International Office

The International Office at the Faculty of Social Sciences develops and implements the faculty’s internationalization policy. Daily activities include collaboration with international academic partners, managing all bilateral agreements for international student exchange programmes,  administration and contact for incoming and outgoing exchange students, and the administration of the admission process for the international Master's programmes.

The international office of the Faculty of Social Sciences is the first port of call for international students of the Faculty who need help with practical matters such as visas, housing, insurance and so on. The office also offers financial support in some cases - for example, for student exchanges, overseas research trips, or internships. 

The international office also assists with staff mobility, and with accommodation applications for staff and guests of the Faculty of Social Sciences.
