Since its founding in 1827, KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, has grown to become one of Europe's leading technical and engineering universities and a key centre of intellectual talent and innovation. We are Sweden's largest technical research and learning institution and home to students, researchers and faculty from around the world dedicated to advancing knowledge.

KTH offers over 60 two-year master's degree programmes (www.kth.se/en/studies/master) in English to students with a bachelor's degree or equivalent. We also provide one three-year bachelor's degree programme(www.kth.se/en/studies/bachelor). At KTH, you will access a vibrant student life and a prestigious academic environment.

Sweden is known as an open, multicultural society with a tradition of welcoming students from all over the world. We are also known for our advances and innovations, from the lifesaving seatbelt and the pacemaker to modern services like Spotify and Skype. The father of Swedish innovation was the inventor of dynamite, chemist Alfred Nobel. His legacy of contributions to humanity can be seen in the Noble Prize awards and is the same spirit that drives KTH forward. Following Nobel's footsteps, we host the welcome ceremony for new students and the graduation in the Stockholm City Hall, the venue for the Nobel Prize celebrations.
