University admission details

Admission included in application?

You apply on the DENSYS platform from 12 October 2026 to 27 January 2027 at 18:00 Paris time. The same application covers the programme and the scholarship. The application page on the programme website still shows last year's calendar, and these dates are the ones on the application platform. You cannot submit until both referees have uploaded their letters, and this is the most common last-minute problem. Two reviewers rate each application: degree, field and marks 45 points, recommendations and video 20, motivation and experience 25, English 10. The outcome is one of four: admitted with a scholarship, admitted with reduced costs, admitted as self-funded, or not admitted. In the last round results came in March. Convert your grade average to a 4.0 scale linearly, with two decimals. Competition for the KTH track in Sweden is much higher than for the others.
