Lunds Universitet

Take a swedish language course. It happens often to take classes which lectures are given only in swedish. You can always read english books, but following lectures would of course imply less work.

Yes : homework is the only thing assessed almost. Consequently : loss of interset of the courses

Choose at least one of the scandinavian studies courses independently of what your main studies might be. I think they give a very good insight in scandinavian life, culture and history

Well, it deserves recommedation to keep nagging the heads of departments when they at first feel that you do not meet the requirements for the courses; in the end they are very likely to give in, which will give you a great opportunity to do some really interesting AND challenging courses (although in general you will not have too much work on your hands... enough time to enjoy the exchange experience!)

Percentages for grades; facilitates the calculation of any other type of grade than the good/very good Swedish system.

the courses are quite small only around 30 students. The courses are organised by two or more professors. They are always very helpful, so you can ask them any time …and there are all english speaking so swedish ist not really necessary to learn!! It is quite different from German universities, every is organised you will know exactly which book you have to study, a lot of project work, essays and presentations…different but perhaps also a little bit better than the German system!

It was perfect!!

Swedish university courses pay much attention to presentations, much more than to written exams (compared to Germany only).
