Our courses
Linnaeus University offers a great selection of courses at both Bachelor’s and Master’s level. Courses are offered at full-time and part-time pace, both on campus and in distance learning format.
All programmes at the university consist of single-subject courses. The scope of a course is measured in credits and normally vary between 7.5 credits and 30 credits. Full-time studies equal 30 credits per semester and 60 credits per full academic year. Courses are offered both full- and part-time, on campus as well as in distance learning format and they are divided into Bachelor’s level and Master’s level.
Studying single-subject courses is a flexible way of studying and can also be a good way to try out university studies if you are new as a student. By taking single-subject courses you can build your own degree by combining courses to get a tailor-made education. In order to obtain a degree, half of your completed courses must be credits within one and the same main field of study, including specialisation and an independent degree project. As opposed to programmes, you must apply to courses each semester.
Bachelor’s level courses
Most students start studying single-subject courses at Bachelor’s level after completing their upper secondary school studies and these courses normally comprise the basic courses and continuation courses within the first 90 credits of a subject.
