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.

Steps shaping innovation and growth – Natasha Bank sums up the first year of Life Science Cluster Flemingsberg

A future life science cluster isn’t built in a year – but with a solid foundation and the courage to act, important steps can be taken along the way. In February 2025, we launched Life Science Cluster Flemingsberg: a multifaceted project with powerful, interconnected ambitions – to enable Flemingsberg’s life science cluster to reach its full potential by collaboration and creating the right conditions for the establishment and growth of those who drive innovation – small and medium-sized enterprises – and, in doing so, contribute to the Stockholm region’s leading position within the sector.

Johnny Högberg Summarizes 2025 – A Year of Growth and Collaboration in Flemingsberg

We are most effective and make the greatest impact when we engage our founders and leverage their size, organizations, and influence, and we still strongly believe in this. At the same time, the fact that we have grown as an organization has also made a difference. Today, we are exactly the kind of “two-pizza team” that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos highlights as the most effective. Among other things, we are now running two cluster initiatives and creating a level of engagement, buzz, and content that is noticeable in Flemingsberg and is actually helping to change the area.
