About the course
The course is specifically aimed at foreign exchange students enrolled at Uppsala University who have good proficiency in the Swedish language. You have learned the basics through participating in and passing Basic Swedish 3 or equivalent studies. Basic Swedish 4 gives you a more profound knowledge of the Swedish language through teacher-led training and, partially, self-instruction.
The course deepens your knowledge of Swedish language structure, vocabulary and writing skills. The course also includes assignments to improve your listening comprehension and the ability to express your oral and written skills. All these parts are taught parallelly during the course. The courses' texts and themes focus on areas like crime and punishment, social media, holidays and working.
Taking the course also entails the opportunity to get to know and study with other international students. The course includes 48 lessons and you meet the teacher and your group twice a week. The passed course gives you 7.5 credits and you will be at the B2 level on the CEFR scale.
It is necessary for the applicant to be enrolled at Uppsala University and registered in the student register (Ladok) of their main department before an application can be granted. Find the application form at the Basic Swedish website.
