MSc Machine Learning: your questions, answered

What are the entry requirements for MSc Machine Learning at KTH Royal Institute of Technology?

A bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, mathematics or physics, including calculus, linear algebra, probability and programming. English language: IELTS 6.5 overall, with no band below 5.5; TOEFL iBT 90 overall; PTE Academic 62 overall. Your Tutopiya counsellor checks your specific qualifications against these requirements before you apply.

How much does MSc Machine Learning cost?

Indicative tuition is SEK 155,000 / year for international students. Fees are set by the university and can change between intakes, so your counsellor confirms the exact figure before you apply. Tutopiya's own counselling and application service is for a flat SGD 50.

When can I start MSc Machine Learning?

This course has intakes in August 2026. Applying 6 to 12 months ahead gives you the widest choice of places and scholarships.

What does the placement service cost?

A flat SGD 50, billed as two monthly instalments of SGD 25. That covers everything: counselling, university matching, application support and guidance right up to your offer. There are no hidden extras, no agent fees and no commission on your tuition, because our counselling is funded by our university partners, the SGD 50 only covers administration. Separately, you pay the university’s own tuition or semester fees directly to the university after you accept your offer.

What exactly do you help with?

Everything from start to finish: understanding your options, shortlisting the right programme, preparing your application and personal statement, submitting to the university, and guiding you through the offer, enrolment and visa paperwork, all with a dedicated counsellor.

Which universities can you place me into?

We place students into a range of UK and international universities, and we shortlist the best-fit options for your grades, budget and goals rather than pushing a single school. On some pages we run dedicated SGD 50 placement drives for a specific partner university, and we are always adding more partners. Tell us your goals and your counsellor will map out your options.

Do I need my final results before I apply?

No. We work from predicted grades, so you can start the process well before results day and secure a conditional offer. Once your final grades are in, we help you confirm your place.
