About the course

All teaching is in English, through lectures, laboratory work and practical exercises.

Entry requirements for Irish students

  • University Admissions in Sweden accepts the Leaving Certificate for general entry if you took at least six subjects, with at least two at Higher Level. Predicted grades are not accepted, so you apply with your final results.
  • The programme also has specific entry requirements, written as Swedish upper-secondary courses (typically in maths and science). University Admissions decides whether your Leaving Cert subjects and levels match them. Check KTH’s entry requirements page for this programme before applying.
  • English: Leaving Cert English at Ordinary Level grade 6 (O6) or D, or better, meets the requirement.

How to apply

  1. Check requirementsRead KTH’s entry requirements page for this programme and confirm with University Admissions that your Leaving Cert maths and science subjects and levels meet the specific requirements.
  2. Apply onlineApply at universityadmissions.se between 16 October 2026 and 15 January 2027, ranking KTH Information and Communication Technology among your choices.
  3. Upload documentsBy 1 February 2027 upload your final Leaving Cert results and a copy of your passport or ID card as proof of EU citizenship.
  4. Results and startAdmission results are published on 8 April 2027. Accept your place and plan to arrive in Stockholm for the August 2027 start.
Deadline for Irish/EU applicants: International round for autumn 2027: applications open 16 October 2026 and close 15 January 2027; documents due 1 February 2027; results 8 April 2027. Second round: opens 15 March 2027, closes 15 April 2027, results from 9 July 2027. Places are ranked on final grades, so Leaving Cert results (late August) arrive too late for both rounds; most Irish school-leavers apply the following year..

Costs

  • No tuition fee and no application fee for Irish and other EU/EEA citizens. You must upload a copy of your passport or ID card as proof of citizenship by the document deadline, or your application is treated as late. Non-EU students pay fees.
Sweden ranks applicants on final grades only, so a current Leaving Cert student cannot realistically apply for 2027 entry and would normally apply after receiving results (for example, after a gap year). Specific maths and science requirements apply, so check them first.
