Study abroad - Exchanges

The University of Gothenburg has a number of agreements with universities around the world. These partnerships allow students to participate in exchange programs, providing the opportunity to study abroad as part of their Swedish education. It is possible to apply for exchange studies during the third semester in our international programs in public or global health.

There are two levels of agreements at the University of Gothenburg.

University-wide agreements: These are established at a higher, central level and include multiple subject areas and faculties. There is a wide range of agreements available at this level, and it is up to the student to ensure that the courses of interest are offered at the partner institution before applying.
