Contract education
This is contract education
Contract education consists of courses and programmes offered by universities or higher education institutions for a fee to professionals in companies, authorities or organisations. The education has a disciplinary foundation and is adapted to the needs and conditions of the participants.
Contract education provides great opportunities
By engaging in contract education, you are disseminating research from the University and contributing to community development. It also gives you the opportunity to capture the rest of the world’s experiences and needs. The perspectives of external actors on research and teaching at Lund University contribute to continuously enhance the quality of our activities.
Contract education can also be widened to include other cooperation and research collaborations and contribute to the internationalisation of the University.
Types of contract education
Contract education can be run in various ways. We offer courses and programmes from Lund University’s general range of courses/programmes, and completely tailored ones. The length of the course/programme can be anything from an hour to three years, and teaching staff will often have the opportunity to travel outside Lund, sometimes also outside Sweden.
A large part of the contract education consists of open courses and programmes, which are created together with the departments. Participants can register for these irrespective of the organisation they belong to, as long as they are employed. We have listed our open contract education courses in a course catalogue, see below.
