Antal poäng per termin vid utbytesstudier / Credit requirements for exchange studies, per semester
Universiteten runt om i världen har olika sätt att redovisa studierna, olika poängsystem gäller i olika länder och ibland kan det dessutom skilja sig
beroende på vilket lärosäte i ett visst land du befinner dig på. För att kunna tillgodoräkna dig dina studier utomlands som heltid, 30 högskolepoäng per
termin, måste du vara säker på att du tar så många poäng (credits/units) som Lunds universitet förväntar sig att du ska ta. Du ska alltså följa våra
rekommendationer, inte värduniversitetets, om vad som räknas som heltidsstudier.
Om du läser inom EU, eller i Norge, Schweiz, Turkiet och Island, tillämpas ECTS-‐systemet. Då tillgodoräknas 1 ECTS som 1 högskolepoäng. Heltidsstudier
alltså lika med 30 ECTS per termin.
Här nedan följer en lista över de lärosäten LU och N-‐fak har avtal med och vad som räknas som heltid på respektive lärosäte. Vi har inte platser till alla
lärosäten alla terminer -‐ listan visar således inte vilka lärosäten du kan åka till.
Har du frågor om tillgodoräknande och heltidsstudier ska du i första hand vända dig till din studievägledare.
ENGLISH: Universities around the world have different ways to present the studies, different grading systems in different countries and sometimes also
different grading systems depending on which institution in a particular country you are in. To be credited for your studies abroad as full-‐time in our
system, 30 hp (högskolepoäng/credits) per semester, you must make sure you take as many points (credits/units) that Lund university expects you to
take. You must therefore follow our recommendations, not the host university, about what we count as full-‐time studies.If you're studying in the EU or
in Norway, Switzerland, Turkey and Iceland, the ECTS system applies -‐ full-‐time studies thus equal 30 ECTS per semester.
Below is a list of universities Lund University and the Faculty of Science have agreements with, and what counts as full-‐time at each institution. We
don’t have exchange places to all universities every semester, hence the list does not show which university you can go to.
If you have questions regarding transferring credits and full-‐time studies, you should first and foremost talk to your study counselor.
