Who can apply?

Our assignment is to provide accommodation to the following groups of international students at Uppsala University:

  • Tuition Fee Paying Master- and Bachelor- Students (Non EU/EES)
  • Formal Exchange Students
  • Some groups of Scholarship Holders

Fee-paying students is the only category that is guaranteed a housing offer through our office and they will be refered to our services when their tuition fee has been paid to the University.

Formal exchange students are nominated for our services through their receiving department or the Unit for international mobility at Uppsala University. Exchange Students are offered accommodation subject to the quota of rooms allocated to their department. We recommend you to contact your receiving department to find out if they can nominate exchange students for our services.

All formal exchange students are not guaranteed housing through our office. Exchange students at departments that hasn’t been allocated any of our rooms can only be offered a housing contract if we still have available rooms after processing the applications from all students within our assignment.

…you are still welcome to apply for a Student Accommodation Vacancy and we will be happy to help you, depending on room availability after processing the applications from students within our assignment.
