Checklist - to keep in mind for the spring semester 2027
We have put together a checklist for you, which we hope will be helpful to remember everything that needs to be arranged for the spring semester 2027.
Important dates
- From 21 December: Swedish students and current international students may register for their courses: current students, welcome back! New international students may also register for their courses from 21 December; please read more about activation of your student account and registration as a new student without a Swedish personal identity number.
- From 1 January: Apply for the Basic Swedish course if you are interested in learning Swedish (flexible part time courses).
- 18 January: the spring semester starts (and it runs until Friday 4 June).
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 financing and insurance.
The University does not own student accommodations. Instead, student housing is provided by a number of private companies in and around Visby and students are responsible for arranging it themselves.
A good option for new students is to rent a second-hand contract room or apartment. It is common for people in Visby to rent out a room in their house or apartment to students. Since ads for accommodation available from the start of the autumn semester are usually advertised during the summer, we would recommend starting your search for housing at the start of the summer. Read about housing on Gotland and in Visby.
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 the Study Administration's office 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 the library (Almedalsbiblioteket).
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.
Learn Swedish!
Learn everyday Swedish while studying with us! Basic Swedish 1 is perfect for beginners, and Basic Swedish 2 builds on that course. Both include flexible pre‑recorded lectures and engaging practice sessions on campus.
Students who are not liable for tuition fees get priority and can take the courses free of charge. If space is available, fee‑paying students are welcome to audit the courses at no cost and will receive a certificate of completion (instead of credits).
A great way to feel more at home in Sweden and connect with campus life! Read more about the Basic Swedish courses.
What’s happening on campus?
Once a month we send a newsletter to all students on campus. It includes tips on support that may be useful during your studies, as well as information about events in Visby and on Gotland.
The newsletter is sent to the email address you provided on Universityadmissions.se. Read the latest and previous issues here.
Between newsletters, you might also make a habit of checking the calendar on our website.
