Registration typically opens two weeks before and closes one week after the start of the course.

If you are conditionally admitted, you need to contact our Academic advisor before you can register.

Athena is Stockholm University’s digital learning platform. All our courses use Athena, and this is where you will find information during the course and can communicate with the teacher. When you register for a course, you automatically obtain access to the course page in Athena.
