International Committee (IC)We organize welcoming activities and “buddies” for arriving exchange students. We also inform and encourage the members of the Student Union about studying abroad. For international students
Welcome to SLU and Ultuna. You will receive a letter with information before you start your time as an exchange student at SLU. We offer as many exchange students as we can a “buddy”, a person who knows about the university, Uppsala, where to go and what to do. Your “buddy” can be a support during your first time at SLU. We would also like to welcome the master students to all our activities! We are not only here to make your stay in Uppsala easier, we are also here to make it more fun! We organize different activities throughout the semester and they are usually a lot of fun. Every week we translate the information letter from the student union and add our information about activities and typical Swedish traditions for the period. Weekly information: (updated 31/8)
