Work remotely

If you work remotely at KTH, you can still access most of your KTH resources. On this page you will find the necessary information for working remotely.

Many of KTH's services do not require you to use the network at KTH. These services can be used if you log in to kth.se. Examples of some of these services are Self-reporting HR +, Service Management Edge and more. You will find these services in your personal menu .

It is important to remember that all resources have their limitations and can suffer from operational disruptions.

Please check for the latest operational status if some of the remote access services and tools are not working properly: Operational status for employees .
