Launched in 2024, Study+Work in Sweden aims to showcase the value of studying in Sweden and the opportunities available at Swedish companies. The event has been held in Tokyo, Osaka, and Fukuoka, and this year we are pleased to extend the outreach to Hokkaido in collaboration with Hokkaido University.
The program consists of three parts designed to offer practical information, personal guidance, and opportunities for networking.
Event Overview
Participants will have the opportunity to speak directly with representatives from the Embassy of Sweden and Swedish universities. These one-on-one consultations provide tailored guidance on study options, applications, scholarships, and career pathways connected to Sweden.
Representatives from Swedish universities, company partners, and former exchange students will deliver presentations offering firsthand perspectives on studying and working in Sweden.
An informal networking session will bring together companies, alumni, prospective students, and university staff.
Participating institutions from Sweden include Lund University, Jönköping University, Stockholm University, Halmstad University and the University of Gothenburg.
Participants will also receive printed materials and guides on studying and working in Sweden.

”Sweden as a destination for exchange”
While studying at the Faculty of Economics at Hokkaido University, I developed an interest in the economics of high-welfare societies. To broaden my perspective, I spent six months as an exchange student at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in 2025, where I experienced the warmth of the Swedish people and their unique culture firsthand. Following my time in Sweden, I spent another six-month exchange at the University of Barcelona before returning to Hokkaido University.
