An international university Students and personnel from more than 100 countries English-language programmes Double degree programmes Degree projects abroad Exchange studies International alliances, e.g., CLUSTER and INSPIRE KTH is an international university with students from all around the world. The University collaborates with Europe's leading technological universities and with prestigious universities around the world. There is a long tradition of conducting and participating in international exchanges and projects in the framework of programmes such as Lifelong learning/Erasmus, Erasmus Mundus, Marie Curie, MFS (Minor Field Studies) and Linnaeus-Palme, among others. Comprehensive work is also pursued in developing nations. KTH has cooperation agreements with Europe's leading technological universities and with prestigious universities around the world. In 2013 started a total of 618 (509) students studying abroad. Of them studied 51 percent at a university outside Europe. During the year began 1 058 (1 372) exchange students study at KTH. Most students came from universities in Germany, France and Spain. The Master's degree in Architecture and Civil Engineering is offered in English. KTH offers a large number of Master's programmes in English, with both Swedish and foreign applicants. This initiative is in keeping with KTH's objective to increase the research-based component of undergraduate work, and to participate in a global educational context. KTH manages and participates in a great number of international projects. Many are funded by one of the EU's programmes for education and research, like Lifelong Learning, Erasmus Mundus, Marie Curie and Tempus, among others. Other projects are funded by national programmes, such as the Sida programmes Linnaeus-Palme and MFS, for example. KTH has elected to focus its networking activities on four prioritised regions. These four regions are India, China, South East Asia and Brazil. The prioritisations are primarily intended to form the basis for the long-term work of recruiting non-European Master's students. www.kth.se

New research centre for software and innovation 2016-2019 The Castor research centre has been awarded a grant by CSC, ICT and external partners for the purpose of strengthening KTH and Sweden within the theory and tools for the industrial production of software. Art, technology and design is also being enhanced with the building of a new centre. Focus will be research and education at KTH and Stockholm’s art and design colleges.

The perfect partner in a changing world In terms of our leading edge research skills and the scope of our courses and programmes – CSC is the perfect partner. KTH works actively and strategically to develop education and research to increase our impact on society.

The social fur hat Furhat is a social robot sprung out of 15 year’s of research at KTH into speech-based dialogue systems, 3D animation and studies in human-computer interaction. The Furhat robot head uses a state-of-the-art animation system that is back-projected on a translucent mask. Furhat is now a company and its future markets include manufacturing, education, video conferencing, e-health and entertainment

Applied know-how grows society Improving electronic voting systems KTH researchers have been attracting much attention for their research in electronic voting systems. CSC researchers have found flaws in Norwegian and US voting systems and developed methods to make them secure. Building a world that fits you KTH spin-off Volumental is one of the most talked about start-ups of the past few years. The company makes products that can scan the whole body, or parts of it, to create a better fit for clothes and shoes. KTH giving Wikipedia a voice CSC is collaborating on a project to teach Wikipedia to speak.

Revitalising education Openness, quality and innovation are changing education at undergraduate and graduate level. Our strength lies in a combination of offering a wide range of courses and programmes and world class, cutting-edge skills.

The app that makes kids smarter Flying Colors 3D is a graphics app for iPad that started as a student project and is developed by a KTH alumni and an associate professor at CSC. One goal of the app is to make 3D modelling easy and available for everyone. Another is to increase understanding of mathematics, particularly the ability of three-dimensional calculations. The app trains awareness and provides a good understanding of a number of technical areas. It was awarded at the C Awards in 2014 and can be downloaded for free.

Some successfully student projects “Forma i Luften”  explores the creative boundary between physical actions and virtual objects by allowing people to sculpt with their body the air in front of them and watch, hear, and feel the sculpture unfold. Winning participation at C Awards In 2016 nineteen projects and 120 students from CSC competed in the C Awards. In the finals KTH came out winner in six of eight categories Students make games for real The game Mad Sand brings together a digital world with a real sandpit to create something unique – an interactive experience built around an augmented reality and teamwork. The game has been created by students at CSC.”
