Courses and programmes taught in Swedish
The Faculties of Humanities and Theology offer a large number of freestanding courses and courses within programmes that are taught in Swedish. If you find a course taught in Swedish that you wish to study and you are unable to add it to your application, please send us an email on internationalht.luse. Please note that you need to have a sufficient level of Swedish language skills to be eligible and admitted to a course.
Course admission
The result of your course admission will be visible in SoleMove some time after the submission deadline of your application.
Autumn semester: mid-May
Spring semester: mid-November
If you have not been accepted to a course, it might be either because you did not meet the entry requirements, or that the course was full. There are limited number of places for each course so it is important that you put a second choice in your application.
We do not work with "add and drop" periods at the beginning of the semester, which means that you have to take the courses you have been admitted to. Adjustments in case of schedule overlaps can be made before the semester starts.
You are only welcome to attend courses you have been officially admitted to. No students without a course admission are allowed in class.
Confirmation and registration
- Once your study plan is confirmed, you’ll be able to see the final course application result in SoleMove.
- Approved courses will be visible in the Lund University study documentation system (Ladok). You can log in with your student account.
- Additional information will be provided after your arrival in Lund.
Write a paper or thesis
While in Lund, would you like to write a paper or thesis, a project that was initiated at your home university? You are welcome to do so, but unfortunately we are not able to provide you with a supervisor at Lund University. Your home supervisor will be the one to help you throughout your project.
Schedules
It's your own responsibility to check the schedules and make sure that there is no collision between your courses. The schedule is published about a month before the semester begins. You will receive an email when it is time for you to check your personal schedule.
You can generate your own schedule by combining courses, modules and groups or search for a particular room or staff using the schedule generator.
How to use:
- Select search option "Course” or “Course part”
- Enter the course code in the search field
- Click on the course code in the search results and then "Show Schedule"
- In the schedule view, you can choose to customize the view via "Customize" in the upper right.
