Student unions in Sweden

The Swedish National Union of Students, SFS, organises student unions at universities and places of higher education throughout Sweden.

SFS's main task is to represent and promote the members' interests in education, research and student welfare issues at the national level. Through its participation in the European Students' Union (ESU) SFS also represents its members and Swedish students in the international arena.

The SULF:s Association of Doctoral Candidates (SDF) is the PhD section of SULF, a politically and religiously independent union.
