You can apply for targeted study support if you have a medically documented long-term disability. A disability is considered long-term if it has been ongoing for at least 6 months and is expected to last. The support is based on your individual needs and the aim is to facilitate your studies. The adjustments should be reasonable with regard to the disability, course requirements, and intended learning outcomes. How you apply for targeted study support differs depending on whether you are attending Stockholm university as a Swedish citizen, as an exchange student or as an international student organizing your studies in Sweden independently.

Athena is the platform used for courses at this department (and may other departments at the university). Each course will have its own Athena page and you gain access to the page once you are registered for the course. It can take up to 24 hours from registering in Ladok until you gain access to the Athena page. All course communication takes place in Athena. You will find up-to-date course information, course materials, and course assignment information in Athena. 

To gain access to the course page, you must have an active university account and be registered for the course in Ladok. If you have an active student account and have checked that you are registered for the course in Ladok, but don’t find the course page in Athena, do contact the course administrator.

If you are registered for a single course (not an entire programme), you can exercise what is called 'early withdrawal' during the first 3 weeks the course is offered. If you decide to withdraw from your studies early, it is possible to apply and be admitted to the same course again through www.universityadmissions.se. Early withdrawal is not possible if you have already completed any exams or assignments as part of the course.

You can enter the early withdrawal in your student record in Ladok for students .

If you do not withdraw from a course within the first three weeks, you can only be re-registered for the course if there is space.

If there is space in a programme or single course, we will contact you.
Generally, we don’t contact applicants off the waiting list until after registration is complete.
For single courses, this would mean after August 22nd.

All matters concerning tuition fees and invoices are handled by the central university administration. The department does not issue invoices nor handles payments.

If you have questions about the tuition fees, email: tuitionfees@su.se

International students may apply for Swedish language training on condition that you are admitted to studies at Stockholm University through an exchange programme or an equivalent agreement (scholarship, doctoral candidate, visiting reseacher).
