Fees
SMU students pay approx. 34,100 SEK (approx. CAD$5100) at JU to cover tuition, application fee, accommodation and the social and cultural activity package. Travel, accommodation, travel insurance, immigration application costs (if applicable), personal expenses, etc. are also each participating student’s responsibility.
Transfer credits
Students may be able to earn credits to the extent that those credits are applicable to the program requirements of their SMU degree. Meet with your academic advisor of your program (visit https://www.smu.ca/academics/academic-advising.html) to see if any of your remaining degree requirements can be completed at another university. If your advisor confirms that there is room for transfer credits in your degree, you will request approval to take courses for transfer credits by submitting a Letter of Permission Request Form (found here https://www.smu.ca/academics/student-forms.html) to the SMU Records Office as soon as your acceptance is confirmed. Typically, 3credit hours at SMU is earned for each 6-11 ECTS credits given at European partner schools.
