Do I get a holiday break as a university student?
At university in Sweden, you do not get an official holiday break. The autumn term runs from the start of the term until mid-January. However, you usually do not have any lectures or mandatory activities during the holiday season. Many students use this time to prepare for exams in January.

|
|
Do you need study support during the holidays?
Several study support services (e.g. Math help center and Language Resource Centre) are closed during the holidays, which means it may take longer to receive responses to bookings and emails.
