SU campus
The campus of SU is located in Stockholm. This is a fairly large city that opens up many opportunities for students: from cafes, restaurants and other entertainment to internships at large companies. But an urban campus can also be a disadvantage, because big city life distracts some students from their studies. The university has a library where students can do their homework, write scientific papers or just read interesting books. Not only locals study at SU, but also students from other countries. This is a unique opportunity to get in touch with the culture of other countries, meet representatives of different nationalities and make friends around the world.
After graduation, you can stay in Sweden for another year. You can do this by extending your student visa or applying for a job search visa. SU graduates find jobs quickly, partly because the university has a good reputation among employers according to the QS World University Rankings.
