Semester dates

The academic year in Sweden is divided into two semesters. A full academic year corresponds to 60 credits, thus, one semester corresponds to 30 credits. Furthermore, one semester corresponds to 20 weeks and one week corresponds to 40 hours of study. Each week of full-time study is worth 1.5 credits. The Faculty of Social Science divides each semester into four study periods (7,5 credits per period).
