Living in Sweden

When preparing for your studies at Uppsala University it is important that you consider the practical details of your time as an international student. This includes where you will live, how you will finance your studies and what you will do if you fall ill.

Housing

Formal exchange students are given priority for student housing given that they submit on time.

Insurance

It is important that you find out what coverage you will receive or need to organise privately.

Financing

All students must be able to cover their personal living expenses while in Sweden.
