University of Gävle

International collaboration

International educational exchanges and academic cooperation across national boundaries have long been a tradition at Gävle. An increasing number of courses taught in English at the university opens opportunities for foreign students to study here. The major part of this international collaboration takes place at the undergraduate and master degree levels.

Mobility

International mobility for Gävle students has mainly occurred within EU countries and with Australia. However, in the past few years, Gävle has established new academic contacts in countries such as Canada, China and South Africa, a development that adds to the university´s global network of educational exchange.

Partnerships

Today the university has more than 90 international exchange partnerships, resulting in an ever increasing number of international student exchanges.

International network

Moreover, the on-going international exchange of Gävle faculty and administrators creates a stable foundation for the university´s international network of educational programmes and research projects.

International students

The university´s international mobility opportunities are maintained through bilateral partnership agreements. Housing accommodations as well as student mentors are made available to all international students. A basic beginner´s Swedish language course is also offered.
