The Word templates are available for both desktop Word and Word Online, in both Swedish and English.

All documents published through Linnaeus University's digital channels must meet accessibility requirements. The university’s document templates are designed to comply with these standards, providing a solid foundation when creating new documents.

General document template

This template is intended for shorter reports and can be used by both students and staff at Linnaeus University. It includes a cover page, table of contents, and correct typography.

Use the styles LNU-Heading 1, LNU-Heading 2 and LNU-Heading 3 for headings, and LNU-Normal-Times 11 for body text. Remember to update the table of contents when your text is complete.

Note: Do not use this template for degree projects (bachelor’s, one-year master’s, or two-year master’s theses). Use the Thesis template instead. For doctoral theses, use the Doctoral thesis template.
