Welcome Activities
Stockholm University organises a series of welcome activities at the beginning of each semester. The activities are designed to assist you as a new student and introduce you to university life in Stockholm and Sweden. Attendance to these events is optional, but we highly recommend attending in order for you to familiarize yourself with the campus and the support available for students, as well as to make friends!
Join our welcome activities for the spring semester 2025!
Arrival Service
The Arrival Service is the first event of the Welcome Activities and is open to all new international and exchange students at Stockholm University. Student ambassadors and university staff will welcome you and help you settle into your new life in Stockholm and Sweden.
Welcome Fair and social activities
At the fair, you can meet and interact with representatives of the different organisations at the university such as IT services, the library, the Student Union, and many more. The social activities include a speed friending and sports activities with Stockholm Students' Sports Association (SSIF).
The Welcome Fair and social activities for spring semester 2025 will be held on the 23rd of January.
