Study+Work in Sweden 2025

23 Sep 2025, 1.00 PM

Would you like to study and work in Sweden, one of the world's leading countries in technology and innovation?

When considering studying abroad, having a clearer vision of the future can make the process more accessible. Based on this idea, we will be hosting a unique event in Tokyo that combines study abroad and job hunting. This time, Johan Forsell, Minister for Migrationwill be participating in the event.　

Date: Tuesday, September 23 13:00-18:00
Location:Tsubame Terrace, at Institute of Science Tokyo

We thought it would be beneficial for all participants if we could provide a forum for those planning to study in Sweden to share the experiences of those who have studied in Sweden, for alumni to interact with Swedish companies, and for information exchange between universities and companies. 

The event will be divided into three main parts: the first will be individual consultations on studying in Sweden, the second will be presentations by alumni and companies, and the third will be a networking event.

Target audience: People who returned from Sweden in 2025, people who have studied at a Swedish university, people who are considering studying in Sweden, people who want to work for a Swedish company, companies and university staff looking for talented personnel.

Schedule:

Registration starts 12:30

Part 1: 13:00 - 14:30 Individual Consultation
