Swedish language courses are offered for incoming exchange students. Short Swedish language courses during Orientation (SUSA) or more extensive courses during semester (SVE).

Lund University offers Special Area Studies (SAS) - specially designed courses available for exchange students. These courses give an insight into Scandinavian and European cultural interest areas.

It may be possible to take courses at other faculties, but there are restrictions. If your home university has a faculty based agreement we cannot guarantee admission to courses at other faculties.

Admission is restricted to students from universities with exchange agreements with the Faculty of Law. The selection of students is based on academic merits. Please note that the Faculty of Law reserves the right to withdraw any course, which fails to attract sufficient applicants.

Each course has limited acceptance.
