Study plan
- To be accepted for exchange studies at LTH, you must follow a full-time study plan of 30 credits each semester.
- Aim for a well-balanced study plan with an average workload of 15 credits in each study period.
Course disposition
The illustration below shows an example of how you can divide your courses over a study year. One example is four courses á 7.5 credits per semester. Another example is one course á 15 credits, and two courses á 7.5 credits each per semester. A third option is two courses á 15 credits per semester.
Course selection
- Explore the available courses under “Find exchange courses” in the menu.
- Engineering students: You are allowed to combine courses freely from different engineering programs.
- Verify the prerequisites and assumed prior knowledge for each course and generate your schedule.
- Architecture and Industrial design students: Follow the instructions regarding course selection and portfolio under Courses in Architecture/Industrial Design.
Course changes
Keep in mind that changing courses requires a lot of work for teachers and staff. The deadline for changing courses is 5 January for Spring, and 13 August for Autumn. For more information: Key Dates
If you need to apply for new courses, do the following:
- Engineering students: Send a course request to incoming@lth.lu.se . In the e-mail you should include: course code, course name and the eligibility form for the new course.
- Architecture and Industrial Design: Send a course request to incoming@lth.lu.se. In the e-mail you should include: course code and course name.
You should have in mind:
- Carefully plan your study choices, as the Faculty of Engineering LTH does not have an Add & Drop courses period.
- Changes to the study plan for the semester after the deadline are generally not accepted.
- Remember to discuss your course choices with your home university for validation before including alternative courses.
Confirmation and registration
- Once your study plan is confirmed, you’ll be able to see the final course application result in SoleMove.
- Approved courses will be registered in the Lund University study documentation system (Ladok).
- Additional information will be provided after your arrival in Lund.
