Support for students
On this page, you can read more about student support and university life, to help you get the most out of your studies at SLU.
Support with your studies
We have study and career councellors to guide you through your time at university. If you have a disability that affects your work, you can apply for study support for students with disabilities.
The library offers course literature, study spaces, help with literature searches and academic writing, and much more. You can access support both via webpages and personalised service.
Exchange studies and SLU Career
Exchange studies involve spending one or two semesters at one of SLU’s international partner universities, giving you the chance to take similar courses in a completely different environment. SLU has exchange agreements with many universities around the world.
As an SLU student, you will always have access to careers advice and support during your time at the university. Guidance and inspiration are available to help you prepare as you make the jump from student life to employment.
