Student Exchange Programme
Considering Stockholm as a study destination? If we have an agreement with your home university, you can apply for an exchange at SULaw for either one or two semesters, and get the opportunity to study law courses in English at advanced level, together with Swedish law students.
Nomination
In order to be admitted as an exchange student at SULaw, you must be officially nominated by one of our partner universities. Begin by checking that your home university is among our partners, using the link below. If they are, contact them directly to learn more about how you should proceed if you are interested in an exchange at SULaw. Please note that if your home university is not among our partners, you cannot study law at Stockholm University as an undergraduate. As a free mover, you can only apply for our Master's Programmes.
You can check if your home university is among our partners through the link below:
The deadline for nominations from our partner universities are:
- April 30 for the following autumn semester/whole academic year
- September 30 for the following spring semester
Application
After receiving the official nomination from your home university, we will contact you by e-mail with further information regarding the application procedure. You will apply online and be required to provide a copy of your most recent official transcript of records in English, not in your mother tongue.
You will receive your Letter of Acceptance by e-mail. If you are student from a university outside the European Union and need a hard copy of your Letter of Acceptance for visa or residency purposes, we can provide you with one. Please visit the website of the Swedish Migration Agency in order to find out rules regarding visas and residence permits.
The deadline for applications from students are:
- May 10 for the following autumn semester/full academic year
- October 10 for the following spring semester
Courses
The law course offered to exchange students, whether in English or in Swedish, are undergraduate courses at advanced level. The courses are electives on year 4 of our Swedish law programme, meaning that exchange students will attend classes together with Swedish students.
All our law courses are worth 15 ECTS and require full time studies. Exchange students will therefore take two courses per semester. They will study one course at a time, take their exam and then move on to the next course.
Course Selection
You will be requested to select your courses after your Letter of Acceptance has been issued. You are expected to choose courses that have been pre-approved by your home university. It is possible to change courses during the academic year but only on condition that there are places left. The course selection will be made before each semester regardless of the duration of the exchange. Student staying for two semesters will therefore make two separate course selections, one for the fall (in June) and one for the spring (in November).
For details about our course offer in law for the ongoing as well as for the next academic year, see the following page:
Housing
The application for student housing is entirely administrated by Stockholm University’s Housing Office. They will contact you with relevant information after you have received your Letter of Acceptance.
