  • Course based on other courses; program courses or contract education.

Be in good time. By the end of April, you need to have applied to start courses given during the spring semester the following year. At the end of October, you apply for courses to be offered in the autumn. The exact dates may vary between schools and years. What

2. Fill in the templates for a decision on establishing a course. If you create an LL course from an existing course, you don’t have to fill in the templates again. 

In the templates (Swe) , fill in the reason for establishing a course, the syllabus and a brief description of the course, among other things. Fill in both documents "Beslut" and “Bilaga". 

The Director of Studies supplements with course code, course-giving unit, subject group, the main field of study and, if necessary, special eligibility requirements. The form is then sent to the review committee.
