Courses for architecture students
As an exchange student at the KTH Department of Architecture you will follow a predetermined course package of 30 ECTS credits per semester.
Courses for students within architecture
Please note that KTH and your home university needs to have a specific exchange agreement within the subject area architecture, for you to be able to take courses in architecture at KTH. All courses are compulsory and it is therefore not possible for exchange students in architecture to do a degree project at KTH or choose courses at another school or department at KTH.
As an exchange student within architecture, you should both make a course selection in Mobility-Online when admitted, and a separate studio and studio courses selection before the start of your exchange studies at KTH.
Course selection when admitted
When admitted to KTH, you must make a course selection in Mobility-Online. If admitted, you should select the two courses listed below, depending on your exchange semester.
Autumn semester
Spring semester
Studio selection before the semester
Along with the listed orientation and seminar courses, you will take two studio project courses. Two or three weeks before the start of the semester, you will be contacted by email by KTH with information about the studios and the studio project courses. You will then be able to make a selection for your coming semester.
Credits and grades
KTH Department of Architecture uses a credit system compatible with ECTS credits, where one academic year of full-time studies equals 60 credits and one semester equals 30 credits. The department does not apply the ECTS grading scale (A-E) in the examination of courses and projects. Students are only graded “P” for pass and “F” for fail.
