Registration
From the day that you get the official message from www.studera.nu about your study position, you have a study place on the programme. To claim your study place, you have to appear in person at Växjö University. This is done by visiting the programme co-ordinator during the registration period, which is limited to about 10 days per semester. In 2009, the autumn semester starts August 31. If you haven't registered by then, you will lose your study place.

You must also register for the individual courses of the programme. This is done at the introductions of these courses. The first two courses are the same for both programmes: IV4014 (Scientific Methods in Informatics and Computer Science) and IV5044 (Managing Change Processes and Knowledge Resources). Check www.student.vxu.se/utbildning/kurser to find out the starting dates of the courses.

Before you go to Sweden, it is important that you have solved all necessary arrangements. Please find some practical information here - accommodation, how to get to Växjö, cost of living, visa and residence permit, scholarships, FAQ, and the Swedish academic system.
