Semester 1: End August to Mid January
Semester 2: Mid January to Early June

1.5 Swedish credits equates to one week of full-time studies and a semester consists of 20 weeks, i.e. 30 credits. Thus one year of full-time studies equals 60 credits.

Most courses are labeled with a course level (A, B, C or D). This indicates how advanced the course is. Level A is introductory (first semester), and D is usually the most advanced undergraduate level (a level A course may, however, still require prerequisites in the subject from upper secondary school). Courses that cannot be designated for a specific level are denoted by X. In general C and D level courses are taken during the 3rd or 4th year of the undergraduate programme.

Course selection is on a first come first served basis. Some departments have a quota on exchange students and emphasize diversity of student population. Exchange students should choose courses carefully at the point of application. A minimum of 22 ECTS and maximum of 30 ECTS would be pre-approved. Exchange students are discouraged from taking more than 37ECTS.

Please refer to the Other Links section for relevant links to course information.  

Please check with your faculty for its internal application deadlines. After you have been selected by and accepted your faculty’s internal offer, your faculty would give you the application instructions of the partner university. An online application to the partner university is needed.

Exchange students will be allocated a student room or a studio, subject to the deadline for the submission of the Housing Application Form and subject to the allocation of housing to your department. 

Housing is guaranteed to all full term exchange students. For exchange students staying other periods housing cannot be guaranteed, but we will assist in finding solutions. Students in Sweden are living in rooms and apartments like any other tenants and are expected to take full responsibility for their accommodation. Male and female students live on the same corridors.

In order to get a residence permit for less than one year, you must prove that you have a health insurance policy. You must also prove that you have been admitted as an exchange or visiting student at Uppsala University and fill out a form confirming that you have enough money for your study period in Sweden. If you are a citizen of a country outside the EU/EEA you must have your residence permit stamped into your pass­port before entering Sweden. You can only apply for a residence permit at a Swedish Embassy or Consulate in your home coun­try or country of residence.

Please refer to the Other Links section for the relevant links to consular/visa regulations.

Non-EU/EEA Citizens with a Residence Permit Valid Less Than 12 Months

If you have a visa or residence permit valid for a period of less than a year, then you are not able to register at the local tax office, and you do not have automatic access to health care. Currently Australia, Algeria, Israel and the province of Quebec in Canada have some health agreements with Sweden, but each with very different conditions, some conditions exclude students. To find out whether your country has such an agreement and what it covers, you should contact your local Social Insurance Office in your home country, or visit the Swedish Social Insurance Office (Försäkringskassan) for information.

Students who are not covered by any of these agreements must arrange their own insurance coverage. In Sweden, medical treatment is very expensive without any form of insurance. Expect a starting cost of SEK 2,800 if you visit the emergency ward during the day, or SEK 6,200 if you have to visit them sometime during the night. Private insurance that can be purchased in Sweden can be found at the website Studentförsäkringar.

Please refer to the Other Links Section for the relevant links to the university’s insurance policies.
