The Pre-Bachelor's Preparation Programme is available as a three-term programme, with opportunity to progress to a select number of degree at Lund University and Kristianstad University. You will study your Pre-Bachelor's Preparation Programme at our state-of-the-art centre located at the heart of Lund's Botanical Gardens.

Who is this programme designed for?

This programme is designed to prepare international students for undergraduate study in Sweden. The PBPP will allow you to improve your English while learning the study skills you will need during your Bachelor's degree studies. 

How long will I study for?

This programme lasts one academic year (nine months). The year is divided into three terms of seven to eight teaching weeks and one examination week. On average, you will undertake 21 (and up to 25) hours of classroom-based study per week.

English Language forms up to six hours of your timetable, is compulsory for students who are below the required level for progression, and will be integrated into the teaching of academic subjects as well as being taught separately if you need additional support. Students who are at or above the required English level for progression are likely to follow a reduced timetable. 

Students will be expected to timetable self-study hours in addition to the classroom-based hours.

How will I be assessed?

Each module will have an assessment schedule, which will be completed by the end of the appropriate term, and will include formative and summative assignments and other assessment tasks. 

You will receive tailored support from the ONCAMPUS team with your application to Lund University, or Kristianstad University.

Modules

Students will focus on their academic subjects from September of the year they join to January of the following year (such as Maths, Physics) and then the Undergraduate skills modules from January to June.

Students applying for university in Sweden must have submitted their university application by January of the year of university entry, and as such, the PBPP is heavily weighted at the start of the year with academic subjects to ensure students have the best possible chance of meeting the entry criteria by the time they need to apply to university.

  • Academic writing skills
  • Academic reading skills development

  • Listening and note taking
  • English for specific purposes
