Who can come on an exchange to Dalarna University?
For you to come to Dalarna University on an exchange, your home university must have signed an exchange agreement with us. Contact the coordinator at your home university to find out if such an agreement exists and if you can be nominated as an exchange student.
If you are a non-EU/EES citizen, you must apply for a Swedish residence permit for studies. This applies even if you are currently residing in an EU/EES country and have a valid permit. This should be done as soon as you are admitted. Find more information on du/applytocourses
