Student exchange programmes

An exchange student is a student from a university abroad, coming to study at University of Gothenburg for a maximum of one academic year.

Exchange students will be admitted to courses at the Sahlgrenska Academy under the auspices of a formal exchange agreement between the student's home institution and the academy or some other negotiated exchange scheme. The selection of visiting students is at the home university's discretion.

The Sahlgrenska Academy participates in a number of cooperative agreements with institutes of higher education in different parts of the world. These agreements allow for student exchange in both directions.

Exchange agreements

Most study programmes have signed exchange agreements within the framework of:

• Nordplus (the Nordic countries)
• Socrates/Erasmus (the countries within EU)
• Linnaeus-Palme programme (developing countries, defined by the OECD)
• Bilateral agreements

Agreements

Each undergraduate programme at the Sahlgrenska Academy has their own agreements.

Contact the programme coordinators at the Sahlgrenska Academy for exchange possibilities.
