Updates on the coronavirus: General decision about the autumn within the next few weeks

2020-05-19 

The University crisis management team has decided that programmes offered primarily to international students will be taught remotely the first semester, that is next autumn.

A general decision regarding all teaching in the autumn at the University will be taken within the next few weeks, and no later than the beginning of June.

Programmes offered primarily to international students who start their first semester the coming autumn will thus be taught remotely (applies primarily to student required to pay fees).

For exchange programmes, we have an ongoing dialogue with partner universities. This concerns around 50 incoming students and around 20 outgoing students from the University.

When it comes to teaching and examination in general, a decision will be taken within the next few weeks. Our decision will depend on what recommendations the Public Health Agency of Sweden will issue.

As before, the University campus is open for students. You still need a valid entrance card (the HiG card) to enter. Contact the Reception if you have questions regarding entrance cards. The Reception is open between 9 am and 3 pm (phone: 026-64 88 88).

The Library remains open until further notice, but the opening hours have been changed (see below).
