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!
