To study Freestanding courses

At Lund University, you have a unique opportunity to study psychology based on your interests and needs

The Department of Psychology offers a large number of independent courses of both 30 credits and 15 credits and courses that are taught full-time and half-time. The area courses (30 credits) have a clear anchoring within the department's research departments, while the theme courses (15 credits) have a more specialized focus on some labor market area. The range of courses offers great opportunity for creativity in the combination of courses, which increases your competitiveness in the labor market and in research. The Department of Psychology offers a number of freestanding courses in English.

The preliminary schedule for a course is published 4 weeks before the start of the course. Minor changes may occur thereafter. You can search for the current and previous schedule in TimeEdit by selecting the semester and searching for the course name or course code: TimeEdit | Lunds universitet

You can find the course code for a course that you are going to study in the syllabus or in Ladok.

Course litterature lists are available no later than 8 weeks before the start of the course. You can search for the current and previous course syllabus and course literature list in the LU Syllabus Database by searching for the course code: LU Syllabus Database

There may not be a course litterature list listed for the particular semester you are studying. Then it is the latest course literature list that still applies.

If you want to take a psychology course in English as part of your exchange semester/year, please contact your international coordinator at your home university for more information.

If you want to apply to the course on your own, you do so through Antagning.se
