Lund University offers a two-semester course package that allows you to study the Swedish language and experience the Scandinavian culture.

Study Abroad Swedish Course Package

Who is this course package for?

The Study Abroad Swedish Language Course Package is designed for those who are interested in developing a profound knowledge of the Swedish language and who are seeking a unique Scandinavian 'study abroad' experience by coming to live in Sweden and study at Lund University for two semesters.

The package is ideal for students who have a special interest in Scandinavia, a Swedish family connection, or who would like to continue on and apply for courses and programmes taught in Swedish in the future.

Tailor-made Study Abroad packages for universities and organisations

Universities, national scholarship programmes or other organisations are welcome to contact Lund University to discuss specialised study abroad packages for your students to study specific subject areas and/or Scandinavian special interest topics.

Study Abroad packages can range from short courses during a semester, a summer programme or up to two semesters of full-time studies. Universities and organisations can contact us by sending an email to studentreception [at] lu [dot] se. 

Note! Individual students cannot request a tailor-made study abroad package. Please instead refer to the Study Abroad Swedish Language programme above, or contact your home university to see if there is an exchange agreement or other type of study abroad cooperation in place with Lund University.
