Options in Swedish

Most courses in the Optometry programme are offered in Swedish only. Exchange students with a good command of Swedish or another Scandinavian language are welcome to apply for the courses presented.

All courses are full-time courses and require at least 40 hours of work per week. One study week is equivalent to 1.5 ECTS credits. The performance will be graded in accordance with the ECTS grading scale and on the basis of the student´s fulfilment of the learning outcomes stated in the course syllabus.

Each course is only given once every academic year in a given time period and most of the courses run in parallel. Hence, a student can only attend one course at a time. All courses end with an examination.
