Registration in Ladok
Once you are admitted to a course you must register online via student.ladok.se to keep your place. Online registration opens 7 January, and closes at different times for different courses.
- Mathematics I (only given in Swedish): last day for registration is 15 January.
- Courses given and/or examined at KTH, so courses with the following course codes: BE7012, MM7051: last day for registration is 20 January. Register earlier if you can to get your KTH-account earlier.
- Other courses starting in January: last day for registration is 9 February.
- Other courses starting in March: last day for registration is 13 April.
You cannot register online for degree project courses in mathematics, we will register you for these when your project plan has been approved.
Learning platform
Our course pages can be found at kurser.math.su.se.
On most of the course pages you can "self enrol", but doing this does not mean that you are registered for the course! It only gives you access to the course page. You always have to register in Ladok separately, see above about registration.
Conditionally admitted
It is quite common that a student at the time of application has not finished all courses that are given as special eligibility requirements for the course or programme the student has applied for. This will result in the admission status "Conditionally admitted".
We will go through the conditions just before the courses start. As long as the condition remains you cannot register for the course in Ladok. If the condition is still in place by the time the course starts, and you haven't received any notification about whether or not you'll be allowed to take the course or programme you have applied for, contact our study advisors. If the course is one where online registration closes early, contact us before it closes.
You can also be conditionally admitted because you need to pay a tuition fee. You can find more information on tuition fees here:
Payment and repayment of tuition fee
Placed on reserve list
If you have a reserve place for a course, we may be able to offer you a spot in which case we will contact you around the start of the semester. If you have a conditional reserve place and are offered a place on the course, you also need to fulfil the condition(s) before you can take your place on the course.
