ENLIGHT Joint Courses

ENLIGHT is a European University alliance with the goal of creating an open space for learning to gain access to the best courses and teaching offers in all disciplines across the ten ENLIGHT universities.

The ten partner universities within ENLIGHT:

• Universidad del País Vasco (Spain)
• Universiteit Gent (Belgium)
• Université de Bordeaux (France)
• Univerzita Komenského (Slovakia)
• University of Galway (Ireland)
• Georg-August-Universität Göttingen (Germany)
• Rijksuniversiteit Groningen (Netherlands)
• Tartu Ülikool (Estonia)

• Uppsala universitet (Sweden)

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

• You are registered as a student at Uppsala University during the semester of the freestanding course.
• You are registered on 30 higher education credits at Uppsala University at the time of application. These credits must be completed no later than the start of the following semester, or at the start of the freestanding course if there are special reasons. If you are currently on an academic leave of absence that is registered in Ladok, you will be granted an exemption. Attach the decision certificate to your application.
  
• You intend to complete your degree at Uppsala University.
• You must meet the entry requirements for the specific course you are applying for. Requirements are described under each course.
• If you are taking a freestanding course in a blended teaching format, you must be able to physically attend the partner university during the mandatory physical part of your blended mobility. Course dates are listed under each course.
• You do not have an exchange semester planned for the same semester as the freestanding course.

Students who have not previously been offered a place on a freestanding course through ENLIGHT will be given priority.

How many times can I apply?

There are no restrictions on how many times you may apply during your studies at Uppsala University, but you may apply for maximum 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 360 days per study level.
