bachelor’s level, but not perform exchange studies before the third year of studies on bachelor’s level, at the earliest.
- If you already have been nominated and carried out exchange studies, or been nominated and declined your exchange allocation, you can apply again. However, students who have not previously applied for and been allocated a place have priority when places are allocated.
- You can apply to a maximum of five universities and put them in order of priority.
- You can not go on exchange studies to places for which the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs has stated an advice against travel. Please carefully check entry requirements and restrictions in the country/region where you intend to perform exchange studies. Learn more on UD avråder (regeringen.se) .
If you have already been allocated an exchange place for the coming study year, you may only apply for another exchange place, if:
- it turns out that the allocated place will not fit academically, or
- if you would like to apply for a prolonged stay at the allocated university.
Before applying, it is important to check that you are eligible for exchange studies.
How to apply

- Suppose you have been involved in THS reception activities for international students at any time during the last two years. In that case, you should also upload a certificate from THS to the application system. The certificate will give you 0,2 extra points to your GPA. The certificate is valid for two consecutive application rounds after completing the reception activities.
If your exchange studies are planned to start in your first year at the master's level, you must indicate which master's program you intend to apply for in your application for exchange studies.
Once you have started your application in Mobility Online, you can work in it until the last application date.
