Course Syllabus

Developments and updates of the course syllabi must remain within the allotted timetable frames in Local rules for first-cycle and second-cycle courses and examination and the internal timetable frames established at the School of Business and Economics:

• A course syllabus must be reviewed, decided and established ahead of each admission round opening. Exceptions are applied to literature revisions that can be made no later than eight weeks before the start of the course
• An internal timetable regarding the School of Business and Economics' course syllabus processes is established annually in relation to the respective admission rounds

Before a new course is created or a revision is carried out, the initiator, in consultation with the relevant programme directors, heads of department, other relevant stakeholders, and UA must consider the below.

• Availability of resources in terms of finance and personnel as well as HST consequences with head of department.
• For programme courses that change title and/or objectives and content, it needs to be aligned with the curriculum. Changing the title may need to be preceded by a revision of the programme syllabuses (note that this has a different timetable) and could also affect the Curricula mapping and the AoL-measurements.
• Before revising examination and test elements, a plan should be established for how students who have not completed the test elements in the course can complete them after the revision.
  • If the change to the test elements is of such magnitude that students who have not completed the course will not be able to complete it, the course should instead receive a new course code. This leads to the old version of the course plan being discontinued in accordance with applicable routines at the School of Business and Economics and in accordance with local regulations.
• If the course contains a main field of study established at another faculty, that faculty must be informed.
• That the new course or suggested revision is aligned with local regulations at Lnu
