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.

Schedule clashes

Some clashes are fine while others are not.

This is how we recommend that you analyse your schedule:

  • Laboratory session
    Usually not a problem! Teachers book several sessions but you'll only lab once a week or so.
    Talk to your teacher on the first day of classes to get placed in the lab group that fits your schedule the best.
  • Lecture/exercise
    It's doable if it's only a few clashes all together, but not more than that.
  • Exam/presentation
     Absolutely no clashes allowed.
