Late application for exchange studies
At the beginning of each academic year, you can make a late application for exchange studies. You can apply for exchange places that are left over from the latest application rounds. The late application is open at the start of the autumn semester, and you can then apply for exchange places available for the upcoming spring semester. When making a late application for exchange studies, KTH will allocate places first-come, first-served.
About late application for exchange studies
KTH’s ordinary application rounds for exchange studies are in November and February each year, and you apply for exchange studies for the coming academic year. When the selections are complete, KTH compiles lists of the remaining exchange places. The late application for exchange studies will open at the beginning of the coming autumn semester. You can then choose exchange places that have not been allocated and apply for exchange studies for the coming spring semester.
Some places are available for all KTH students, while others are only available for students in specific programmes. For late applications, KTH applies the first-come, first-served principle.
