International applications now open for the autumn semester of 2021
Södertörn University’s welcoming, accessible and multicultural environment provides the ideal base for your studies in Sweden. We have a thriving campus in Flemingsberg, southern Stockholm, where inspired, determined and creative critical thinkers come together to think innovatively and to contribute to multidisciplinary, multicultural and liberal education.

The international application round for programmes and courses that start in the autumn of 2021 opens on 16 October 2020 and closes on 15 January 2021. International applicants, particularly those from non-EU/EEA countries, are strongly encouraged to apply in this round. We welcome applications from all over the world and, in 2020, we received applications from prospective students in more than 110 countries.
We are offering fourteen international Master’s programmes in the 2021/2022 academic year. They are listed on our programmes and courses webpage. If you would like to apply for one of our international programmes, please use the three easy steps described below:
