Notes:
The academic year in Sweden is composed of 2 semesters, each one approximately twenty weeks long. Instead of credits, we use points in a similar way, there 1 point equals 1 week of full-time studies.

Courses with a suffix "A", is a course on the first level (basic course) of that subject. The suffix "B" is the level above (intermediate), "C" is for courses on graduate level and "D" is for postgraduate courses.
