New student
Welcome to our new students at the Department of Mathematics!
We hope that you will enjoy your studies at our department. On this page you can find useful information for starting you studies, about for instance admission, registration, course literature and course web.
Important things to do before starting your studies
- Activate your university account
- Register for your course via Ladok

Course literature
You can find information about course literature in the course catalogue, but we also have a list here:

Course web and schedules
We don't use Athena, instead you can find our course webpages on kurser.math.su.se.
You can find links to course schedules in the course catalogue, or you can search by course code in TimeEdit.

Schedules in TimeEdit
Courses given jointly with KTH may have their course web and schedule at KTH, in which case you can find information in the course catalogue or we will send out information before the course starts.
The Library
The research library is housed as part of the institute in spacious and fresh premises.
You will find the main entrance in the corridor to the right of the student office.
The library is primarily for employees but is available to students and the general public subject to availability.

Do you understand what is expected of you, are you using your time effectively, and are you keeping on top of your reading and assignments? The Academic Writing Service have put together a guide to help you during your studies at Stockholm University.
Studying with a disability
Students with disabilities may be eligible for different types of support in their studies. We recommend that you start the process of applying for support as soon as you have been admitted to a course or programme at the Department of Mathematics (and, if you are applying in the second admissions round, have replied to your offer).
- Follow the instructions under: Apply for support and adaptations.
- Contact the department at stod@math.su.se, attaching your certificate with recommended types of support.
- You will get a reply about how this support will work in practice at the Department of Mathematics.
