Courses for exchange students Autumn semester 2020

The study term is divided in four quarters. Full time studies means studying 7,5 credits each quarter, adding up to 30 credits for the full term. Some of our courses are part-time, which means that it takes two quarters to finish a 7,5 credit course, but that you can study another 7,5 credit part-time course in the same quarter.
