There are many different study abroad opportunities. If you receive study support for students with disabilities at SLU, you can most likely receive support if you study abroad.

The type of study support may depend on what the institution abroad can offer. Contact the university abroad in advance to find out how their support works.

  • Contact your coordinator at SLU if you need a certificate in English containing the recommended support for when you contact the university abroad.
  • Students with disabilities who go abroad and study as part of the Erasmus agreement can apply for additional grants to cover the costs for specific needs. This may apply to specialist transport, adapted accommodation, assistance, medical monitoring or adapted teaching materials. Contact mobility@slu.se for information.
