New student

When you have been accepted to a course or programme at the Department of Psychology, there are a few things you need to do before getting on with your studies. First some practical information to help you on your way. Further down there is an extensive list of useful links to more information on the university's general website.

Activate your university account

One of the first things you should do is to activate your University account to get access to all our IT services.

At the same time you should order a University card, which is used as your library card and for printing on the university printing system, Printomat.

Register on your course or programme

It is important that you register on all the courses you will be taking each semester, or you might loose your position. You should get an e-mail with information on how and when this is done. If you have not got such an e-mail 10-14 days before the start of the semester, you should contact the Student administration office.

In most cases you will register online in the student information system Ladok for students. Login with your University account. If there is a problem and you cannot register, please contact the Student administration office as soon as possible by e-mail studyadmin@psychology.su.se

Athena – our learning platform

Studentgrupp med datorer

Each course at the Department of Psychology has an Athena site and you become a member just by registering on the course. All course specific information is communicated within Athena. You will find the course syllabus, schedule, handouts and various learning activities in Athena, and you can send messages to your teachers and fellow students. You can also find your schedule on schema.su.se

Course literature

Front page: Psychology Schacter et al 2019

A list of compulsory reading should be available in the curriculum of each course two months before the course starts. You will find the curriculum ("kursanvisning") on each course site.

Find your Courses and programmes.

(You may have to switch to the Swedish version of your course site at this time.)

Traditionally Akademibokhandeln in Frescati accounts for the compulsory literature (books). In addition, there are always libraries, for example Stockholm University Library. The Student Union runs a second hand book shop, Campusbutiken, where you can sell and buy current course literature. Naturally you can also buy books over the Internet.
