Study abroad

As a student at Stockholm University you have various options if you wish to study abroad for one or two terms.

Our department, and many others, have bilateral exchange agreements with different universities. If there is no departmental agreement with the university or the country that you would like to study in, you can look into one of Stockholm University’s central agreements, or you can find out about studying abroad as a 'free mover'.

 

Our exchange agreements

The Department of English has bilateral exchange agreements with a number of universities, mainly through the Erasmus+ programme. To be eligible, you need to have completed one year’s studies (60 credits) at a Swedish university or university college and of those at least 30 credits have to be in English studies with us.

The deadline for applications for our bilateral agreements is in March, if you wish to go abroad in the autumn term, and in October, for the spring term. Exact dates will be specified ahead of each term.

Studies abroad spring 2025

Each term we have an information session for students interested in one of our bilateral agreements. The information is published on Athena for students currently taking English 1 and 2. If you are not a student on those courses but want to attend, contact us at studyabroad@english.su.se.

The information session during the autumn term will take place on Tuesday 10 September 2024, between 15.00 and 15.30, in room F397. The application deadline for studies abroad in the spring term 2025 is 15 September. Interviews are to be held on 18 September.

Applications for the spring term 2025 will be done online.

Link to online application

As well as filling in the online form, applications should include:

1. A letter presenting yourself and motivating why you would like to study abroad (approximately 500-600 words). The letter should be in English (PDF format) and uploaded as part of the online application.

2. A transcript of records (from Ladok and also to be uploaded as part of the online application).

 

Stockholm University exchange agreement

Stockholm University also has exchange agreements with a number of universities and countries. Information about these programmes and how you apply is available on the Stockholm University central website.

Free mover

You can also decide to study abroad on your own as a ‘free mover’, that is, not through one of the University’s exchange programmes. As a ‘free mover’ you decide where you want to study and for how long, but you need to arrange it yourself, and you will be liable to potential fees in the country in question.
