Stockholm university

Welcome Activities

These activities are designed to assist you as a new student and introduce you to university life in Stockholm and Sweden. Attendance is optional, but we highly recommend attending in order for you to familiarise yourself with campus and the support available for students, as well as to make friends! Join our welcome activities for spring semester 2026!

 

Arrival Service

The Arrival Service is the first of our welcome activities, where we receive new international students at Arlanda Airport and on Campus Frescati. There are shuttle buses going from Arlanda to Frescati every hour during the time we are there. Once on campus, you can receive the one-time code needed to activate your university account, become a member of the student union, pick up your housing key if you have received housing through the university, enjoy some fika, and more. You are very welcome to attend Arrival Service on campus even if you arrive in Stockholm on a different day!

The Arrival Service for spring semester 2026 takes place on the 18th of January 2026.

Read testimonies from new students of the Arrival Service for autumn semester 2025.

 

Welcome Fair and social activities

At the fair, you can meet and interact with representatives of the different bodies of the university such as IT services, the library, the student unions, and many more. The activities include speed friending, sports activities, guided tours, Swedish fika, competitions and more.

The Welcome Fair and social activities for the spring semester 2026 takes place on the 23rd of January 12 - 4 pm.
