Description
När du kommit så här långt på den medie- och kommunikationsvetenskapliga resan har du snart examensdiplomet inom räckhåll. Det är nu du skall ge dig i kast med något av det roligaste, viktigaste och mest givande med universitetsstudierna. Det kan naturligtvis även uppfattas som ett av de svårare momenten men, oroa dig inte, de första delkurserna går ut på att få dig väl förberedd inför själva uppsatsarbetet.
För att kunna skriva en riktigt bra kandidatuppsats behöver du exempelvis ha goda kunskaper om, och förståelse för, vetenskapsteori och metod. På terminens första delkurs får du möjlighet att fördjupa dina kunskaper inom valfritt medie- och kommunikationsvetenskapligt metodområde.
På den andra delkursen kommer du till stor del själv få välja vilka kunskapsområden du vill inrikta dina studier på. Det kan då handla om såväl medievetenskapligt orienterade teman som medierna i relation till opinionsbildning, demokrati, medborgarskap, identitet, konsumtion och populärkultur. Eller mer kommunikationsvetenskapligt orienterade teman som livsstils- och hälsokommunikation.
Examensarbetet brukar vara en tid man efteråt minns som själva kulmen på sina studier och på institutionen minns vi en massa spännande uppsatser med titlar som; ”Klämma, känna och lukta - En studie om vikten av närhet i en läkare-och patientrelation”, ”#MeToo - Nätkampanjen som handlade om ... Martin Timell?”, ”Myten om världens svenskaste bolag”, "Influencers eviga konsumtion: vägen till det lyckliga livet?", "Att vara chef i en Facebookvärld", "Lika barn leka bäst: vegodejting som vägen till lycklig kärlek", "Avfölj den här användaren En studie om människors konsumerande av relationer i en föränderlig värld", ”Snurr på interaktionen” etc.

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
Non-EU/EEA citizens
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.

Application fee
If you are required to pay tuition fees, you are generally also required to pay an application fee of SEK 900 (approximately EUR 100) when you apply at universityadmissions.se. You pay one application fee regardless of how many programmes or courses you apply to.
