Contract education
Contract education is offered based on an established agreement with a company or other authority. The form of financing is different than for programme courses due to the educational assignment being regulated via agreement. However, the courses must always meet KTH's quality requirements and be quality-assured using KTH's regular quality system. This means, among other things, that a course syllabus must be established and a course analysis must be carried out.
Process for offering a contract education course
There are two options for giving a course:
1. Set up the course with credits - follow all the steps below.
2. Give a course without credits and outside of Canvas - follow steps 1-3 below. Please note that the participants do not receive a KTH account or course certificate
Before the course starts
1. Ensure that the director of studies for the division to which the course will belong is notified about the course.
2. Contact the person responsible for lifelong learning (LLA) at the school, lla@eecs.kth.se, to discuss the course's structure, funding and pricing.
3. Contact the school's agreement coordinator, avtal@eecs.kth.se, to establish an agreement between KTH and the company/client. Note that the company/client chooses the participants for the course. Assist with specifying the necessary prior knowledge and any diagnostic test of the prior knowledge.
Process for giving a course with credits
4. Fill in the decision template (in Swedish) "Bilagor - Inrättande av kurs inom uppdragsutbildning". The course must have a course code ending in U.
5. Send the completed template to kursplaner@eecs.kth.se together with a motivation for the establishment.
6. The syllabus is reviewed by the course syllabus reviewing committee (KPK).
7. The course is presented to the faculty board, which decides whether the course should be established or not.
8. If the faculty board approves the course, you will receive a notification from the school’s office of student affairs that the course is registered in Ladok.
9. The school’s office of student affairs ensures that a course offering is created so that students can be admitted and that a course room in Canvas is created.
10. The school’s office of student affairs admits and registers course participants in Ladok. Participants are synced to Canvas once they have been registered. Contact education-support@eecs.kth.se if external teachers/assistants are to be added to the course room in Canvas.
11. Course participants must activate their KTH accounts themselves, see information on Student web: KTH account .
After completing the course
1. Report the results in Ladok.
2. Make a course evaluation
3. Follow up the implementation of the course with the company/client.
