and linnaeus-Palme <strong>student</strong>s) who are<br />
nominated by their home universities to<br />
study under an official exchange agreement<br />

preceding this part.<br />
As a formal exchange <strong>student</strong> you may<br />
study at <strong>Uppsala</strong> University for one or two<br />

at <strong>Uppsala</strong> University.<br />

<strong>student</strong> at <strong>Uppsala</strong> University your home<br />
university must have a valid exchange<br />
agreement with <strong>Uppsala</strong> University. A<br />
list of current <strong>student</strong> exchange partner<br />

www.uu.se/exchange. Here you can check<br />
if your home university has an exchange<br />
agreement with <strong>Uppsala</strong> University. For further<br />
information about how to apply for an<br />
exchange, please contact the international<br />
coordinator in charge of exchange studies<br />
at your home university. Exchange <strong>student</strong>s<br />
who have sufficient knowledge of Swedish<br />

in Swedish without formal documentation<br />
of the Swedish language requirement.<br />
