Special Area Studies
Special Area Studies (SAS) courses
These are regular academic courses focused on Scandinavian interest areas, European and global issues.
Swedish Language
An introductory Swedish language course (SUSA) is offered to all exchange students before the semester starts. Students can apply to a regular Swedish Language course as part of their study plan.
About Swedish Language courses
Swedish-taught courses
If you have studied Scandinavian studies or have studied in a Nordic school system, you may be able to apply for courses with Swedish as the language of instruction. You can find courses taught in Swedish on our Swedish website, but be aware that not all courses listed will be open for exchange students. Courses that are open for exchange students will be available to choose from in the application link for nominated students. Typically, the language requirement for exchange students wishing to study Swedish-taught courses is 'Swedish B' or equivalent.

Can't find a course?
If you are a nominated student and cannot find the subject or course you are looking for, please contact the coordinator for your exchange. Your coordinator may be able to suggest specific courses that are suitable and available during your study period.
Please note that certain courses you may find during your search across the faculty/department websites may be restricted to students registered for a full degree programme and, as such, these courses will not be available to exchange students.
When to apply
You apply to be nominated for an exchange at your home university during their application period.
Nominated exchange students apply during 1 April–15 April for autumn semester exchange studies and 1 October–15 October for spring semester exchange studies. Unless these dates fall on a weekend or public holiday, in which case we reserve the right to adjust the application start date to the first regular working day thereafter.
