KTH’s Technical Preparatory Year Moves to Flemingsberg – Student Numbers Expected to Double in Autumn 2025
In the autumn of 2025, KTH will relocate its Technical Preparatory Year spots from Södertälje to Flemingsberg, resulting in a significant increase in student numbers at Campus Flemingsberg. By nearly doubling available seats and introducing a new learning center model in collaboration with 3 municipalities, KTH aims to meet the growing demand for technical education in the region.
This planned expansion will increase the number of spots in the Technical Preparatory Year program to over 400 and will further strengthen KTH’s presence in Flemingsberg, opening up new opportunities for student recruitment and future educational initiatives. The new learning center format will allow certain students to participate in their studies from learning centers in their home municipalities.
“Initially, this solution will be introduced for the municipalities of Södertälje, Nynäshamn, and Norrtälje, where students can attend classes remotely but with the support of local classrooms. This differs from traditional remote learning as students will have access to social and pedagogical support at their respective learning centers,” says Sebastiaan Meijer, Professor of Healthcare Logistics at KTH.
This initiative will also impact staffing, as KTH plans to transfer 5 – 6 employees from Södertälje to Flemingsberg. The Flemingsberg building will require certain adjustments to accommodate the increased number of students, which may result in a somewhat more compact environment.
Flemingsberg becomes a Key Gateway to KTH
The relocation and expansion are expected not only to increase the presence of students but also to create a more dynamic campus environment in Flemingsberg. For KTH, this investment represents an expanded opportunity to introduce students to the university’s broad offerings and activities.
“This means it will be even more vibrant here. Importantly, we will also have a larger volume for the future recruitment of KTH students. We truly become a gateway to KTH on a broad level, and we will work to develop this role further, allowing students to gain a greater introduction to what KTH is all about,” says Sebastiaan Meijer.
With this expansion, Flemingsberg is positioning itself as a central hub for KTH’s recruitment of technical talent.
