Distance-learning Master’s programmes and courses

The orientation programme 24-28 August 2026

During the orientation programme, you will receive valuable information about Sweden and studying at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. The programme is designed for international master's and bachelor's students, as well as exchange students. While attendance is not compulsory, we strongly recommend that you take part, as it provides essential insights into studying in Sweden, along with the opportunity to meet fellow students and enjoy some fun activities.

The orientation programme will be organised partly online and partly on campus.
