Late application for exchange studies for this study year, 2024/2025, has closed.
After the allocation of exchange study places, there will be a number of places open for which qualified students can apply. The late application is open in the beginning of the autumn semester every year. You can apply for exchange places that have not been allocated. Some exchange places are open for all KTH students, while some are open only for students at the respective KTH schools. With late application, KTH is nominating students on a first come, first served basis.

Requirements and preparations
For students with Swedish residence permit
A condition for a residence permit in Sweden is that the studies require the student's presence here. If you are planning to go to another country for an exchange term, you should contact the authorities of that country to find out what is required for a stay in that country. You should also contact the unit at the Swedish Migration Agency that granted the residence permit.
If you go on an exchange during your ongoing permit period, you are no longer entitled to a residence permit, which may result in it being revoked. A revocation of a residence permit does not mean that it will be more difficult for you when you apply for a new permit to continue your studies in Sweden. However, it is important that you apply for a new permit in time before returning to Sweden. You must have the new permit before you enter Sweden.
Before submitting the application, make sure that you are eligible according to the principles described at
Requirements and selection
. Please note that, in this application round, your study credentials will be based on the finalised courses during the latest terminated study period in your programme, at the time of your application.
You are not permitted to drop out of an exchange place you have been allocated to apply for another exchange place. If you have already been allocated an exchange place in January or March, 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.
To be complete, the application must include:
a preliminary course form
preliminary course choice form (dotx 65 kB), that is, a list of courses that you plan to study at the chosen universities; also motivate your choices. The studies should be equivalent to full-time studies and the credits awarded must be possible to get recognised into your degree at KTH. Please read
the FAQ on exchange studies
about course choices.
an email message you must send to
your school's international coordinator
, so that the application will get handled by her/him. If you don't notify your international coordinator by email, your application is not considered valid.
Do not forget to check the language of instruction. Exchange places are allocated on a "first come, first served " basis, as soon as the eligibility has been verified by
your school's international coordinator
.
Application
If you make a late application to more than one university, you need to rank the selected universities in order of priority. You will be made an offer for the university you have given the highest priority, if there is still a an exchange place, on condition that you meet the requirements.
The online application is made in two steps: the first part is about you and your study background. Once this is sent into the system, you will receive a message to complete the second part; then submit the application. Just follow the instructions carefully, then the application gets all correct.
