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!

Gustav Amberg
Vice-Chancellor

Welcome to SöderS!

We are your student union - your umbrella when it rains and your shelter in the storm. We take care of your rights, guide you when it gets tough and provide you with high-quality education and a vibrant campus.

At SöderS – Södertörn University’s student union – we do everything we can to ensure that your first semester starts in the best way possible. During the Head Start Week, you can experience and familiarise yourself with the university before everyone else arrives. There will be guided tours, and the opportunity to buy course literature and find your favourite seat in SöderS Pub.

Semester Start Week is when we really get started. During this week, you will receive a more formal welcome from the university’s vice-chancellor, have the opportunity to meet our student associations, get to know our partners, experience the entire Campus Flemingsberg and, of course, become a member of the student union and pick from our goodie bag buffet.

During the Start-up Week, you can really make a mark on your study time by trying new things and maybe finding new interests. Do you want to broadcast radio, be a student representative, try bartending or get involved in sustainability issues with other students? Your student life and your future are in your hands.

On our website, soders.nu External link., you can easily fix your union membership, find our student associations and contact the student union’s board and staff. You’ll find us in the F-building on level 5 of Södertörn University.

Welcome to SöderS and Södertörn University!

Liam Andersson, Vice President
