Hello Student! Welcome to us and to your studies in the autumn of 2026.

Get started with your studies

When you have been admitted to a course, you need to 1) activate your student account and 2) register for the course in order to take it and not lose your place. See our registration periodes.

If you need additional support in your studies, you must apply for it. The approved support will be documented in what is known as a Nais certificate.

In Studium you will find information about your courses from the course director and teachers. Our current courses.

Our teaching + Studium

We, the Department of Cultural Anthropology and Ethnology, teach on the English Park Campus in Uppsala and with our distance learning courses. We use the learning platform Studium for all our courses. We use the video conference service Zoom to conduct distance learning but when necessary we can also use it in our campus courses.

It is important that you stay up-to-date about your studies - there can be quick changes where, when and how the teaching will be carried out. You do it best by informing yourself about your course in Studium.

See our current courses in Studium.

In the calendar, you’ll find our interesting research seminars – all our students, from undergraduate to postgraduate level, are very welcome to take part or simply listen. You can also read about all our programmes at undergraduate, Master’s, and PhD level.
