Language courses in Swedish
The Swedish language courses give an introduction to Swedish language and culture. By acquainting yourself with the language and culture of Sweden you will easier get to know Swedish society and Swedish people.
The Division for Language and Communication at KTH offers exchange students Swedish language courses free of charge. An Intensive Swedish language course on the elementary level is offered at KTH campus in August every year. Part-time Swedish language courses are semester long and run along the other major exchange studies at KTH. We also offer faster language courses running for one study period on A1 och A2 level.

The Swedish courses have been divided into different proficiency levels - A1, A2, B1, B1/B2 and B2 - according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The courses are designed in such a way that each level is built on the preceding level. A1 is the elementary course, and if you have no previous knowledge of the language you should apply for this course. You must fulfill the requirements for each level before continuing to the next. Students with previous knowledge in Swedish should do a web-based placement test to confirm their level. It is an interactive test which gives the students an immediate result.
