Education in Swedish as a Second Language
Karlstad University offers courses in Swedish as a Second Language at first cycle level (1-90 ECTS credits). Swedish as a Second Language A can be studied on campus as an evening course or as a distance course, while the remaining courses are only held as distance courses. Swedish as a Second Language A and B can be studied either as complete 30 ECTS credit courses or as freestanding courses of 7.5 ECTS credits, while Swedish as a Second Language C is studied as a complete 30 ECTS credit course. We also offer the course Language and Knowledge Developing Methods for Multilingual Pupils, 7.5 ECTS credits, as a summer course to students training as teachers and already practicing teachers. All courses have 50% study pace, except the summer course. This means that it is possible to combine studies with work.
We also offer various courses in Swedish as a foreign language for international students.
