Introduction and welcome letter

The autumn semester starts on September 2, 2024.

All our courses and programmes start with a mandatory introduction meeting. If you do not attend the meeting, you will lose your enrolment in the course. 

In good time before your programme starts, you will get a welcome letter from the department. If you are a master's student, the welcome letter will also contain instructions on how you select courses within your programme.

Sometimes our emails bounce or end up among your junk mails. If you have not received a welcome letter four weeks before the start of your programme, please contact our study adminstration.

Things to do as a newly admitted student

On the Lund University’s central web pages, you find general information about what you have to do as a newly admitted student. There you also find a student guide and practical information for your day-to-day life in Sweden.
