For students required to pay tuition fees there are a range of KTH and external scholarships available. KTH's scholarships  are open to all fee-paying applicants and cover the tuition fee for one or two years. The Swedish Institute  (SI) offers a number of scholarships for students from targeted countries that cover both the tuition fee and living expenses.

Students applying for studies at KTH through University Admissions are required to pay an application fee of SEK 900. This fee must be paid before the end of January, since the assessment of the application is dependent on payment of the fee.

How and when to pay the application fee (University Admissions)

Students applying to a joint master's programme through another university or consortium, where a portion of the study time is spent at KTH, may be required to pay an application fee to that university or consortium.
