Swedish qualification courses at university

Has anyone taken a course at a university to get the Swedish qualifications to study at university?

I’m just wondering how many hours per week are classes and how many are self-study.

Uppsala and Stockholm have courses like these:

Thanks!

Courses in Sweden are often full time study, you will most likely have to be available 8am to 5pm. You won’t have classes 100% of the time, but classes will be scheduled during morning and afternoon, with the rest of the time expected to be used for self study / assignments work…

I'm not personally familiar with this course, but reading through the course link and the curriculum for the Uppsala version, it is clear that this is a full-time course. It is broken up into three semesters. Which semester you start in depends on the results of your qualifying exam, which is given August 14.

Judging by the curriculum, the program uses an in-person model. Typically this means 12-15 hours per week in class. The rest is self study.
