What’s the difference?

Not sure what kind of CPD is right for you? Let us explain the differences:

• Contract education – a form of CPD that a company or organisation orders specifically for their employees.
• Freestanding courses – People who are working can of course apply to study any of the University’s freestanding courses.
• Courses tailored to your industry – these are courses and/or training packages developed for specific industries. They are offered at both first- and second-cycle levels.
• Smart Industry Sweden – four-year third-cycle study programmes for doctoral students where you and your company have agreed that you should do research.
