Main fields of study

The subjects that you can take at various levels at a university are called main fields of study. Main fields of study may be taken at Bachelor or Master (60 credits or 120 credits) level.

Please note that there are some main fields of study that cannot be studied at the moment. The teaching is conducted mainly in Swedish, but there are also courses and programmes taught in English.
