You can apply for targeted study support if you have a medically documented long-term disability. You apply for support in the digital system Nais. If your application is approved you will receive a Nais certificate, which you will need to send to your course administrator as soon as possible, preferably at the beginning of the term/course.

For students with a Nais certicate recommending extended time, the Department of Economics offers 50 percent extra time at written exams and tests. At exams of five hours or longer, a break of 30 minutes, together with an invigilator, is included.

How to apply for support offered at Stockholm University

 

The Department of Economics is located on the Frescati campus, A House, floor 6 and 7.

By public transport

The Frescati campus is just north of central Stockholm and can be reached either by the underground (the stop is Universitetet on line 14 to Mörby Centrum), by bus (no. 50 from central Stockholm or no. 540 from north and north-western suburbs), by train (Roslagsbanan) or by car (E4/18, Norrtäljevägen northbound). From Arlanda Airport it is easiest to take the airport bus to the Central Station, a 30-minute ride, and then take the underground from there.

By car from the city centre

Take the E18 towards Norrtälje. About 2 km after the roundabout Roslagstull, you can see the light blue coloured buildings of the Södra huset, as soon as you go under the train bridge. Turn right after the petrol station, continue straight on towards the parking area.
