Planning for on-campus teaching
The University of Gothenburg is planning for a gradual opening of on-campus activities. During the first part of the autumn semester, we plan to offer a mixture of on-campus and online teaching - what this will mean for different courses will vary, but it is important that you are able to attend teaching sessions in Gothenburg in September.
On-campus teaching will be offered during the second part of the autumn semester. More information about the gradual opening of on-campus activities is sent via welcome emails and through the digital learning platform Canvas in August.
The level of opening up will depend on the recommendations from the Swedish government and the Public Health Agency of Sweden.
At the School of Global Studies, we offer education with a global perspective in several different subject areas. The common interest in all our subject areas is the interest in power relations, equality, and sustainable development. All of our courses give you a deeper understanding of contemporary global issues.
Information about our subject areas is found in the list.
