Get support in person at KTH

Course changes

Sometimes, you might need to change course(s) after you have made your initial course selection. Change your course by cancelling or interrupting the course(s) you do not intend to take in the service Ladok for students . Finish the course changes by sending an email with the new course (name, course code, and application code) to exchangestudies@kth.se .

If you are a dual master or double degree student, you should contact your international coordinator at your KTH school .

Give KTH your emergency contact information

KTH collects emergency contact information from all newly admitted international students. This is done so that we can contact someone close to you in case of an emergency.

Watch out for rental scams

If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. Be cautious when communicating with landlords, and never send money before visiting the property or signing a legitimate contract.

Please also note that subletting KTH Housing is strictly prohibited. Any such offers are not legitimate and should be avoided. If you come across listings claiming to sublet KTH housing, we recommend avoiding them and reporting the listing to housingoffice@kth.se  .

Visit our "Finding housing on your own"  page to read our tips on legitimate subletting websites and how to avoid fraud.
