We asked the International Office at Karlstad University how they identify new partners for student exchanges.
Carina Eriksson, who develops new exchange agreements with universities outside Europe explains, that during previous International Exchange Days we asked students, where do you want to go on exchange?
- We use this feedback directly from students to formulate a plan of where to start new agreements.
The autumn semester at Karlstad University starts on 30 August. New students at study programmes, where the student groups are not too large, are prioritised to start the semester on campus.

Karlstad university has been at the forefront in climate- and public-related safety research for many years. In a dynamically changing society, however, risk and safety issues need to be seen in a larger context.
International mobility enables valuable collaboration for researchers from Karlstad University and UMONS, the University of Mons in Belgium. The collaboration promotes research in materials science through exchange of knowledge on methods for studying material properties at the nanoscale.
– My visit here at Karlstad University has been enriching in many ways, says Philippe Leclere from UMONS.
The agreement gives Karlstad Business School students the opportunity to apply for exchange studies at National Taipei University, an institution specialised in law, business, the social sciences, and the humanities.
The International Project, the IPC project, enables student teachers to meet online to exchange experiences in an international perspective without having to study abroad during parts of their education. At the end of June, teacher education researchers from all over the world gather within the IPC project at Karlstad University for their annual conference.
Student mobility and studying abroad plays a marginal role in the individual experience of teacher students.
