Accommodation for visitors at Uppsala University

Finding accommodation for a short period in Uppsala is not very easy. This is the main reason why Uppsala University has established an agreement with the Housing Office at Akademihotellet to offer furnished apartments and rooms to  a number of visiting reserachers and students at Uppsala University.  

The Housing Office has two dimensions to its work. As the name Akademihotellet implies, it is in fact a hotel in central Uppsala. The Housing Office also has a range of apartments and rooms that are offered exclusively to University visitors. The apartments and rooms are rented from various house owners and located in different areas in Uppsala.

The rooms are not student dormitories in the generally accepted sense of the word, nor are they owned nor operated by the Housing Office: they are rented from private housing companies in Uppsala and subleased to our guests. 

Under certain circumstances formal exchange students and fee paying Master students can be guaranteed accommodation by the university. More information for Exchange students and Master students.
All other students are responsible for finding their own housing. 

The housing market in Sweden, and especially Uppsala, is likely very different to the housing market you are used to and it will take significant time and effort to secure housing. Contact your coordinator at the department to see if they have suggestions for accommodation, or you can read the comprehensive information available at the Student Union. See also their site for all accommodation in Uppsala: www.studentboet.se.      

Insurance: It is advisable to check your insurances before travelling to Sweden and make sure that you are protected by a householder's comprehensive insurance.
