ENLIGHT Joint Courses

As a student at Uppsala University, you have the opportunity to apply for freestanding courses or summer courses abroad through the network ENLIGHT. These courses are offered both in physical and virtual formats, or a combination of the two through what is called blended mobility.

The ten partner universities within ENLIGHT:

To apply for freestanding courses you must meet the following requirements:

  • It must be your intention to take your degree at Uppsala University.

  • You must meet the entry requirements for the specific course you are applying for. The course requirements can be found in the course catalogue on ENLIGHT's website.
  • If you are taking a freestanding course in a blended teaching format, you must be physically present at the partner university during the mandatory physical part of your blended mobility. Course dates are available in the course catalogue on ENLIGHT's website.

How many times can I apply?

There are no restrictions on how many times you can apply during your studies at Uppsala University, but you can only apply for up to three courses per semester. Also, please note that you can only receive the Erasmus grant for studies or the Erasmus grant for blended mobility for a total of 12 months per study level.

More information about what you, as a student with a residence permit or a fee-paying student, need to know before applying for freestanding courses abroad via ENLIGHT can be found among the application instructions.

As a student, you have the opportunity to take freestanding courses that are offered both during and between regular semesters. These courses are available in both physical and virtual formats, as well as in a blended format that combines both physical and virtual elements.

The courses can range from 3 credits to 10 credits. Among the selection of freestanding courses and summer courses, you will find interdisciplinary courses at both bachelor's and master's levels.

All freestanding courses and summer courses are provided within the framework of the ENLIGHT network. You can find the course catalogue on ENLIGHT's website. Each course has its own entry requirements. In the course catalogue you will find the entry requirements for each course.
