In the course room, you will find additional information and course materials, choose your group, submit assignments, and more. We also recommend downloading the app and enabling notifications.

Canvas

If you have a Nais certificate recommending extended writing time for examinations, the Department of Economics offers you 50 percent extra writing time. For exams that are five hours or longer, a 30-minute break in the examination room is included, with an invigilator present.

How to apply for support offered at Stockholm University

To ensure that you receive the support you are requesting

  • Register for the exam in Ladok well in advance and indicate there which support you wish to use.
  • For support beyond in-hall examinations, such as note-taking support, email your valid Nais certificate to studentstod@ne.su.se. Please state the course code and semester.

The Department of Economics is located on the Frescati campus, Södra huset A, floor 6 and 7.

By public transport

The Frescati campus is just north of central Stockholm and can be reached either by the underground (the stop is Universitetet to Mörby Centrum), by bus, by train (Roslagsbanan) or by car (E4/18, Norrtäljevägen northbound). From Arlanda Airport it is easiest to take the bus or train to the Central Station, and then the underground from there.

By car from the city centre

Take the E18 towards Norrtälje. About 2 km after the roundabout Roslagstull, you can see the light blue coloured buildings of the Södra huset, as soon as you go under the train bridge. Turn right after the petrol station, continue straight on towards the parking area.

Here you can find contact details to the course administration at the department. When contacting us, please include your personal details and specify which course your inquiry concerns.
