From applying to moving in

Please note that we only guarantee housing for individual fee-paying Master’s students and some non-European exchange students who apply before the deadline. We do not offer housing for couples or families. Dates are available in the accommodation calendar above.

We use email to send you updates about housing, so please make sure we have the correct address and check your spam folder regularly.

  1. The first step of the application process is different for Master’s students and exchange students:
    Master’s students: You will receive a link to a housing form with your acceptance letter from Södertörn University. Please complete this form. We will then email application instructions to you. After you start the application process, we will email further instructions. Please contact us if you do not receive an email from us.
    Exchange students: You apply for accommodation after your home university has nominated you for studies at Södertörn University. Once you have finished your study application you will receive an email from our Mobility Online system with instructions about how to apply for housing. Start the housing application process using exactly the same name and email address as your study application. You will receive another email with further instructions once you have sent in your information. Please contact us if you do not receive an email.

    The following steps are the same for all international students.
  2. Once you have submitted your application, you will receive no more information until after the application deadline.
  3. A few weeks after the application deadline, you will receive your accommodation offer.
  4. A few days after you accept the offer, we will email you an invoice for the partial payment. The payment deadline is stated on your invoice. Make sure we receive your payment on time. You need the information on the invoice to make the payment correctly. The partial payment for your accommodation is equivalent to one month’s rent and is non-refundable. Student accommodation is rented per semester. More information about payment.
  5. You will receive the second, and final, invoice shortly before your arrival day(s). This is the remaining rent for the whole semester; the amount will depend on the housing you have been allocated and is the total sum for your housing per semester, minus the partial payment. The payment deadline is stated on your invoice.
  6. Before the arrival day(s), we will send general information and information about how and where to collect your key. We recommend that you collect your key during the arrival days.
  7. Please note the opening hours for key collection and inform us if you cannot collect your key during the arrival days.
  8. When you move into your room, please make sure nothing is broken and go through the kitchen inventory to check that nothing is missing. If anything is broken or missing, you must report this within 48 hours. If you do not do this, you will be charged for repairs or replacements when you move out.

Student accommodation is rented per semester. You pay the first month’s rent as a holding deposit and then the remainder must be paid before you move in. An invoice for first month’s rent will be sent when you have been allocated a room. Please use the information on the invoice when you pay, so always include the invoice number (invoice no/fakturanummer/fakturanr) as your reference (it is the number at the top of the invoice).

  • Make sure you pay the full amount in Swedish kronor (SEK), including any bank fees for international transfers.
  • Södertörn University will charge you SEK 60 for each reminder we have to send, for example if payment is late, the amount is incorrect, or the payment cannot be identified.
  • Make your payment in Swedish kronor (SEK)
  • Please state your name if the payment does not come from your bank account.
