Are you ready with your study plan?

Before getting on the train, or bus, or whichever method of transport you have chosen to take you to Lund University, you should be ready with a few practical matters, such as your study plan.

 

Study plan

Application for the exchange as well as for individual courses is done via the platform SoleMove. Your application must include a realistic study plan. 

Studies at Lund University are usually performed one course at a time or two courses in parallel, with an examination or essay at the end of each individual course. Your courses can be anything from 2 to 20 weeks long, with 5, 10 and 20 weeks being the most common ranges. The duration and extent of courses and programmes are expressed in a system of credits (högskolepoäng). The Swedish credit system is the same as the European ECTS credits. Thus, one week of full-time study corresponds to 1.5 credits. One semester of full-time study is equal to 30 credits. Single subject courses vary in length from 7.5 to 60 credits.

 

Check schedules

It is your own responsibility to make sure that your courses do not clash. The best way to do so is to use the Schedule Generator . Links to an external site.

• 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.
• You can choose several courses to check any schedule clashes 

Change courses

There is no add and drop period at Lund University which means that there is a very limited possibility to change courses that you have been admitted to. If you have to change your courses, you must contact your coordinators at Lund University for permission and assistance.
