Studying a programme in Sweden usually means taking a number of short courses within the framework of your main subject, for example economics, arts or sciences. These short courses lead to a degree. Programmes vary in length, but most programmes taught in English are two-year master’s programmes. There are also individual courses that are offered in English (single subject courses).
Contact information for the relevant department and study counsellor as well as application details are available when you click on the course you're interested in.
