Autumn 2023 and spring 2024
Here, you can find courses that are open for incoming exchange students at the Faculty of Science.
Semesters and periods
The academic year at Lund University is divided into the Autumn and Spring semesters (or terms). Each semester is divided into two periods. Most courses run over one or two full periods (give or take a few days).
Autumn semester 2023
- Period 1: 28 August – 29 October
- Period 2: 30 October – 14 January (Christmas break is 21 December – 5 January, preliminary)
Spring semester 2024 (preliminary)
