Joint courses
KTH and SU offer courses in mathematics at the advanced level (Master level, second cycle of higher education) within many mathematical branches. For the 2025/26 academic year, the following is a preliminary list of courses within the program.
Courses with a star next to their code are "programme courses" that are guaranteed not to have clashing schedules. Programme courses at SU are pm Mondays and/or Thursdays, and programme courses at KTH are on Tuesdays and/or Fridays. For all other courses, you need to check the schedule for possible conflicts.

Courses jointly organized by KTH&SU
The following courses are given on a rotating schedule either yearly or every other year.
A course with the code SFXXXX is given at KTH and one with the code MMXXXX is given at SU.
