International Office
The International Office provides support to students and staff of Stockholm University in matters related to internationalisation.
There are many opportunities for students and teachers to give their education an international dimension, for example through development projects with higher education institutions in other countries and shorter or longer stays abroad to teach, study or train.
The International Office works with student exchange, internships, staff mobility and international student recruitment. This includes work on university-wide international initiatives, coordination of the Erasmus+ programme, handling student exchanges within university-wide agreements and networks, and coordination of the university's work on international student recruitment.
The International Office also provides support to the departments' work on internationalisation, as well as to the university management in certain international matters. The work is organised into three teams, which are listed below.
Head of the International Office: Åsa Petri
Coordination and project support
This team coordinates the support the International Office provides to the departments, for example planning meetings and various activities to support the development of internationalization within their educational activities.
You can contact this team if you are interested in applying for project support within the Erasmus+ or Nordplus programs. This team also coordinates SU's membership in several international associations and coordinates incoming foreign visits at a central level.
Student mobility
This team coordinates and develops university-wide (central) agreements with a focus on student mobility. The team supports the departments in matters of student mobility and handles mobility within central agreements and networks. Furthermore, this team is responsible for Erasmus+ scholarships for studies and internships. The Exchange Coordinators Network is coordinated by this team.
International student recruitment
The International Student Recruitment (ISR) team is responsible for digital and physical recruitment activities and communication with international student applicants. The team also works with migration issues, statistics and student surveys. The team also works with hosting international students, such as coordinating welcome activities and sending out newsletters with tips on activities.
Special projects
The International Office has been commissioned by the university management to develop and manage and digital system to support internationalisation work across the university. Through the Digitalisation of International Mobility (DIM) project, Mobility Online will be implemented at Stockholm University starting in autumn 2024 (this work is ongoing).
The International Office has entered into an agreement with Sida regarding national coordination of the program Minor Field Studies (MFS).
Property management, housing for guest researchers, and conference services
The Housing Office is responsible for providing housing for international students and researchers. They strive to offer as many applicants as possible good-quality accommodation in attractive areas and at reasonable prices.
