09 - Sweden - Organisation of the academic year
The universities and the university colleges decide how the school year is organised.
Courses
are measured by a 'higher education credit' system. The academic year
is normally divided into two terms, each comprising 30 higher education
credits. The autumn term begins in the middle or end of August and
finishes in the middle of January, and the spring term begins in the
middle of January and finishes at the beginning of June. Additional
courses are often offered during the summer months.
The
institutions for higher education are usually open all year, except for
on national holidays. The timing of vacations, examination periods and
other breaks vary between institutions and are decided upon by the HEI.
