Freestanding courses

Most of our courses taught in English are only available for Master’s students or formal exchange students. We do have a limited number of courses taught in English that are open to all students. Most of them are distance education courses, in the autumn and spring semester. A few are given during the summer semester.

The same application procedures apply to both programmes and courses at Uppsala University. Students apply online through the national central application system, universityadmissions.se, where you will find information about how and when to apply.
