Language

Courses listed in the page ”Courses in English” in the study guide are available for application for incoming exchange students.

Study period

The academic year is divided into an autumn (ht) and a spring (vt) semester, each having two study periods:

• ht1 - from the end of August to the end of October.
• ht2 - from the end of October-to the end of December.
• vt1 - from mid January to mid March.
• vt2 - from mid March to the beginning of June.

Timetable module

All courses are placed in timetable module groups (1, 2, 3, or 4). Courses placed in the same group will be scheduled at the same hours in the timetable. To make sure there will be no collisions in your timetable you should only take one course from each timetable module, block, for each study period.

Campus

Education is conducted at the three main campuses in the cities of Linköping and Norrköping. A bus connects the campuses with a travel time of about 40 minutes.

LKPG indicates that the course is given in Linköping and NKPG that it is given at the Norrköping Campus. A few courses marked LKPG are given at the University Hospital Campus in Linköping - especially courses in biomedical engineering. Select all courses in one study period in either Norrköping or Linköping, or you will have problems getting to classes in time.

If you wish to select courses according to campus, you can also search for courses at a certain campus in the search engine.
