Course Syllabus Committee

The aim of the faculty-wide Course Syllabus Committee is to ensure that all course syllabi at the Faculty of Social Sciences are of good quality and satisfy legal requirements, as a part of the faculty’s quality assurance management.

The Course Syllabus Committee usually meets once a month and reviews the course syllabi that the departments wish to address.

In addition to this, the Course Syllabus Committee carries out spot checks with an aim to follow up the quality of the faculty’s course syllabi.

See the Swedish version of this page for a list of the committee's members.

Committee procedure

The guiding documents for the committee’s work is the Syllabus Writing Handbooks, available in Swedish on the university Staff Pages. These manuals provide support and guidance for those working on syllabuses.

Course and programme syllabuses can be sent to the committee for review and support before approval or revision. It is strongly recommended that the faculty-wide Course Syllabus Committee is used before new course syllabi are approved or undergo major revisions. To add a course to the agenda, please contact the Programme Coordinator at the Faculty Office at least one week before the next meeting. Course syllabuses must be accessible in Lubas.

After the committee has reviewed the course syllabi you will get written feedback.
