Academic year
• Two semesters (termin): autumn, höst (ht 14): Sept 01 - Jan 18
spring, vår (vt 15): Jan 19 – June 07
• Each semester divided into two periods, P1 (week 36-43)
P2 (week 44-03)
P3 (week 04-12)
P4 (week 12-23)
• Courses usually last one period
• ECTS points: 1 Swedish point (hp) = 1 ECTS credit point
1 full semester = 30 credit points
Courses
• You do not need to register ‘at the University’ (done)
• List of physics courses www.physics.uu.se/en/page/courses
• You must register for each course you want to take!
If you want to take a course outside your learning agreement
first contact Rabab. Registration for a course takes 1-2 weeks.
• You must also register for the exam! www.physics.uu.se/en/page/exams
• Grades given according to both Swedish and ECTS grading systems at the
dept. of Physics and Astronomy. Not general on the University.
Laboratory work
• There are no independent laboratory courses
• Typical structure of a course:
lectures, problem sessions, and laboratory work
(föreläsningar, lektioner, laborationer)
• Labs are part of a course. You will not get the grade/credits for a
course if you do not finish the lab work.
• Laboratory space is restricted so do not skip your allocated
time/date. If you cannot attend, talk to the teacher well in
advance.
Timetables
• On the department home page www.physics.uu.se
under Education/Undergraduate you find information about
programs, courses, exams, and schedules.
• The schedules of individual courses are listed under
http:// schema.uu.se
and from there Search reservations/Current timetables
Changes to learning agreement
• Changes can be made to the learning agreement
• For us (UU) there is no problem (if places are
available)
• Check with your home coordinator if he/she
accepts the changes
• Carla must sign the corrected agreement before
you leave; wait until the end, so all changes are
in
Projects
• Some divisions offer ‘physics projects’ that give ECTS points.
• Here you are on your own: talk to the group which offers the
project and find out what the conditions are.
• Also, projects must be registered. Contact physics course
adminstration. A special form is used. It must be signed by the
supervisor.
What next
• Enjoy your stay….
• At the end of your stay: be aware of what your university requires
from us (certificates, signed forms…).
• UU does not require anything from you at the end of your studies
• We shall send you a ‘transcript of records’ to your home address
• This can take some time after you leave, depending on how long
time is needed to register the final results.
Check https://www.studentportalen.uu.se regularly.
At the end of stay check that your results are properly
recorded.
