Student Health Service
A healthy lifestyle and well-being are important factors for successful study results. If you feel unbalanced and it affects your health and your study skills, then you can turn to the Student Health Service for help and support. We work proactively with lifestyle issues and offer both counselling and support. The Student Health Service is committed to confidentiality and all visits are free of charge.
Medical and pharmaceutical treatment
If you need medical care or prescription medication, contact a local healthcare centre (Swedish: hälsocentral). If you are unsure where to go, you can call the healthcare advice line 1177. By calling 1177, you can speak to a registered nurse in English or Swedish. The service is available 24 hours a day. The website 1177.se is Sweden’s national portal for healthcare information and services. It provides reliable medical advice, information about healthcare services, and access to digital healthcare services.
In case of a medical emergency, always call 112.

Talking to a counsellor
Sometimes you may need to talk to someone about how you are feeling and your life situation. There may be things in your life that affect both your health and your studies. Student Health Counsellors offer individual counselling for a wide range of concerns. These may include mental health, perfectionism, difficulty concentrating, exam anxiety and depression. Your counselling session can take place on campus or online.
Help with study skills and study planning
When you study at university, you are expected to take a lot of responsibility for your studies. This requires motivation, self-discipline and planning. Good study skills are important to your success, whether you are a new student or have been studying for a few years.
Contact the student coach if you need help with structuring your studies and everyday life, or if you need support to study “smarter”. For example, you can get help with planning and structuring your studies, developing your study skills, or getting started on time and not procrastinating. You may also need help with staying motivated or finding a study approach that can help you on your way to successful studies.
Health and lifestyle
Want to talk about your lifestyle? The health counsellor can help you explore how you feel by looking at your lifestyle habits, such as stress, exercise, sleep, alcohol and tobacco. You may want to make lifestyle changes, such as stopping smoking or reducing stress. Together you can develop strategies to help you feel better. Above all, you can get help with the most important thing - the motivation to change and improve.
Take an anonymous lifestyle test
Find out about your lifestyle habits quickly and easily with a lifestyle test. You can test your lifestyle habits in seven different areas - stress, diet, alcohol, mental health, physical activity, sleep and tobacco – or take a test in all areas. The test is anonymous and based on your answers you will get instant feedback with advice and concrete tips.
