ENLIGHT BIP Courses

To apply for ENLIGHT BIP Courses, you must meet the following requirements:

• You are registered as a student at Uppsala University during the semester in which the course is offered.
• You are registered for 30 credits at Uppsala University at the time of application. These credits must be completed by the start of the following semester, or by the start of the BIP course if there are special reasons. If you have an approved academic leave of absence registered in Ladok, you may be granted an exemption. Please attach the decision certificate to your application.
• Students registered for an internship course in Ladok are eligible to apply for an ENLIGHT BIP Course.
• You intend to graduate from Uppsala University.
• You meet the entry requirements for each course you apply for. The entry requirements are described in the respective course descriptions.

Please note that:

• If you are offered a place on a course delivered in a blended format, you must be able to attend the mandatory on-site component at the host university. The dates for each course are stated in the course description.
• You may not have an exchange semester planned during the same semester as the ENLIGHT BIP Course.
• Priority will be given to students who have not previously been offered a place on a ENLIGHT BIP Course.

How many times can I apply?

There is no limit to how many times you can apply during your studies, but you may apply for a maximum of three courses per semester.

Fee-paying students who are enrolled in a full-time study programme at Uppsala University, are eligible to apply for ENLIGHT BIP Courses.

To know if you can take the course as part of your 30 credits study load next semester, please consult with your programme coordinator before applying. It is the student’s responsibility to make sure to communicate with the department to know if the ENLIGHT BIP course can be included the programme.

The credits for the course have the same fee as your other credits at Uppsala University. This means that if you can include the course in your study programme (for example by taking 25 credits in Uppsala, and a 5 credit ENLIGHT BIP course), you will pay the tuition fee for 30 credits as usual.

If you, for example, want to take 30 credits in Uppsala next semester, and an additional 5 credits at an ENLIGHT university, Uppsala University will charge for the additional ECTS credits before the semester begins, based on your tuition fee. You, as a student, have to ask for this invoice at feemaster@uu.se, and indicate “ENLIGHT extra course” in the title of your email.

Students with a residence permit

Students studying in Sweden on a residence permit should check with the Swedish Migration Agency that participation in ENLIGHT BIP Courses outside Sweden does not affect their residence permit. Please refer to the Swedish Migration Agency's website.

If you are planning to take ENLIGHT BIP Courses, you can apply for the Erasmus+ grant for blended mobility. The grant can be applied for once you have been admitted to a course that combines physical mobility (for a minimum of five and a maximum of 30 days) with a mandatory virtual component, either before, during or after the physical mobility period. You can find more information on the pages about the Erasmus grant for blended mobility.
