local train to Uppsala. The train ride takes
about 40 minutes.
Late Arrivals
All expected late arrivals must be in agreement
with your Contact Person. The department
is not obliged to wait for you
since Swedish universities do not implement
rolling registration. Several master
programmes begin with an important introduction
course that lays the foundations for
continued study. Missing this course can in
some cases mean postponing your studies
for up to one year, which, in that case, even
means re-applying.
orientation week
orientation Week for international students
is organized by the uppsala Student
union and the International Committee.
during this week you can get a temporary
student Id card which allows you to enter
the nations. You can also participate in
activities and get a good tour of the town
and see what the student life has to offer
you in uppsala. It is also an excellent way
to make new friends.
