Other good things to keep in mind

• Housing, financing, and insurance: When you apply to Uppsala University it is important that you start thinking about the practical details of your time as an international student, for instance about housing, financing and insurance.
• Book your trip to Visby: You can travel to Gotland either by ferry or by air, and there are many departures every day. Read about travelling to and from Gotland.
• Look for course litterature. Each course has its own course syllabus and a litterature list. Search for your course syllabus. You can also look for your programme syllabus. Can't you find the literature list, please contact Student Services at Campus Gotland. There are several ways to get the course literature. You can purchase literature through different websites, for instance Amazon UK. You can also compare the price of new books in the biggest online swedish bookshops by using the service bokfynd.nu. The site is in Swedish only but is very useful. You can also borrow literature from our library (Almedalsbiblioteket) or buy used literature from the the students' own buy/sell/exchange group on Facebook.
• Review your schedule. You can search for your schedule in TimeEdit by entering the course in the search field in TimeEdit. Once you have been registered to your courses/programme, you will find your schedule in Studium.
• Get the Campus card. Once you have been registered as a student, you need an access card, the so-called Campus Card. You must have it if you are going to use the printers (for copying and printing), the computer room or if you want to enter the Campus outside of business hours. Read about the Campus card.
• Get access to the university wifi. Once you have become a student, you get access to the wireless network called eduroam. You can also reach eduroam at other universities, railway stations, airports, etc. Read more about eduroam.
• Like or follow Campus Gotland på Facebook. Communicate with us and get news on Facebook. We're also on Instagram. There is also a Facebook group for international students at Campus Gotland.

Learn Swedish!

We offer courses in Basic Swedish to incoming students who are enrolled in a study programme or individual courses at the University. The courses are for beginners and those with some prior knowledge of Swedish. The courses have pre-recorded lectures, combined with live practice sessions.

Students who are liable for fees can audit the courses free of charge, but will not be formally registered. Also, instead of credits they will receive a certificate of completion. If fee-paying students prefer credits, they can also choose to pay for the courses (11,250 SEK). The courses are free of charge for students that are not liable for tuition fees.
