Housing for international students
Stockholm University rents and manages furnished rooms and apartments which are owned by other landlords in Stockholm. These are available to international students at Stockholm University.
Please note however that exchange students from partner universities and non-European master students that have received a specific scholarship via the Stockholm University Scholarship Scheme are prioritized.
Apply for accommodation exchange students
All admitted exchange students will receive information via email on how to apply for accommodation through the Housing Office. Please read more about the process and who is eligible.
Apply for accommodation other international students
Due to changes in government regulations, Stockholm University may only be permitted to rent accommodation to exchange students on university agreements and guest researchers after 2021-12-31. We do not know for certain what additional student groups we will be permitted to rent to from next year, which means that we may not be able to rent accommodation to other international students at Stockholm University from the spring semester 20222 and onwards. This page will be updated when we have more information about this.
All international students at Stockholm University are eligible to apply for accommodation. Please read more about the process below.
