Universities and university colleges.

What are universities and university colleges?

Swedish universities and university colleges offer many study programmes and single-subject courses .

The training is divided into three levels based on each other:

  • Basic level (three years)
  • Advanced level (one to two years)
  • Research level (two to four years)

The scope of a course or a training program is counted in higher education credits. One semester's full-time studies correspond to 30 higher education credits. A full-time academic year comprises 60 higher education credits.
All training within the college is compounded by courses. A course usually covers between 7.5 and 30 higher education credits.
