Exam in another location
Students might be able to take an exam in another city or a country outside of Sweden, if special conditions prevail.
If you're an international student and are required to retake an exam or assignment in order to complete your course you can apply to do so in another location. This is also applicable if you're required to spend a period abroad as part of your course (or you're on an approved student exchange), and the exam period falls during your time abroad.
Regulations regarding taking exams in another location
- Your application must be submitted before the registration period for the exam ends.
- You must register for the exam in Ladok for students within the exam registration period.
