An online course for programming beginners offered in Swedish.
Get started with the most popular programming language in the world – Python! This course will give you a head start on problem-solving programming.
This introductory Python programming course is a distance learning course with predetermined deadlines for code assignments and quizzes each week or bi-weekly. The course material consists of texts, code examples, and exercises and is done individually. The final oral presentation of the larger code project is mandatory. The students book it, and it will take place during the last week of the course (one hour/student, via Zoom, weekdays during the day). The course has no other scheduled sessions, and the students can work with the material when it suits them.
Tutoring is provided online only. Questions about admission and prerequisites should be sent to info@kth.se (KTH's Central Admissions), and other questions to dd100n-ka@kth.se. All admission to the course is made via antagning.se. For questions about registration, re-registration, and termination of studies, contact the Student Office.

After passing the course, the student should be able to
in order to after the course
The upper secondary course Mathematics 4 or Mathematics D.
High school mathematics (scientific program). Some computer experience (the concepts of operating system and file and experience from one computer application, e.g. word processing) e. g. the course Preparation Course in Programming and Computer Science.
You need to have access to a computer with an internet connection and the ability to install Python. You also need to have equipment to be able to conduct a video call (microphone, speakers/headphones and camera).
All course material will be available in Canvas, no additional course literature is needed.
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
LAB1 and LAB2 have to be passed in order for the student to present any part of LAB3.
If the submissions are not approved (in LAB1 and LAB2), these can be supplemented and submitted again.
The grade Fx can be supplemented to E/pass, for the component LAB3.
It is not possible to add an approved assignment on part LAB3 (grade E or higher) after the course offering has ended.
Recommended: DD1320 Applied Computer Science and DD1380 Java Programming for Python Programmers (only open to program students).
