Studies abroad

Central Stockholm in the sun

 

Erasmus

Are you planning to come to Stockholm University on the Erasmus exchange programme and need compensatory support for disabilities? In that case your coordinator at your home university must contact us well before your arrival, so as to ensure that the support may be arranged. 

Universities and colleges within the EU and EEA can apply for extra funding for a disabled student to cover associated costs on an Erasmus placement. It is always the home university that applies for this on their outgoing student´s behalf, not the individual student.

The institution’s Erasmus co-ordinator is responsible for ensuring that all the necessary paperwork is completed and that arrangements to meet the needs of the student are made at the host institution before the start of the academic year in which the exchange is scheduled to take place.

With regard to support and service outside the study situation – such as housing and assistance – it is the host university's responsibility to forward information regarding relevant contacts in the country concerned.

Contact the coordinator and the International Office, Stockholm University, for further information.

Independent student, also called Free movers

As an independent student taking free-standing courses, or as degree student, you organize your studies in Sweden independently. In this case the coordinator for students with disabilities does not need to have any contact with your previous university. You should contact the coordinators yourself to let us know that you are going to study at Stockholm University.

We ask that you contact the coordinators well before your arrival and also send in your certificate stating your disability so that we can schedule a meeting at the start of your studies.
