THE UNIVERSITY OF OppORTUNITIES

Halmstad University is a popular institution o highereducation. We are known or a wide range o coursesand our special atmosphere. Te thresholds are not highhere. Tere is diversity and a wide range o choices, atthe same time with a tangible proximity. Proximity between students and teachers, between subjects and

between the University and other players in society.

Our research is outstanding and has achieved inter-national renown in many areas. Collaboration betweenpeople, between organisations and cultures is bothimportant and enriching, or both the individual andor society. Collaboration is absolutely necessary orresearch and development to make progress. It is equally important that the knowledge that is developed here, atHalmstad University and at other institutions o highereducation, can be used by society.

HALMSTAD UNIVERSITYHalmstad University became an indeendent institution o hiher education in 1983.

But the rst courses were launched in the early 1970s.

Ever since the beginning, collaboration has been one o the characteristics o Halmstad University. Our interac-tion with companies, associations, municipalities, county councils, schools and other players in the eld o edu-cation and research is extensive. Every day there is coop-eration in various orms: projects, mentoring, guestspeakers, work placements, degree projects and essays.

Tis is why we say that Halmstad University is theuniversity o opportunities, where you have unique andinspirational possibilities to realise your dreams andideas. On your own, or together with others.

SWEDEN

For a sparsely populated country in the ar north o Europe, Sweden has done remarkably well in establish-ing and maintaining an outstanding reputation abroad,

based on many and varied commercial, technological,cultural and political achievements. Swedish consumergoods are brand names well-known all over the world.Swedish vehicles move people and reight rom Alaska to Adelaide. Abba and Pippi Longstocking took theworld by storm and continue to ascinate people on allcontinents. Te Nobel prize is an institution that needsno introduction.

Sweden is a Scandinavian kingdom o nine million in-habitants, o which almost two million live in and

around the capital, Stockholm. Urban Sweden is mod-ern, stylish and sae. Rural Sweden breathes tranquility,and has a science nature with some o the largest unin-habited expanses let in western Europe.

Sweden is a country where winter is winter and summeris summer. Although the northern tip o the country liesabove the Arctic circle, its climate is tempered by theGul Stream.

 As a leading country in environmental conservation,Sweden was the rst country in Europe to protect the

most vulnerable parts o its natural heritage. More thanhal o the country is covered with orest while lakes andrivers make up 10% o its surace area.

In international politics, Sweden has built a reputationas a nation o mediators. Te country pursues non-align-ment in international conicts and strives to oer a sae

haven or diplomatic debates. As a result, the Swedeshave seen a long list o important international positionsentrusted to their ellow citizens.

Despite its natural riches, Sweden is a country built onpeople. Over the last century, Swedish dependence ontimber and iron ore has given way to an emphasis onhuman resources. oday, knowledge is Sweden’s primeasset, with education kept in the public domain anddeveloped to a standard that ranks consistently among the highest in OECD statistics.

THE SWEDISH ACADEMIC SYSTEM

The academic yearTe academic year is divided into two semesters: theautumn semester begins at the end o August and lasts

until mid-January. Te spring semester begins in mid- January and lasts until the beginning o June. Bothsemesters lasts or approximately 20 weeks. Coursesare held during the summer too, but they are usually not quite as substantial as the spring/autumn courses.Should your studies in Halmstad begin or be heldduring the autumn there is also the Fresher’s week,Nollningen, that one should not miss out on. It is anintroductory period o un and play and making new riends. Contact the Student Union or more inorma-tion on the Fresher’s week.

Teachin methodsFull-time studies correspond with a 40-hour working week, however, this does not mean that there are 40hours o lectures every week. Students undertaking courses within technical subjects usually have about20 hours scheduled classes whereas students within thesocial sciences, economics and arts have 10–15 hoursattendance per week. Te students are expected to study,a lot, at their own initiative and are expected to take a great deal o responsibility or their own studies. Apartrom lectures the students may also be expected to at-tend discussion seminars, laboratory lessons, etc.

EaminationsTe most common way to assess students work isthrough written and oral tests. Group projects and essays

are also common, much depending on eld o study andexaminer. Written reports and essays are expected to betyped and students must thereore be able to use com-mon word processing, e-mail and the Internet.

Students in Sweden usually study one subject at a time,but there are exceptions when several courses may bestudied simultaneously. Courses are usually dividedinto several smaller course items, these items are usually assessed as soon as they are nished. I you are taking a course item o 7,5 higher education credits within a lar-

ger course, you should expect an exam ater 5–6 weeks,shortly ater the last lecture.

Hiher education creditsOne week o successul ull-time study is equivalent to1,5 higher education credits. One academic term in Swe-den comprises 20 weeks, and thus equals 30 credits. Forsome international students is, however, the EuropeanCredit ranser System, ECS, used. 1,5 credit equals1,5 ECS.

gradesGrades are given ater each course assessment. Tere are

two grading systems in Sweden. Te most common isdivided into three grades: Pass, Pass with Distinctionand Fail (Godkänd, Väl Godkänd and Underkänd).Some courses only use the grades Pass or Fail. Te othersystem has our grades: 3, 4, 5 and Fail. 5 is the bestgrade you can get and is typically given to students withexam results over 85%. Te ormer system is used inalmost all elds o study while the latter is used mainly within technical elds o study. For exchange studentsadditional grading can be given in the scale A–F.

Academic misconduct What does academic misconduct mean? Cheating, pla-giarising other peoples’ work and general bad behavior,such as sexual harassment or vandalism, within the Uni-versity premises. Halmstad University does not acceptthe behaviour o students who break the rules; studentswho do will be suspended according to our code o con-duct and regulation. It is important that you are awareo the rules, and comply with them.

DereesHigher education in Sweden is divided into three levels;

the rst, second and third. Higher education at the rstand second levels is provided in the orm o courses.Courses may be grouped together into programmes withvarying levels o individual choice. Students themselvesare also able to combine dierent courses towards a degree. A course syllabus is required or each courseat the rst and second level and a curriculum or eachdegree programme. Educational level and intendedlearning outcomes have to be specied or each course.Sweden has a system o higher education credits (hög-skolepoäng); a normal 40-week academic year corre-sponds to 60 higher education credits. Te system is

compatible with ECS credits.

In the Swedish higher education system there aregenerally no intermediate qualications. All degrees areregarded as nal qualications, even i there is a pos-sibility to continue studying. Degrees are divided intogeneral degrees and proessional degrees. ranslationsinto English o all degree names are regulated at thenational level.

It is crucial or a company’s international developmentto gain knowledge about the international environmentas well as to evaluate the company’s strategic resources. What markets should the organisation compete in? How should the company deal with dierent cultures? Whatmodes o entry should the business use in dierent mar-kets? Should the company adapt to dierent markets,or standardise and go or a global approach? Tese aresome o the questions that will be dealt with in thisprogramme.

Sweden is, as a small country, very dependent on inter-national business. Many Swedish companies have beensuccessul in the international market.
