spring, vår (vt 15): Jan 19 – June 07

• Each semester divided into two periods, P1 (week 36-43)

P2 (week 44-03)

P3 (week 04-12)

P4 (week 12-23)

• Courses usually last one period

• ECTS points: 1 Swedish point (hp) = 1 ECTS credit point

1 full semester = 30 credit points

Courses

• You do not need to register ‘at the University’ (done)

• List of physics courses www.physics.uu.se/en/page/courses

• You must register for each course you want to take!

If you want to take a course outside your learning agreement

first contact Rabab. Registration for a course takes 1-2 weeks.

• You must also register for the exam! www.physics.uu.se/en/page/exams

• Grades given according to both Swedish and ECTS grading systems at the

dept. of Physics and Astronomy. Not general on the University.

Laboratory work

• There are no independent laboratory courses

• Typical structure of a course:

lectures, problem sessions, and laboratory work

(föreläsningar, lektioner, laborationer)

• Labs are part of a course. You will not get the grade/credits for a

course if you do not finish the lab work.

• Laboratory space is restricted so do not skip your allocated

time/date. If you cannot attend, talk to the teacher well in

advance.

Timetables

• On the department home page www.physics.uu.se

under Education/Undergraduate you find information about

programs, courses, exams, and schedules.

• The schedules of individual courses are listed under

http:// schema.uu.se

and from there Search reservations/Current timetables

Changes to learning agreement

• Changes can be made to the learning agreement

• For us (UU) there is no problem (if places are

available)

• Check with your home coordinator if he/she

accepts the changes

• Carla must sign the corrected agreement before

you leave; wait until the end, so all changes are

in

Projects

• Some divisions offer ‘physics projects’ that give ECTS points.

• Here you are on your own: talk to the group which offers the

project and find out what the conditions are.

• Also, projects must be registered. Contact physics course

adminstration. A special form is used. It must be signed by the

supervisor.

What next

• Enjoy your stay….

• At the end of your stay: be aware of what your university requires

from us (certificates, signed forms…).

• UU does not require anything from you at the end of your studies

• We shall send you a ‘transcript of records’ to your home address

• This can take some time after you leave, depending on how long

time is needed to register the final results.

Check https://www.studentportalen.uu.se regularly.

At the end of stay check that your results are properly

recorded.
