You can get Studentkortet even if you study abroad, if your programme qualifies for student aid from CSN. Most students abroad get the card with all discounts, but not the travel symbols.
How to do it
- Create an account in the app with your Swedish personal number.
- Is your school not in the list? Choose Övriga / annan (Other) under Universitet/Högskola.
- Upload a certificate from your school under Profile > Edit profile > “Är du student?” It must show your name, that you are enrolled this semester and your study pace.
- Also upload your decision on student aid from CSN for the semester. It shows your Swedish personal number, which is often missing on certificates from schools abroad.
Travel symbols
The travel symbols require a Swedish personal number and follow the transport operators' rules. Most students abroad therefore don't get the travel discount. How the travel symbols work
No Swedish personal number?
Then you can't create an account in the Swedish STUK. STUK is also available in other countries, with separate apps and discounts for each country.
