Programmes and courses

Studying law at Uppsala

Our law degree is one of Sweden's most popular study programmes. Based on a problem-oriented learning model, the programme provides sought-after knowledge of both traditional law and newer, specialist fields. After graduation, there are ample job opportunities in a variety of areas calling for legal expertise.

Within the Law Programme, several interesting courses are offered. Freestanding courses are also available. The programme courses are at two levels: basic, undergraduate (first-cycle or bachelor’s) and advanced, postgraduate (second-cycle or master’s), with scope for in-depth and extensive study. Freestanding courses are taught at basic level. During the three semesters (7–9) of advanced studies, programme students can select their own combination of compulsory and optional, in-depth courses and their degree (dissertation) project.

Admission to the Land Management Programme, specialising in Law and focusing on law and urban and regional planning, could be another option. The purpose of this programme – which, like the Law Programme, is based on problem-oriented teaching – is to educate lawyers who will take part in the legal aspects of the urban development process, providing legally sustainable solutions and process management.
