Career

Working during and after study in Sweden

Understand the legal conditions first, then evaluate how your programme connects to employers and further study.

Work rules in Sweden

There is no single hourly cap stated for all student permit holders, but study progress and the conditions of residence remain essential. Employment should fit around full-time study.

Use institutional career support

Ask universities about internships, career services, employer partnerships and graduate outcomes for your field.

Plan beyond graduation

Graduate residence and employment routes are separate from admission. Start checking them well before student status ends.
