Insurance

It is important to arrange for travel insurance and health insurance before leaving your home country. Home insurance is possible to get once you are in Sweden. We highly recommend you to be properly insured during your stay in Sweden and on your travel here. Please note that all insurances are at the expense of the student.

Part-time jobs

The chance of finding a part-time job is extremely small. Most jobs require good knowledge of Swedish and the University does not offer any jobs for students. The average student needs more than 8000 SEK (900 EURO) per month just to live on a basic standard. Take into account that expenses are higher at the beginning of your stay. Sweden is an expensive country to live in.
