LiU Summer Academy - course information

There are six courses available at LiU Summer Academy. These courses offer an insight into disciplines and research areas that LiU excels at while also providing insights from the Swedish context. All courses are taught entirely in English and are full-time courses, hence you may only take one course for the entire summer period.

Each course has a limited number of places. This not only ensures a high quality experience in the classroom, as students' learning potential is maximised, but it also enables close contact between students and teachers and other staff members.

Entry Requirements: To meet the general entry requirements, students must have completed one year of full-time studies (passed 60 ECTS credits or equivalent upon application) and be nominated by one of LiU's partner universities.
