Exchange studies in one of the Nordic countries
If you want to conduct a study exchange in the Nordic region, begin by contacting your home department at Stockholm University to see if your chosen host university is already part of an existing Nordplus departmental exchange network.
If there is no exchange agreement at your department, or if you want to study a subject outside your main field of study, you are welcome to apply for an exchange through the central Nordlys Erasmus+ network.
A network of universities available for all students
All students at Stockholm University, regardless of subject area, can apply for exchange studies within the Nordlys Erasmus+ network. The programme is aimed at students at bachelor’s or master’s level.
You can read more information about the Nordlys network on the page below:

Where can I go?
Students can apply to all universities within the Nordlys network. In the agreement portal, you will find all Nordlys agreements by choosing “Erasmus Nordlys Student” under the drop-down menu “Program”.
