Study abroad
On these pages you as a student at the Department of Archaeology and Classical Studies can learn about different ways of studying abroad. Find out about exchange studies, traineeships and other possibilities to go international as a student.
A student exchange means that two universities exchange students between them, thus there are no additional student fees. You are able to apply for either one or two semesters, and there is a possibility to receive a scholarship if you do your exchange within the programmes Erasmus+, Nordplus or north2north.
Stockholm University offers two different exchange and network possibilities: departmental and central/university-wide. Please note that the application processes differ between the two.
Central (university-wide) agreements and networks.
Calls for exchange through the institutions' agreements and networks
Call for departmental agreements for exchange studies during the spring semester 2025 is open from 15 August – 15 September 2024. How to submit your application can be found under Application instructions and the agreement portal for institutional agreements Erasmus+.

Nordplus
Nordplus is the Nordic Council of Ministers' framework programme for mobility in education in the Nordic Region.
Nordplus/Nordlys is aimed at Nordic students and you must be a citizen or have a permanent residence permit in one of the Nordic countries. As a student in a Nordplus exchange, you can be away between 1 week up to 12 months.
Short-term exchange
Do you want to study abroad without having to spend a whole semester away? In that case a summer course, a traineeship or field studies could be a good option.
To study abroad during a period of time is often very rewarding, from an academic as well as a personal perspective. However, for some students it can be difficult to be away for a whole semester. The European University Alliance Civis offers shorter 3-6 ECTS courses consisting of two parts, a virtual part and a physical five-day meeting. Here you find information about our short-term exchange possibilities. More information about requirements, application procedures and deadlines is detailed in each call for application.
