Introduction
Pathway Semester English
Language skills and social competence are the two key factors - in addition to formal qualifications - for a successful career. The Pathway semester is designed to enable you to reach your full academic and social potential while in Sweden.
The programme is tailored for students with an IELTS score of at least 5.5 or equivalent (see requirements) who wish to improve their English proficiency and learn how to communicate in an academic environment. The course is also an introduction to Swedish society and culture as well as the Swedish language.
