The Department of Education has its own exchange agreements that are subject-related. The agreements are established with universities and around Europe and the world that offer a range of courses and programs in education.

Exchange studies in bilateral agreements are free of charge, thanks to the agreement reached between our department and the host university, which means that you do not have to pay any tuition fees. During the studies, you receive study grants from CSN, but unlike exchange studies within the Nordlys, Erasmus and Nordplus programs, no scholarships are awarded.

The university also has comprehensive exchange agreements and networks. These agreements have no subject affiliation and are applied for in competition with students from other departments at the entire Stockholm University. More information about central agreements and networks.

The exchange places at the universities with which the department has an agreement can be applied for by registered students on courses and programs at the Department of Education. 
Within the framework of our exchange program, you as a student are offered exchange places in different parts of Europe within the Erasmus program as well as places via bilateral agreements with universities in other parts of the world.
