The site for all Swedish university studies is antagning.se (there is an English version you can get to). Some Swedish schools have 100% credit transfers between other Nordic schools but particularly Finnish ones because there are sometimes not enough classes on a subject in Finland itself to allow the Finnish students to get a degree without taking courses from Sweden.
Hej!
I am doing degree program in Sweden. I want to skip several in-person courses that can easily be done online (Metropolia, XAMK have exactly what I need). Do you know if the Swedish universities will accept those courses/credits?
I can see the answers around overall degress... I can't find information about individual courses...and would they accept ones from online courses like at XAMK? Any resources on that?
It also seems like the credits don't ever match up!?
Example -
Economics. Sweden. 7.5 credits.
Economics Finland 5 ECTS. (Same course, materials, outcomes and expected study hours)
Any insight and advice is appreciated
Note: I also am aware that a specific uni may or may not accept credits for their own reasons, saying a course was not equivalent, or not same standards. That would be a case by case...rather than a systemic question.
Swedish schools do case by case for work done in Finland and vice versa from when I posed this question to XAMK & University of Helsinki. YMMV.
