Study abroad

Being able to study for one or two semesters abroad is a fantastic opportunity to experience a new academic environment and increase your understanding for other countries' cultures, language and society. You can study abroad either through the university's central agreements, MISU's departmental agreement or as a so-called Free Mover.

Exchange studies

MISU has ERASMUS+ agreements with several universities in Germany, Czech Republic, Austria and Belgium.

If you are interested in going on an Erasmus exchange to any of these universities, please contact the Study Counselor.

Students at Stockholm University can apply for an Erasmus fellowship to become a trainee at a company or an organisation in one of the countries that are part of the Erasmus programme.

Erasmus+ traineeship abroad

Within the EU and EES, students should order a European Health Insurance Card from Försäkringskassan and primarily use that for health services.  It is free and valid for 3 years. This gives the student the right to necessary healthcare at the same rate as the country's own inhabitants.

Student OUT insurance

Stockholm University offers a group insurance, Student OUT, for all exchange students who study or have traineeships abroad for 1 or 2 semesters. It is managed by Kammarkollegiet and does not cost anything for the student. The student needs to be registered for studying abroad under a valid agreement in LADOK.

You can also arrange for studying abroad unrelated to Stockholm University, as a so-called Free Mover. In that case you organise your studies yourself without support or financial assistance from Stockholm University.
