Programme Outline

The programme starts with an introductory course of 5 credits: Advanced Computer Science Studies in Sweden. This course will provide you with the cultural and practical knowledge that you need for a successful study. As a part of this course, you will get a short presentation of the courses in period 1 and 2, and meet with a student counsellor to make your final choice of courses for these periods.

Year 1

During the first year of the programme, you normally take 10 courses, of 5, 7.5 or 10 credits. We expect most students to choose courses from the list below. These courses are taught in English. Other courses may be available to fill gaps in your background knowledge, or to proceed further in a particular area.

Note that courses will be taught in the indicated periods only. You must take this into account if you plan your studies. Putting such a plan in your letter of intent is appropriate, and it sends a strong signal to us that you are a serious applicant. The links below are to teaching plan of courses, so if you would like to read more information about courses, please search at http://www.it.uu.se/edu/search. You may find previous instances of some courses during the academic year 2009 there.
