Division of Software and Computer Systems

The Division of Software and Computer Systems (SCS) is part of the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. We are in the Department of Computer Science (CS) and are located at KTH Kista.

KTH Kista moves to KTH Campus

The activities at KTH Kista will gradually be moved to the KTH Campus from the spring semester of 2025. The move will give researchers, teachers and students more community, better resources and closer cooperation.
