Where can I go?
As a student at BTH, you have the opportunity to study abroad through our exchange agreements with universities around the world. Here you can see which countries and universities you can choose from and find an exchange that suits you.
Exchange agreements
BTH has a large number of exchange agreements with various higher education institutions in other countries. The agreements are usually subject-related and the number of student exchanges is also regulated. This means that you cannot choose freely among all the universities with which BTH has agreements, but that you must check that the agreements apply to your particular subject area.
Exchange programs
Exchange studies are often linked to various exchange programs and in many cases you as a student can apply for a scholarship that is linked to your particular education program.
- In the Nordic countries there are Nordtek and Nordplus
- In Europe, there are Erasmus+, Erasmus+ Traineeships and Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programs (BIP)
- Outside Europe, there are Bilateral Agreements
If you choose not to go through BTH's exchange program, you can go as a Free mover.
Minor Field Studies - field studies abroad
Do you want to give your thesis a global perspective and really make a difference? Minor Field Studies (MFS) is a scholarship program funded by Sida. MFS gives students the chance to collect data by conducting field studies in another country where Sweden conducts development cooperation. Read more about MFS.

Extra opportunities for students in spatial planning
Erasmus+ ICM Scholarship
Students from all spatial planning programs can apply to study in Albania for one semester through Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility (ICM). The application requirements are the same as for the regular Erasmus+ round.
BTH has been granted a project that makes it possible to send students to our partner in Albania: POLIS - International School of Architecture and Urban Development Policies. The program runs until 30 July 2027.
More information about the institution can be found by searching in MoveON.
Erasmus+ ICM is a scholarship program that enables cooperation between higher education institutions outside Europe and covers mobility in both directions. Students participating in the program study under the same conditions as domestic students and pay no tuition fees.
The scholarship covers:
- 700 euros per month
- Travel grant: €360
- Insurance through Kammarkollegiet
The scholarship is a grant to cover the additional costs of the stay abroad, but it is not always comprehensive. The scholarship does not affect the possibility of applying for CSN, which you apply for as usual.
Extra scholarship funds for inclusion support
BTH has also been awarded extra funds for inclusion support within Erasmus+ ICM. The support is intended for participants with special needs and the number of scholarships is limited.
Special needs include, for example:
- Disabilities
- Health problems
- Education-related barriers
- Cultural differences
- Social or economic barriers
- Barriers related to discrimination
- Geographical barriers
