Uppsala University

Faculty

Number of Faculty Staff	Headcount: 2,347 FTE: 1,827
Total number of academic faculty staff who are responsible for planning, directing and undertaking teaching only, research only or both teaching and research. Please include: vice-chancellors, deputy vice-chancellors, principals, professors, heads of school, associate professors, principal lecturers, tutors or postdoctoral researchers. Please exclude research assistants*, PhD students who contribute to teaching, and exchange scholars or visiting faculty staff who are members of another university. * The important distinction for us is that staff counted as 'research only' should be academically involved in that research and should be likely to publish research outputs. A research assistant, in our understanding, is any individual who is not doing own research and is therefore not likely to publish own research outputs. Said individual is (only) involved in research in terms of operation execution , such as lab technician or equipment operator.

Number of academic faculty staff who are of foreign nationality. The term 'international' is hereby determined by citizenship. For EU countries, this includes all foreign nationals, even if from another EU state. In Hong Kong, this includes professors from Mainland China. Inclusion and exclusion mirrors those for academic faculty staff. In case of dual citizenship, the 'deciding' criteria should be 'citizenship obtained through birth', basically first passport obtained.

Range of Fees

Studying at Swedish universities is free of charge. However, all students must be able to pay for personal living expenses, cost of literature, insurance, student union fee etc in Sweden.

Living in Sweden is, however, quite expensive. One of the conditions for being granted a residence permit for studies by the Swedish Immigration Board (Migrationsverket) is that you must prove that you will have enough money to cover your whole stay in Sweden. The minimum sum required by the Swedish Immigration Board at present is SEK 7,300 per month, approx EUR 775 or USD 1,150 (January 2008), for at least 10 months of the year if you plan to study for a full year.

Basic TOEFL/IELTS requirements

Proof of your knowledge of English can be provided by e.g. one of the these international tests with the following minimum scores:

- TOEFL: mark 4.0 in the written test and a total score of 500 (paper-based test); mark 4.0 in essay writing and a total score of 173 (computer-based); mark 17 in the written test and a total score of 61 (Internet-based).
- IELTS: an overall mark of 5.0 (no section lower than 4.5).
- Cambridge EFL examination/tests (grade A or B)

Some students may be exempt from submitting formal test evidence:
- Students who have a Bachelor's degree from a university where English is the only language of instruction, according to the latest edition of International Handbook of Universities.
- Students who have a Bachelor's degree (a Swedish "Kandidatexamen" or equivalent academic qualifications) with English as the major subject.
- Students who have a Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Science or Technology from India or Pakistan.

Accommodation

Depending on the master programme you have been admitted to, the programme co-ordinator might possibly be able to assist their own master students in finding housing. Contact your programme co-ordinator soon after you receive your notification of admission but not later than June 8th to fill in a housing application. The University cannot guarantee housing to this category of students, however.

It is important to note that if housing is provided by your programme co-ordinator, it can normally only be used for one academic year. For programmes lasting longer than one year, students must secure housing for the following year on their own initiative. Some of the housing companies may have a waiting time, so you should apply as soon as possible to be offered a room in time for your second year. This is your own responsibility.

Accommodation Range

200-400 EUROS

Finance and Scholarships

There are no scholarships awarded by Uppsala University. The majority of international students are financially self-supporting.

A limited number of scholarships for master studies are awarded by the Swedish Institute (SI) and not all of the master programmes participate in SI programme. Please note that not all countries are eligible for the scholarships either. Applicants who would like to apply for one of the SI scholarships should include a separate application letter concerning the scholarship with their application to a master programme.

Entry Requirements

The basic entry requirements for the Master Programmes are:
1) A Bachelor's degree (equivalent to a Swedish “Kandidatexamen” 180 credits, i.e. approximately equivalent to a bachelor’s degree at a British university) from an internationally recognised university.
2) Proof of skills in English (see TOEFL requirements)
3) Specific requirements. Most study programmes and single subject courses have additional requirements. Since these vary from field to field, you need to read the course or programme description in question.
