Internationalisation of Programmes

Study abroad
Depending on the study programme, our students have different opportunities to study abroad. Information for programmes taught in Swedish. Information for programmes taught in English.

Exchange studies – Studies at one of Linnaeus University’s or the School of Business and Economics’ partner universities.
Double Degree – Some programmes have the possibility to do a double degree at some selected partner universities. When completed, the student will be awarded their programme degree as well as a general degree from the partner university.
Free mover – Students can, if they wish and on their own, find a university outside the partnerships available.

Internship abroad
Some programmes have an internship course. This internship is possible to do abroad. Depending on the location and duration of the internship, it can be possible to apply for scholarships through Erasmus.

Degree project abroad
Students can, if their supervisor approves, do their degree projects abroad. Swedish students can apply to do a Minor Field Study as well.

Internationalisation at home (IaH)
International students as well as international teachers are important for us so that all our students will encounter an international environment. Incoming international students of all categories share the classroom with national students. It is also possible to invite colleagues from other universities to come and teach. At External Relations, the Office for International Relations can assist with funds for inbound teaching mobility.

Course evaluations

Routines and policy documents

When a course is completed, including all credits and modules, a digital survey will be sent out. Students can, if they wish, see previous surveys for the course by contacting ekonomihogskolan@lnu.se.

Survey & report

The university uses a system called Survey & Report to conduct course evaluations.

Examinations and grading

Local rules for courses and examination

Examiners

Before each semester examiners for the courses are decided.

Ladok

Ladok is the administrative support system used at the university for student related activities. For teaching staff, the system is used to report the students' grades.

Grading

The grading scale used fro the courses given at the School of Business and Economics is A-F or G/U (pass/fail). Instructions can be found in Grading and reporting rules at the School of Business and Economics.

Students with a passing grade on an examination cannot re-do the examination for a higer grade. Changes to a grade can only be made if there has been an error in the reporting (a total has been calculated wrong for example), Only the examiner for a course can change a certified course grade. Instructions can be found on the Ladok site.

Written exams (not take-home or digital)

If a course has a written exam (not take-home or digital), it must be communicated to the responsible administrator at ekonomihogskolan@lnu.se in order to book and arrange the exam.

These written exams are anonymised, which means that the student will only use a code on the examination. The student will be provided with the code when signing up for the exam.

Other types of exams are organised by the teacher/teachers involved in the course.

Alternative selection (Tessan/Malin)
