The work and study environment are important issues at Stockholm University, not least for students. They cover places to study, modes of teaching, and even unwritten rules of behaviour, among many other issues.

On floor 3 a computer room is available which also has a scanner/printer for students. There is also a student kitchen (floor 3) with, for example, several microwave ovens, a kettle and a coffee machine.

Study and career counselling

Stockholm University provides special pedagogical support to students with documented long-term disabilities. On this page, you can read more about common support measures and how to apply for support.

Studying with a disability

It is very important that you apply for special pedagogical support as early as possible in order to receive a certificate describing the types of support recommended for you. After you received your certificat contact a study counsellor at your department. The study counsellor will then inform you what support you can get at the Department of Archaeology ans Classical Studies.
