When I have returned

Credit transfer

If you are going to credit your exchange studies within your programme, apply for credit as soon as you get home. Contact the academic director of your study programme and present the original certificate along with all the information you have collected on your clinical placement or the theoretical courses you have taken. The academic director reviews your documents and decides on credit transfer.

Compulsory MRSA screening

Only relevant to clinical students:

Due to the risk of introducing MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) in Sweden, all those who have come in contact with medical care abroad must undergo MRSA culture screening. Contact Occupational Health Services at 046-222 32 80 or email fhv_foretagshalsov [at] fhv [dot] lu [dot] se to arrange an appointment for MRSA screening.

Address: Occupational Health Services  (Swedish: Företagshälsovården), Gerdagatan 9, Lund

Evaluation of your exchange studies

Remember to write a travel report after you return. Your travel report is important as a source of inspiration for other students. You need to submit your travel report in order for the faculty’s travel grant to be paid. 

Submit your travel report here through Lund Universitety central webpage

As a returning exchange student to the Faculty of Medicine, you are expected to participate in information meetings on exchange studies and help to inspire more people to study abroad. The International Office will contact you.
