International Faculty and Staff Services

Support for internationals is shared between the departments and the International Faculty and Staff Services. 

Your host department is your first hand contact at Uppsala University. They will assist you with many of the practical arrangements before and upon arrival in Uppsala or Gotland.

The International Faculty and Staff Services provide complementary and in-depth support and information to international researchers, lecturers, doctoral students and administrative staff at Uppsala University on issues such as:

• Working conditions
• Residence and work permits
• Civic registration
• Travelling to Uppsala and Gotland/Visby
• Bank accounts
• Taxes
• Pensions
• Social security
• Swedish language courses
• Child care and schools

We also organize a number of activities, including introduction seminars, information meetings, Swedish courses, social activities, guided tours and the Vice-Chancellor’s reception.

If you need in-depth information about certain issues or about life in Sweden in general, you are welcome to contact us.
