Welcome to Södertörn University!

Your studies will be starting soon, and I hope you will really benefit from them. As Södertörn University’s vice-chancellor, I believe that higher education creates many opportunities and can offer new friends and new perspectives. Your time as a student will help shape your courses and your university. One important element of my position as vice-chancellor is ensuring that we make space for your enthusiasm and that it is put to good use.

I’m looking forward to meeting you and your fellow students in various contexts over the next few years. Our campus is in an exciting phase of development, and has a library that can help with your studies – it is also a natural meeting place for many students.

If you have questions about the start of the semester, you can find lots of information at our page for incoming students. You can also read about the activities that planned for the first few weeks and the support that the university offers its students. News from the university is published at sh.se/english/sodertorn-university/student.

You must register on your course or programme, otherwise you will lose your place. Important information about this will be emailed to you in the next two weeks, and more information is available at our page for incoming students.

Welcome to Södertörn University and good luck with your studies!

Ylva Fältholm
Vice-Chancellor

Welcome to SöderS!

We are SöderS - your students’ union, your thriving campus, your space for student politics and, above all, your student organising body. We are here to safeguard your studies, your student life and your rights.

At SöderS, we do everything we can to ensure that your first semester here at Södertörn University get off to the best possible start. So, even before your studies start, we are holding a “Smygstartsvecka” – a week to give you a head start on your studies. This will give you the chance to get to know the campus, find new favourite places and meet both new and old students. There will be guided tours, chances to buy course literature and hang out in our own student pub - SöderS Pub - which is open every Wednesday and Friday during the academic year!

The SÖFRE student association is organising the annual “Inspark” – welcome activities that start on 14 August and continue for two weeks. Register with sofre.se External link, opens in new window. (swedish page) now so you don’t miss out!

The semester starts on 1 September and we begin with a formal welcome from the university’s vice-chancellor and the chair of the students’ union. You will have the chance to meet our student associations and find out about their activities, get to know our partners, discover all of Campus Flemingsberg, and – of course – join the students’ union!

You can also join via our website, soders.nu External link, opens in new window., which also has information about our student associations and contact details to the students’ union’s board and staff. It also has a calendar full of great events and activities to look forward to during your time at Södertörn University. On campus, we are located on level 5 of the F Building – turn right after you exit the escalators to campus from Flemingsberg station.

We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to SöderS and Södertörn University.

See you on campus!
