Q: My university does not have an agreement with the Faculty of Law. Can I study law at Stockholm University as a free mover?

A: After receiving the nomination from your home university the international coordinator at the Faculty of Law will send you a letter of acceptance together with a course catalogue and a course selection form.

To apply for accommodation you will have to fill in a registration form and send it by e-mail to the International Office at Stockholm University. Deadline is May 15 for students who are coming for the whole academic year or for the autumn term. Deadline for students who plan to arrive for the spring term is October 15th. You are also supposed to submit the course selection form as soon as possible to the international coordinator.
