All faculties have taken the opportunity and received assistance from EduLab to develop and expand their range of courses and financial support. Now this opportunity will continue.
EduLab is intended to help innovate the courses and programmes on offer. By initiating development and creating cross-disciplinary, interdisciplinary and profession-oriented courses aimed at a broader student target group, we are reaching more and new groups while contributing to lifelong learning.
EduLab is now working on two major education projects. The first involves national coordination of the Government’s initiative on short courses for professionals with a focus on artificial intelligence (AI). EduLab is also coordinating Lund University’s own component of this AI initiative as well as the University’s component of Short Courses for Professionals: Open for the Climate 2.0 in 2025.
The second project is the new x-courses initiative – short interdisciplinary courses aimed at students who have already started their studies. The courses will be announced in the regular admission round on 15 April. Among the 36 courses developed by the faculties for the autumn 2025 semester, there are interesting clusters in areas such as AI, human rights, sustainability, culture, crises and resilience.
For the spring 2026 semester, eight additional new courses are planned. Through this initiative, the Education Board intends to highlight the University’s breadth and inspire students to take extra courses in highly topical subjects. It is great to see that this fast track for developing courses has really engaged widely and produced such good results.
I hope it will inspire further educational development going forward.
