Incoming exchange students

Are you a student in another country thinking about coming to Sweden?

Whether you come here on your own (free-mover) or as an exchange student, we are pleased to welcome you. All the advanced level courses at the Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies are given in English.

Together with the International Office at Stockholm University we will provide assistance with formalities as well as practical matters. And you will not feel alone - Stockholm University have students from many countries all over the world.

 

To study one or two semesters abroad is a wonderful opportunity to experience a new academic environment and way of life as an integral part of your degree.

Stockholm University participates in several exchange programs such as Erasmus and Nordplus, has exchange agreements with around 400 universities throughout the world and offer over 200 courses in English to exchange students. If you are interested in becoming an exchange student you should contact a university in your own country for information.

As an exchange student you may study one or two semesters at a foreign institution and receive a grant. A learning agreement containing your planned courses at the foreign institution is completed before you arrive, and the credits for the listed courses will be accepted by The Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies.

These exchange agreements are either made between institutions Erasmus+ or between universities (Central agreement), including North2North or Nordlys.

Departmental agreements with universitites in Asia

A departmental agreement is limited to a subject area, which you must study at the subject related department in order to apply. Such agreements in Europe are called Erasmus+ and outside Europe bilateral agreements.

Currently, the department has three bilateral agreements with Sogang University in South Korea, Hang Seng University of Hong Kong in Hong Kong and Osaka University in Japan.

Unfortunately, there are currently no departmental agreements in the Middle East or North Africa.

Please contact the International Coordinator at your home university and at The Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies for more information.
