Student services
KTH provides qualified and confidential student counselling to all students. The counsellors can help you become more aware of your own resources and make better choices about your studies and professional development.
Housing services
Some international student groups are guaranteed housing through KTH, while some have to find housing on their own. Stockholm offers a range of housing opportunities, but finding accommodation can take time so you must start looking early. The vast public transportation system makes it possible to study in one part of Stockholm and live in another.
