The Program
The Sweden program offers students the opportunity to enroll at Växjö University for one semester or the year, in a wide range of courses taught in English. Students can take courses in such areas as Education, Engineering, Health Sciences and Social Work, Humanities, Management and Economics, Mathematics and Systems Engineering, Science, and Social Science.
Students have the option of taking Introductory Swedish for Exchange Students in addition to their normal study program. Although most people in Sweden speak at least some English, we strongly recommend you take this optional course, as it will help you to assimilate better into Swedish life, and you will find the Swedes appreciate your effort to speak their language.
Students begin their stay in Växjö with an orientation to the university, region, and country, and field trips and social activities. At the conclusion of this program, students begin their regular coursework.
The Växjö program has a Program Coordinator who is responsible for the overall operations of the program abroad: securing appropriate student housing, hiring outstanding faculty, and overseeing the students' well being.
Ingela Åberg is the Program Coordinator for the Sweden program. She and the International Office staff will arrange your housing, assist you with registration and provide an on-site orientation.
