Description
This programme is designed for students seeking a unique Scandinavian study abroad experience and who are interested in further developing their Swedish language skills in Sweden. Students applying are expected to already have some Swedish language proficiency corresponding to CEFR level B1. The selection is based on an entrance test.
By the end of the course, you will be able to
- understand extended speech and lectures and follow even complex lines of argument provided the topic is reasonably familiar
- understand television programmes and films without too much effort
- read articles and reports concerned with contemporary problems in which the writers present attitudes or viewpoints
- interact with native Swedes with a degree of fluency and spontaneity and take an active part in discussions, accounting for and sustaining your views
- present clear, detailed descriptions of complex subjects and employ various styles of writing, selecting a style appropriate to the reader in mind.
The programme includes 6 months of full-time studies (30 ECTS). At the end of successfully completed studies the student will receive a transcript and certificate. For students currently studying a degree, the home university will need to approve whether the ECTS credits from the programme can be transferred to the current degree programme. A grade of Pass on the course meets the requirement of Swedish proficiency for admission to Swedish higher education.

This course is not open as a freestanding course next semester. It can be open for application within a programme or for students in an exchange programme. Please ask your academic advisor for information.
How to apply
Lund University uses a national application system run by University Admissions in Sweden. It is only possible to apply during the application periods: October–January for autumn semester and June–August for spring semester.
Extended application deadline
Sometimes the application deadline is extended for a specific programme or course. In these cases you will find the message "open for late application" by the programme/course information on universityadmissions.se. You apply with the usual application steps. As long as this message is showing, it is possible to apply, but late applications are processed in order of date, so it is still important to apply as soon as possible. Please note that if the programme/course does not have an extended deadline, it is not possible to apply late.
First or Second Admission Round?
All international students are encouraged to apply to the First admission round. This round takes place many months before the start of a semester and gives students the time they need to pay their tuition fees, apply for and receive their residence permit (if required), find housing, etc.
The Second admission round is an alternative for students from EU/EEA countries as they do not need a residence permit. Non-EU/EEA students will most likely not have enough time to obtain their permit before the start of the semester. However, even EU/EEA students are advised to apply during the First admission round, as some programmes can be applied for only in the January round. Also, this provides applicants with an admission decision much earlier, which is helpful in making decisions about their studies.
Tuition Fees

Citizens of a country outside of the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland are required to pay tuition fees. You pay one instalment of the tuition fee in advance of each semester.
