When preparing for studies abroad, we recommend that you also prepare yourself thoroughly for the language of instruction. The Department of Language and Literature has several introductory courses. In addition it is recommended that you continue to study the language after arrival.

Language scholarship

If you are already eligible for receiving financial support from the State Educational Load Fund, you can apply for en extra scholarship if undertaking education or language courses abroad in another language than English. Get in touch with the State Educational Loan Fund if this applies to you.
