Information for new students regarding Covid-19

Autumn term 2021 - distance or campus?

The university management and the SEDU Coronavirus group have started discussions about how education can be carried out at the start of the autumn term.

In May, we will prepare a formal basis for the Vice Chancellor’s decision in the matter. This being said, we anticipate we will want to await a possible formal lifting of distance study recommendations made by the Government and/or expert authorities. This will most likely not be made before the summer. Hence a decision may be delayed.

You can email us if you have further questions: masterprogramme@fhs.se
