Autumn semester

Most courses offered at the Faculty of Law are on master’s level. In order to follow these courses students must have successfully completed 150 ECTS law school studies at University level.

For those who only have 60 ECTS law school studies at University level we offer these following courses on bachelor level:

Course offer

All exchange students are expected to study full time during their stay in Sweden. That corresponds to 30 ECTS per semester. All semesters are divided into two study periods, and every period runs for 10 weeks. 

On top of that you are allowed to take the 3 ECTS introductory course in Swedish (SUSA) and one 7,5 ECTS course in Swedish for exchange students (SVEE), one 7,5 ECTS course in Special Area Studies (SAS) or 5 ECTS X-course.

X-courses are perfect to get the chance to try something outside your main field of study or deepen your knowledge even more. The courses cover various current societal issues, allowing you to apply your knowledge in your studies, future career, and everyday life.

How to choose my courses?

Make sure that you select a 1st, 2nd and 3rd hand course options per study period of totally 15 ECTS for each option. This is because you are not automatically accepted to or guaranteed a seat at the courses you apply for, since there are limited spots for each course.

It is important that you fulfill the entry requirements for all courses you apply for. Nominated exchange students apply for courses for the autumn semester during 1 April – 15 April.

You apply online using SoleMove.

Courses offered by other faculties

Exchange students coming on an exchange agreement through the Faculty of Law, are required to take at least 15 ECTS within the Faculty of Law. You may include courses up to 15 ECTS offered outside of our faculty in your application.

Lund University offers more than 300 courses taught in English across a wide range of subjects that are suitable for exchange students. However, keep in mind that you will not be prioritized or guaranteed admission to these courses. Therefore, you also must apply to at least 15 ECTS of alternative courses given at the Faculty of Law for each study period.
