Research and higher education in the sciences started in Stockholm in the 18th century, with education in medicine and various research institutions such as the [[Stockholm Observatory]]. The medical education was eventually formalised in 1811 as [[Karolinska Institute]]t. [[KTH Royal Institute of Technology]] (''Swedish: Kungliga Tekniska högskolan'') was founded in 1827 and is Scandinavia's largest higher education institute of technology with 13,000 students; it is Sweden's foremost polytechnic, and spearheaded several governmental research projects in the twentieth century. [[Stockholm University]], founded in 1878 with university status granted in 1960, has 52,000 students {{As of|2008|lc=y}}. It also incorporates historical institutions, such as the Observatory, the [[Swedish Museum of Natural History]], as well as the botanical garden ''[[Bergianska trädgården]]''. The [[Stockholm School of Economics]], founded in 1909, is one of the few private institutions of higher education in Sweden, and is generally reckoned one of the most prestigious business schools in the world.

In the [[fine art]]s, educational institutions include the [[Royal College of Music, Stockholm|Royal College of Music]], which has a history going back to the conservatory founded as part of the [[Royal Swedish Academy of Music]] in 1771, the [[Royal Institute of Art|Royal University College of Fine Arts]], which has a similar historical association with the [[Royal Swedish Academy of Arts]] and a foundation date of 1735, and the [[Swedish National Academy of Mime and Acting]], which is the continuation of the school of the [[Royal Dramatic Theatre]], once attended by renowned actors like [[Greta Garbo]].

The [[Södertörn University]] was founded in 1995 as a multi-disciplinary institution for southern [[Metropolitan Stockholm]], to balance the many institutions located in the northern part of the region. Other institutes of higher education include the [[Military Academy Karlberg]], the world's oldest military academy to remain in its original location, inaugurated in 1792 and housed in [[Karlberg Palace]]; there is also the [[Swedish Defence University]], [[Ersta Sköndal University College]], [[Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences]] and the [[University College Stockholm]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=bishop |title=Universities in Stockholm |url=https://www.studyinstockholm.se/universities/ |access-date=28 October 2023 |website=Study in Stockholm |language=en-US |archive-date=28 October 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231028192122/https://www.studyinstockholm.se/universities/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

The biggest complaints from students of higher education in Stockholm are the lack of student accommodations, the difficulty in finding other accommodations and the high rent.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Emerging housing crisis for students |url=http://www.stockholmnews.com/more.aspx?NID=5690 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120429155812/http://www.stockholmnews.com/more.aspx?NID=5690 |archive-date=29 April 2012 |access-date=19 May 2012 |publisher=Stockholmnews.com }}</ref>
