Information sessions for international students

Bild

Every new academic year, the university holds a number of information sessions online for new international students, to help you prepare for your studies and life in Sweden. All who register for an information session will be able to participate live, and will receive a recording of the event, so no need to worry if you're not available for all the sessions that you'd like to attend - you can always watch them afterwards! We will also offer live Q&A sessions where you can ask questions to us in the student recruitment team.
