ENLIGHT Joint Courses

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.
• You need to meet the entry requirements for the course. Entry requirements can be found in the respective course descriptions.

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.

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

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 freestanding ENLIGHT 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 freestanding ENLIGHT 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 freestanding courses outside Sweden does not affect their residence permit. Please refer to the Swedish Migration Agency's website.

If you plan to take ENLIGHT Joint Courses in a blended teaching format, you can apply for the Erasmus grant for blended mobility. The grant can be applied for if you are admitted to a course or programme that combines physical mobility (for a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 30 days) with a mandatory virtual component either before, during, or after the physical mobility. You can find more information on the pages about the Erasmus grant for blended mobility.
