Therefore, it is important to carefully check which week each course starts and ends. More information about the study duration can be found on the course web page: General Study Model Course changes are very restricted Note that course proposals will be fixed and binding so it is important to choose courses carefully. We have no add/drop period and course changes after the deadline are very restricted. The course selection must be approved by the home university . Course requirements The specific requirements and the study duration for each course is stated on the course web page and are found by clicking on the course name in the list of courses. The requirements are not recommendations; it is necessary to fulfil them. 30 ECTS equals full-time studies The number of credits a student can be admitted to is restricted to 30 ECTS per term, which equals full-time studies.

Normally there are no final exams that cover the entire term’s coursework or that cover an entire general study programme. This means that exams are not given at the end of the term, but rather at the end of each course. Exams may cover one or more credit points. More information about the Swedish study system can be found here: https://www.umu.se/en/education/study-system/ Credit system: Umeå University uses the European Credit Transfer System as its system of credits. 1.5 ECTS is the equivalent to one week of full-time study. Course load: One academic term comprises 20 weeks. Full-time study consist of 30 ECTS per term. This corresponds to approximately 40 hours of study per week including a varying number of lectures and classes. Most courses consist of 7.5, 15 or 30 ECTS. Students should not apply for several full-time (and day-time) courses that run during the same weeks because it may cause schedule conflicts. It is important to check the “Application and Eligibility” on the individual course page to find out the duration and tempo of the course. Are there restrictions on the types of courses our students may take?

A number of courses use only two grades: Pass or Fail. Others, for example in Law and Engineering, traditionally use scales with several levels – expressed as letters or numbers. No overall grade is given for a degree and students are not ranked. For comparison of grades, Umeå University has decided that the ECTS Grading Table (EGT) shall be used instead of the ECTS grading scale (A-F). Grade distribution will not show for courses established less than two years before the date when the student has completed his/her course. Student’s home university is responsible for any translation into their local grading system.
