EXCHANGE STUDIES
Here’s some important information to help you navigate the options:
Where can you study?
> Nordic Countries (Erasmus/Nordlys):
You can usually choose any subject offered to international students. If a specific subject is listed in the search tool, you must follow that.
You can usually choose any subject offered to international students. If a specific subject is listed in the search tool, you must follow that.
> EU/EEA (Erasmus):
Agreements are always limited to the subject specified in the search tool.
> Outside Europe (bilateral agreements):
You can choose any subject offered to international students, unless a specific subject is listed in the search tool. In that case, you must follow that subject.
How to use the search tool
> Searching by subject area will only show options within that specific subject, mostly within the EU/EEA (except Nordic Countries).
> To find universities outside the EU/EEA or a Norden country, select a specific country under "Country."
Before you apply
Make sure that:
> The university offers courses in the subject you need to study
> These courses are available during the semester you plan to go on exchange.
Level of study
The search tool will also indicate the level of study the exchange applies to:
> Bachelor = undergraduate level
> Master = graduate level
If you want to combine courses from both levels, check in advance if this is allowed. It is not always possible.
Language of instruction
> If the language is English, at least 30 ECTS credits must be offered in English within your subject area. You should still review the course list carefully.
> If it says English/another language, be extra careful to check which courses are actually available in English.
Semester dates
Semester dates may differ from Sweden. Make sure they fit your study plan and contact your programme coordinator if needed.
Tuition fees
All exchange programs are tuition-free, with the exception of:
> Westminster University (UK)
> University of Pennsylvania (USA)
where a reduced tuition fee applies.
