Study abroad as an exchange student
Last changed: 05 June 2023
As a student at SLU, there are many different exchange programmes you can apply for if you would like to study abroad.
Scandinavia
SLU has many partner universities around Scandinavia, gathered in a network called NOVA, the Nordic Forestry, Veterinary and Agricultural University Network.
The NOVA network offers you the chance to deeper studies in a specific area which might not be given at SLU, but at our Nordic partners. You can apply for everything between a few weeks intensive course to a whole year abroad.
If you go abroad as an exchange student, you can apply for the Nordplus scholarship which give you both a travel grant and a scholarship based on how many months you are away.

Europe
As a student at SLU, you have the possibility to apply for an Erasmus scholarship to study abroad at another European University for 3 to 12 months. Where you can go depends on what you're studying and which universities SLU has an agreement with.
You can also study abroad within the network ELLS, Euroleague for Life Sciences, which is a cooperation between some of the best universities in Europe within SLU's areas. The network offers not only exchange seats, it also has summer courses and complete Master's programme.
