The Stockholm University Academic Year always starts a Monday in the period August 28 – September 3 and contains two terms: the Autumn Semester and the Spring Semester. One semester runs for 20 weeks. Each semester is divided in four periods: A, B, C and D.
Examinations are arranged throughout the year with no fixed examination periods. Re-examination can sometimes occur after the end of the semester. Formally there are no breaks during the Academic Year; however there is usually no scheduled education on Swedish public holidays or in the period December 24 – January 1. Examinations and field courses can take place during weekends. For exact information you have to read the course timetable.
Application is normally January 15 or April 15 for the Autumn Semester and October 15 for the Spring Semester. Compulsory course and programme registration is normally not earlier than the week before the semester starts.
