Before you begin your application you need to have been nominated by your home institution. 

Your home university can advise you when it is time to apply to go on an exchange and the process involved.

Once you have been selected and nominated by your home university to come on an exchange, you will receive a link to the online application for nominated exchange students  to formally apply for exchange studies. 

Application periods for nominated students:

Autumn semester: April 1 - April 15
Spring semester: October 1 - October 15

Applications are done online in our online application system. Exchange students do not apply through the University Admissions in Sweden website.

Nominated students will receive an email containing information and instructions on how to complete the online application prior to the application period opening.

We require you to include the following supporting documents in your online application:

• Official academic transcript of records (in English) including the courses you are currently taking
• Passport copy (a copy of the page in your passport with your personal data and photograph. For EU citizens a copy of a valid national ID card is also accepted)
• CV (one page is sufficient)
• Statement of Purpose (in Swedish if you want to study courses offered in Swedish, otherwise in English. Please put the focus on the courses/subject area that you wish to take and how they will benefit you in your future. One page is sufficient)
• Bachelor degree and transcripts, if you are applying to Master-level courses
