Distance studies

Freedom with responsibility

The education includes theoretical studies that you complete at home and lab weeks with practical components at our facilities in Sundsvall or Solna. Some courses conclude with written final exams, which can be taken in your home municipality, at the school, or at our office in Nyköping.

The program also includes workplace-based learning (WBL).

Our education portal

TU-academy.se

In the education portal, you will find your courses with their start and end dates. Each course includes information detailing what you need to do to pass. You can contact our teachers through the support available in the portal. The portal also contains your course literature list, information about internships, a buy & sell section for used course literature, and more. Everything you need during your studies is available in the portal. You will use various simulation programs during the training, so you must have access to a computer (PC) with a Windows operating system.

Internship

At the end of the training, there are your internships and it is 8 weeks (320 hours) that must be completed at a workplace. You apply for an internship so you can be where it suits you. Apply for a place well in advance so you have a place before the start dates of the courses. If you have problems finding a place, contact our internship teacher well in advance. Other time the courses are planned during you do the theoretical part of the courses, the web courses, read in books and finish with written final exams.

Written final exams

For courses that have a lab week, you do the written final exam on site at the school. For courses that do not end with a lab week, you can take the test closer to your home. If you live near our school in Sundsvall or Solna or our office in Nyköping, you can take the test with us. If you do not live nearby, you can contact your home municipality's adult education (alternative College, University, Learning Centers or Learning Center) to see if you can take the test there.

CSN

If you receive your education financed through your home municipality, you have the opportunity to apply for study grants from CSN. CSN is about your private finances and presupposes that you manage your studies and follow your study plan, otherwise you risk becoming liable to repay them. The study plan is based on CSN's rules on the number of credits per week for full-time or part-time studies. It does not matter if you only use student grants or if you also take out a loan.
