Utbildningsinformation

Your studies begin with two parallel courses: 
- MX046G – Natural sciences introduction to environmental science, 15 credits. 
- MX023G - Sustainable development – introductory course, 7.5 credits.
When you have registered for these courses (see below on how to do this) you will gain access to the courses in the course management system (Canvas). 
 
The Ecotechnology department uses an learning method called blended learning, or combined learning. This means that there will be campus- and distance-based students from several different educational programs taught as a common group, at the same times of day.  The distance-based students will be traveling to campus sometimes, while the campus-based students will almost always gather on campus, with occasional guest lectures given remotely via online communication tool (Zoom).  
 
 On Monday, September 15, you will travel from Östersund to Bydalen in the Jämtland mountains for an field study week with the course "Natural sciences introduction to environmental science".  Here you will also be meeting the distans based students in person. You will return to Östersund on Friday, September 19.  More practical information about the trip will be given after the course starts. This week is obligatory for all students.
 

Before you can begin your studies, there are three things you need to do

1. Create a student account

As a new student, you need to create a student account to get access to the university´s e-services, such as Ladok, where you can register for courses and examinations, see your study results, and access the University Library´s e-services, as well as the learning platform Canvas.

Please note that the earliest date to create your student account is 20 days before the beginning of the course (spring term) or 30 days before the begging of the course (autumn term).
