Application and tuition fees for master's studies

A degree from KTH is an investment for life. If you are not a citizen of an EU/EEA country or Switzerland you are generally required to pay application and tuition fees. As university studies in Sweden is free for Swedish citizens, it is also free for citizens of other EU countries. However, some joint programmes may charge fees from EU students.

Application fee

The application fee for all programmes applied for through University Admissions is SEK 900. The fee cannot be waived and must be paid by 1 February, since the application assessment depends on fee payment. Further information is provided by University Admissions .

Tuition fee

The full tuition fee for most two-year programmes with both years spent at KTH is SEK 342,000, but it varies between the programmes.
