Student Exchange application procedure

This section contains a step-by-step description of the application process for exchange students.

The application procedure for exchange students differs from that of non-exchange

students. As an exchange student, you must be nominated by your home university.

You will remain registered at your home university and apply through the

International coordinators at your home university.

Application process
 Find out if there is an exchange agreement between your home university and the
destination university by contacting and consulting your home university.

Contact the International coordinator at your home university for further information

about application procedures and admission requirements.

Browse the destination university course catalogue to decide which courses you are

interested in applying to. You will generally only be allowed to study in the area

named in the exchange agreement. Choose your courses together with your

department at your home university and your department in your destination

University, considering the subject statutes and validation stipulated by your home

university.

After you have been nominated by your home university, the procedures differ

depending on whether you are coming under a central university-wide agreement or a

departmental agreement. You will get information on how to proceed from the

International coordinator at your home university.

Complete the application form. Once you have been nominated by your home
institution and your nomination has been accepted, the destination university will
send you an email with a link to complete the online application form, so you will send
it back to them.

Attach all the required documents, including:

 a photocopy of your passport

 a copy of your undergraduate degree, if you're applying for postgraduate study.

Submit your application, supporting documents and subject choices online.

Once you have submitted your application form, you should not assume you have
been accepted until you receive an official letter of acceptance from the destination
University.

The choice of courses cannot always be guaranteed, although every effort will be
made to give students the courses they have chosen. If in advance courses are
cancelled or you do not meet the requirements, you will be contacted by your
department at Stockholm University. The University cannot be held responsible for
cancelled courses or students not being accepted onto courses due to classes being
full or students not meeting the academic requirements.

Prepare your entry visa (MVV) and/or residence permit application (VVR). If

applicable, please send us copies of your passport, antecedents’ certificate, housing

confirmation and a financial statement.
