Apply for courses during your studies
As a student, you may need to apply for courses. Some programme students may apply for next semester’s courses, electives, or subject courses. For those taking freestanding courses, it can be about building your own degree.
Applying for courses within a programme
When you are admitted to a programme, you follow a set structure with courses in a fixed order. However, there can be several points during your studies when you will need to apply for programme courses.
In some programmes, all courses must be applied to via antagning.se. In many programmes, there are also one or more semesters where you have the opportunity to choose and apply for courses yourself. This may include elective courses, or choosing a subject, profile subject, or specialisation.
Find out what applies to your programme
Your programme administrators provides information about whether – and how – you need to apply for courses within your programme. Scroll down the page to find this information.
You can also read your programme syllabus. It describes which courses are included in the programme and the order in which you take them. Visit Reading list, course and programme syllabuses to learn how to find your programme syllabus.
Applying for freestanding courses
If you are taking a freestanding course, you may have the opportunity to build your own degree by applying for additional courses. Instead of following a degree programme with a fixed structure, you choose courses yourself that together can lead to a degree in a main field of study.
Only certain degrees can be completed without following a programme. A study counsellor can guide you on how you can build your own degree.
Apply to later part of a programme
If you have completed freestanding courses equivalent to the courses at the first part of a programme, you can in some cases apply for admission to a later semester of that programme. Admission is subject to availability of places. Contact a study counsellor within the subject you are interested in for guidance on your options.
