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.
