Exchange student at KMH
KMH welcome incoming exchange students from our partner institutions under the Erasmus+ and Nordplus programme. Your application is handled entirely by your home institution. Contact your local exchange co-ordinator for details about how to get nominated as an exchange student.
How to apply – exchange student
For you to come to KMH as an exchange student, your home university must have signed an exchange agreement with KMH. Also, the international coordinator at your home university must nominate you in the Mobility Online system for exchange studies at KMH. Ask your international coordinator for help and more information.

You need to upload the following documents in the application system:
- Transcript of Records (in English).
- CV.
- Demo material (media files of your portfolio, max 100 MB).
- Motivation letter (maximum one A4 page).
Please note that students must be nominated by their international coordinator in the EASY Mobility Online System or by e-mail to international@kmh.se. This should be done by the same deadline: 4 March 2024.
As the Mobility Online system is new from this year there may be bugs and other issues, but we hope it will work without problems.
For any questions regarding the application, please e-mail international coordinator Malin Ahlén at international@kmh.se.
Courses for international exchange students
We offer about 100 courses that exchange students can choose from. The international coordinator at your home institution will help you find out which of them that may suit you.
Language
KMH offers a small number of courses with all tuition in English language. We do not require a specific result from any language test, such as TOEFL or IELTS, but you are expected to have a high level of proficiency in English. Recommended level according to the European language scale is B2.

Credits and grading system
In Sweden academic credits are called credits (“högskolepoäng” or ”hp”). One semester of full-time studies consists of 30 credits. Swedish credits correspond directly to ECTS credits.
The Royal College of Music (KMH) does not use a grading scale. On completion of a course only one of the following grades is to be used for all students: pass or fail.
Study as a programme student
If you want to become a programme student at KMH and get a degree from KMH, you apply in the same way as Swedish students.
Please note that Swedish is general eligibility for all our Bachelor Programs.
