Courses in English for exchange students by subject

As an exchange student - depending on what subject you choose and your qualifications - you have a number of courses to choose from.

Here we have listed courses that are given in English by subject and semester. 

The list below is compiled manually and should be regarded as tentative. You find all officially published courses via "Courses and programmes"

Courses part of programmes only

Some of the courses are only given as part of a programme. That means that only you who are an exchange student and meet the qualifications can take these courses. If you are a Free Mover (not an Exchange Student) you cannot apply to them.

 

How to read the list below

BA/MA indicates the level of the course

Course: you have the course name and a link to the course in the on line catalogue. There you find course structure, schedule and course texts etc.

Period indicates when the course is given. A semester is divided in two blocks - or Periods - of 10 weeks each. Period 1 is first half of the semester. Sometimes Period 1 is also described as A + B where A = the first five weeks and B the following five weeks. Period 2 is then C + D. This is useful to have in mind especially if you seek to get a full semester of 30 credits.

Pace % means if the course is full time or half time.
Example: A 15 credits course running Period 1 at 100% will be a full time course, usually hard to combine with other courses at the same time. A 7,5 credits course running Period 1 at 50% will run over 10 weeks also, and will probably give you room to have another 7,5 credits 50% pace course parallell.
