Planning your studies
Academic year
The academic year is divided into two semesters of approximately 20 weeks each. For exchange students, the autumn semester starts in August and runs to around the middle of January. Spring semester starts in the middle of January and runs to the beginning of June.
A full workload equals 30 ECTS credits per semester. Most courses are 7.5 ECTS.
Study plan
Your application must include a realistic study plan. This means that you have courses that are evenly divided over the semester. Not all courses have the same duration, some courses last the entire semester, while others are between 3 to 10 weeks long. Please make sure that you list your course selection in order of priority in your application. Exchange students can study a maximum of 37.5 ECTS credits per semester and 60 ECTS credits per year. The SUSA course (short introduction to Swedish language, 3 ECTS credits), is not included.
Autumn semester
- Period 1: end of August – end of October
- Period 2: beginning November – January
Spring semester
- Period 3: January - middle of March
