Sahlgrenska Academy - Information for exchange students
Sahlgrenska Academy welcomes exchange students from partner universities every semester. Up to 100 exchange students visit us every year and take part in courses, clinical training, thesis projects, or different research groups.
How can I become an exchange student?
At the Sahlgrenska Academy, you can take courses, participate in clinical placements or do your thesis projects during your exchange period. Please note that there must be a formal exchange agreement between your home university and Sahlgrenska Academy in order for us to be able to accept you as an exchange student.
