Why LiU’s winter courses?

Sweden is known for its cold, snowy and dark winters. Why then study there during that time?

LiU’s winter courses will give you the perfect chance to study courses you are genuinely interested in. Most of our winter courses are part of LiU’s degree programmes, which ensures their high quality. They are taught in a truly multi-cultural and challenging environment including Swedish and international students.

On the fun side of things, Linköping is notorious for its vibrant student life, while winter snow offers a variety of fun possibilities, including all kinds of winter sports. More about what's there to do in Linköping in Visit Linköping’s site.

Winter courses could also be an excellent opportunity to travel and explore. The big Scandinavian cities (Oslo, Stockholm, Gothenburg, Copenhagen, etc.) are just a train away while the whole of Europe comes closer through the Linköping City airport, with three daily flights to Amsterdam, and the Skavsta airport, with low-cost flights to popular European destinations!
