Good to know
- The courses are only available for students at Uppsala University.
- If you have prior knowledge of Swedish, but haven't taken a Basic Swedish course before at UU, we recommend you to take the diagnostic test. This way, you can get placed in one of the higher levels directly.
- If you have taken a course (Swedish for Academics or Basic Swedish) at the Department of Scandinavian Languages before, you don't need to write the diagnostic test to apply for the next level.
- If you participate in a Basic Swedish course this semester, you should apply directly and do not need to wait for the exam results to apply to the next semester.
- If you are a beginner in Swedish, you do not need to write the diagnostic test. Apply to Basic Swedish 1.
- The selection is done on a first come, first serve basis.
If you have a question, please send an email to basic@nordiska.uu.se.
