Distance learning
The Department of Economics has provided distance education since 1997. As of today, we offer
the general course (1-30 ECTS) as a distance course.
We also offer three different paces
Full time: All courses are completed in one semester
50%: All courses are completed in two semesters
25%: All courses are completed in four semesters
The courses offered as distance courses have the same names and the same number of credits as
courses offered on campus. A student who, for example, has completed the
first three courses on campus can complete the general course by taking the remaining course as a distance course.
The department has developed its own system for delivering distance courses called “Kommunikationsforum” (KF for short).
The system consist of a platform on the
Web for students, software to be used by teachers and administrators and a database connected to the main database for the university.
Distance courses are only offered in Swedish.
