Live in Uppsala
Even though Uppsala is part one of the fastest-growing regions in Europe, you’ll never be more than a short bike ride from those restorative Swedish green spaces. To help you get to know your new home, we guide you in how to find a housing, school and childcare, how to open a bank account, where you can learn Swedish or just hang out with your new neighbours.
If you are new to Uppsala or have recently arrived, this program is for you! Throughout February and March, we offer a series of events to help newcomers learn more about life in Sweden, meet new people, and explore employment opportunities.
