The 2023 autumn term will start with some activities during the introduction week on 21-25 August. There will be two information meetings (on Monday and Tuesday) and then individual meetings with each student (Wednesday to Friday). You can find a preliminary schedule for the introduction week further down on this page. The courses start the week after the introduction week, from August 28.
Note that it is mandatory to attend the roll call on August 21, 13.00 - 15.00 and an individual meeting later in the week. If for some reason you are unable to attend, contact Bengt JonssonLinks to an external site. as soon as possible (before the missed meeting) to discuss if there are any possibilities to proceed. The roll call will be held at the Ångström Laboratory campus, house 10, at 13.00, in room 101142.
During the individual meeting you will talk to the programme coordinator to discuss your study plan, select courses for the autumn term and finalise enrollment. Students with a conditional offer of enrollment must have provided the necessary documents to the University admissions ahead of time, as per the separate instructions that you should have received. The schedule for these meetings will be arranged after the roll call on August 21. You must have completed your course selection and enrollment in an individual meeting before the orientation week is over on August 25.
Courses: On Tuesday, 22 August, at 13.00 in 101127, you will be given practical information around courses and some brief presentations of the "recommended" courses for the autumn. Note that you are not required to take all the courses that are marked as recommended for the programme (and indeed you shouldn't if you have already taken a similar course in your bachelor's). The programme syllabus lists several optional courses that can be taken instead, and it is sometimes possible to take courses that are not in the programme syllabus at all.
To participate in the programme it is very important that you have a student account. You can read more about getting a student account hereLinks to an external site..
For hundreds of years, the student nations have been a central part of student life for many. Uppsala's 13 student nations regularly organize events to welcome new students and then throughout the year. Read more about student nations hereLinks to an external site., hereLinks to an external site., and hereLinks to an external site.. The student nations will post information on their web pages about welcoming activities over the summer.
On Wednesday, Aug. 23, a social activity is organized: using the museum steam train LennakattenLinks to an external site. from Uppsala train station to the village Marielund, about 15 km from Uppsala. The train leaves at TBA from track 10, on the east side of the station. In Marielund we will socialise and have some fun and games. A light lunch and refreshments will be served. Students in the masters programme in computer science are also invited, We'll be back in Uppsala at about TBA
Before your meeting, think carefully about the courses that you want to take and fill in a study plan. You must now select courses for the autumn 2023. You are also encouraged to plan future courses for your entire program. During the meeting we will discuss (and possibly revise) your choices for the autumn, and then finalise course registration.
