www.studyinsweden.se and www.studera.nu Check out those websites they have all the info that you will need. Once you get a student residence permit you automatically get a work permit but there is a catch. You have to have this personal number. If your program is longer than 1 year then you get a personal number as soon as you arrive and you will have no trouble applying for jobs because you must have a personal number just to apply. On the other hand if your course is for less than one year than you are not eligible for a personal number, but you are still able to work. Well, actually you get a 'pseudo' personal number that is alpha-numeric instead of the normal one that is only numbers. It can be tricky though because most reputable employers wont give you the time of day if you don't have this number and in order to get it you have to have a job offer. Plus, it is pretty difficult to find work in Sweden if you don't speak Swedish. Good luck.
