The visit to Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan abbr. KTH was very interesting and inspiring.

KTH also called as the Royal Institute of Technology. The main campus buildings are at Valhallavägen in Östermalm. KTH institutions are distributed across several campuses in Stockholm County, located in Flemingsberg, Haninge, Kista and Södertälje in addition to the ones in Östermalm.

We visited the one in Kista. 

At KTH, Kista, we attended a lecture given by Mr. Robert. He told us various things about Sweden & KTH.

At first he gave us a brief history about Sweden to make us familiar with the country's past and also how education grew in Sweden. We were told about which universities were started in which part of the country and when for example, Uppsala University which is the oldest University in Sweden.

KTH offers programmes in Architecture and Civil Engineering, Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics & Mathematics, Information Technology, Life Science Technology, Material Science & Engineering, etc and doctoral degrees.

There we also met an Indian student, Samarth Dev, who told us how he got into KTH and life in Stockholm.

The session was very interactive. Many questions and answers were exchanged and various views and thoughts were shared.
