About UISS

The UISS is Sweden's oldest and largest summer language program. With over 50 years of experience, we offer a well-developed curriculum. Nowhere in Sweden will you find such an intensive summer program with such a rich choice of courses. The UISS organizes excursions that allow our students to visit sites around Sweden and to experience Swedish culture, history, and society first hand.

People come to Uppsala from all over the world and though the majority are students, we also have quite a number of professionals, such as teachers, interpreters, translators and business people.
