Information
Lund University is in Lund, a city in the south of Sweden and about 15 kms from the sea. This part of Sweden is very close to Denmark and Germany. The closest international airport is Copenhagen airport (Kastrup) in Denmark. It is a 45 minute train journey from Copenhagen airport to Lund, via the Öresund Bridge and Malmö. Lund is very close to Sweden's 3rd largest city, Malmö. Lund is Sweden's 8th largest city. The summer course is taught at the main campus located in the centre of the city just a 5 minutes walk from the railway station.

Description
The European Union has recently experienced an unprecedently large wave of enlargement, as in 2004 and 2008 12 countries became EU members. This move will certainly affect the future of the Union in ways that are yet to be discerned. The present course wants to illuminate the relationship between the traditional, "old" Europe and the new member states (e.g. Poland, Czech Republic, Romania), and the new opportunities but also challenges that mark the relations between the enlarged EU and its new neighbours (Russia, Ukraine, Turkey). Aspects of identity, culture, history and political processes will be examined in order to venture different answers to the question: How will the Europe of tomorrow look like?
Included parts
- Presentation, 3 credits
- Inlämningsuppgift, 4.5 credits
Note!
This course is not open as a freestanding course next semester. It can be open for application within a programme or for students in an exchange programme. Please ask your academic advisor for information.
How to apply
Lund University uses a national application system run by University Admissions in Sweden. It is only possible to apply during the application periods: October–January for autumn semester and June–August for spring semester.
Extended application deadline
Sometimes the application deadline is extended for a specific programme or course. In these cases you will find the message "open for late application" by the programme/course information on universityadmissions.se. You apply with the usual application steps. As long as this message is showing, it is possible to apply, but late applications are processed in order of date, so it is still important to apply as soon as possible. Please note that if the programme/course does not have an extended deadline, it is not possible to apply late.
First or Second Admission Round?
All international students are encouraged to apply to the First admission round. This round takes place many months before the start of a semester and gives students the time they need to pay their tuition fees, apply for and receive their residence permit (if required), find housing, etc.
The Second admission round is an alternative for students from EU/EEA countries as they do not need a residence permit. Non-EU/EEA students will most likely not have enough time to obtain their permit before the start of the semester. However, even EU/EEA students are advised to apply during the First admission round, as some programmes can be applied for only in the January round. Also, this provides applicants with an admission decision much earlier, which is helpful in making decisions about their studies.
Tuition Fees
Non-EU/EEA citizens
Citizens of a country outside of the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland are required to pay tuition fees. You pay one instalment of the tuition fee in advance of each semester.

Application fee
