Additional information: Student safety is our top priority. Therefore, even at very short notice, the Pandemic may cause actions that will affect university education. We are closely monitoring the guidelines of the Swedish Authorities and need to proceed accordingly. All incoming exchange students should be prepared for changing guidelines in travel, accommodation and other practicalities.

There is a risk of restrictions being changed fast and all teaching might have to be given online instead of on campus. There might also suddenly be new quarantine regulations.

In case you are not able to arrive in Sweden we will unfortunately not be able to offer you online teaching as an exception. We can only offer you the same way of teaching that we offer our regular students.
