ECTS Credits
Sweden has recently changed their credit system to comply with the ECTS system, so that 1 Credit Point equals 1 ECTS or 0,5 US credits. For full time studies a student is expected to take 30 ECTS credits worth of courses (students are allowed to take a maximum of 45 ECTS credits per semester). The semester is 20 weeks long and 1 full week of study is estimated to be approximately 40 hours of lectures, group work, seminars and independent study.
Semester
Some courses are given both during fall term and spring term. In order to choose the right courses you need to make sure the courses you want to take are given during the semester you plan on taking them.
Study tempo
In contrast to other countries, it is not uncommon that students only take one course per semester, but said course gives 30 ECTS credits and requires more in-depth study. There are also combinations of 15-ECTS credit and 7,5 ECTS -credit courses that make up full-time studies. Consequently, not all courses are of the same duration. Some courses last the entire semester and others can be between 3 to 10 weeks long.
Full-time courses (100%) are given in sequence (one at a time) and not parallel during the whole semester. It is therefore very important to notice the time period in which each course you wish to apply for is offered.
Students should not apply for two full-time courses given the same period of time, as that would mean double (200%) workload for that period and constant schedule collisions.
It is however possible to apply for a part-time course parallel to a full-time course.
Study period
The study periods show between which weeks the courses are given.
