Web registration period: 26 August – 2 September

You register for the course in Ladok for students. Please use your student ID to log in.

In our checklist for new students you will find information on student account, how to register and related subjects.

NB! Attending the introductory meeting does not mean that you are registered for the course. It is therefore not enough to attend the introductory meeting to be enrolled on the course, but you must also do your web registration in Ladok.

Entry requirements, please look at the syllabus. If you have a conditional admission, you may not be able to do self-registration. Please contact your study adviser (see contact information below) to get an individual assessment and help with registration, but make an attempt first. 

Schedule, course literature, learning platform and more

Please find links to schedule, course literature, syllabus and login page to our learning platform Canvas on the page for literature and syllabi.

Canvas consists of course pages and every course has its own course page. Here you will find all information during the course. You will get access to the course in Canvas once your teacher has published the course page, which usually takes place a few days before the course start.

On the website Current students you will find shortcuts to Ladok, Canvas, Webmail and International Desk. Here you can also read about different events and last but not least you will find the link to Your digital study environment, which offers great support about e.g. Zoom, Canvas and study techniques.
