Many departments have bilateral exchange agreements with different universities. If there isn’t a departmental agreement with the university or the country that you would like to study in, you can apply for one of Stockholm University’s central agreements, or you can decide to study abroad as a “free mover”.

Application form for exchange studies HT22 (pdf) (771 Kb)
The following documents need to be enclosed with the application: 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); 2. A transcript of records (from Ladok).
If you are interested in participating in one of our exchange programmes, you can contact studyabroad@english.su.se for further information.
Stockholm University central exchange agreements
Stockholm University also has exchange agreements with a number of universities and countries outside of Europe, such as Australia, Canada, New Zeeland and the USA. 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.
