 Some small pieces of advice
Login at www.kth.se and complete the online
course about students rights and responsibilities
at KTH today!

http://www.studentratt.kth.se/en/rights-and-responsibilities/
 Some small pieces of advice

You must sign up for examinations to get a seat in the

room
Registrations for exams may close as early as 4 weeks
before the exam date! Sign up for your exams as early as
possible.

Ask experienced KTH students for advice and tips!

You will study together with students who have studied at
KTH for three years, so if you are unsure how things work
at KTH: do not hesitate to ask them for advice!

Do not take on a too heavy workload during your first

term!
Your programme director will guide you.
 Some small pieces of advice
Mobile phones must be switched off and out-of-reach
during exam!
Violation of this rule will give you a six weeks suspension from
your studies.

Degree project reports fall under the Swedish Public

Access to Information and Secrecy Act and are to be
publicly available to everyone!
Most students do their final degree projects at companies, who
sometimes want to classify the degree report, which is not
possible. Talk to your programme director as soon as you have
secured a degree project in a company to avoid problems.

Do not leave valuables unattended at any time!

KTH Campus is a very safe place, but beware of pickpockets!
