How to apply as an exchange student

The Department of Child and Youth Studies has Erasmus agreements with a number of universities in Europe. If your home university has an agreement with our department you can be nominated to come as an exchange student.

Our partner universities and exchange agreements

If you are an exchange student via an exchange agreement that is owned by another department at Stockholm University or via a university wide exchange agreement or network you can usually still choose to study courses at the Department of Child and Youth Studies.

Courses outside your host department

If you choose courses outside of your host department, the international coordinator at your host department at Stockholm University will check if the courses are available. Placements for courses offered by other departments cannot be guaranteed.

Your course choice needs to be approved by your home university and by the host department at Stockholm University. Your host department may also have some restrictions regarding your course choice, for instance the host department may ask you to choose at least one of their courses. Please check this with your host department.

Applying through a university-wide agreement or network

If you apply through a central (university-wide) agreement or network including CIVIS, the international coordinator at the Stockholm University International Office will let the departmental international coordinator(s) know which courses you would intend to study.

Your course choice needs to be approved by your home university and by the International Office at Stockholm University. There may also be some restrictions regarding your course choice. Please check this with the International Office at Stockholm University.

If you are unsure which department the Exchange Agreement belongs to, please use the Exchange agreement database to check, or email the international coordinator who can check for you.

Please keep in mind that it is important to check that the courses you choose are possible to combine in terms of schedule and that you meet the admission requirements. If you have questions about this please contact your international coordinator.

The Department of Child and Youth Studies is always interested to explore new possibilities for student exchange.

Before signing a new exchange agreement, it is important to investigate in detail that there are possibilities for an active and mutual exchange between the universities.
For that reason we would like a potential partner university to fill in a form with facts regarding semester dates, courses and service offered for incoming students etc. Please contact the international coordinator to request this form.

The international coordinator will also send you a fact sheet with corresponding information about what the Department of Child and Youth Studies can offer.
