Programmes and programme syllabi

Establishing, revising or discontinuing programmes

Decisions to establish, revise or discontinue programmes are always made at faculty or University level. Therefore, always start by contacting the programme coordinator at the faculty office to set up a timetable.

The faculty’s regulatory documents provide more details on the procedures that apply at the Faculty of Social Sciences.

• Management rules for the establishment, revision and discontinuation of study programmes (PDF 245 kB)
• Guidance on grounds for assessment in reviewing new programmes for establishment, and instructions for the assessment group (PDF 300 kB, new tab)

Writing programme syllabi

On the Staff Pages there is a handbook (in Swedish) to guide you through the process. The handbook provides good examples, tips on wording, the reasoning behind the various parts of a programme syllabus and the regulatory background. Via the list of contents, you can click through to the section you want to find out more about.
