Master’s Student/Doctoral Student/Guest Researcher
There is comprehensive information available from the International Office. I strongly reccommend reading it first.
Read the information from the International Office
The most important thing for a these students to remember is to fill in the “Housing Application Form” which you should have received from the University. Without this your options are if not limited then seriously complicated. If you haven’t got one of these forms then contact your “contact person” – that is the person who is arranging your studies at the institution, or international office in certain cases. It is usual that this category of students stays in the Lilla Sunnersta housing area.
Once you have completed this form it is then up to the University to arrange housing for you. Unfortunately you do not have guaranteed housing. While the University will try with all effort there are often cases where housing cannot be sorted out. Why is this? This is because of the aforementioned housing shortage. Housing is only guaranteed for exchange students, as it is part of their exchange agreement. Anything that is left over is available for students in this category.
It is important that you are organised in time and that you maintain good contact with your “contact person”. Above this, your options are the same as a student who is a free-mover.
