Is this for me?
Luleå University of Technology has developed several new MOOCs for you who want to broaden or deepen your knowledge in a number of different subject areas such as economics, marketing, digitization and entrepreneurship.
The MOOC courses cover about 10-15 hours of study and are given via LTU Professional Education, the university's organization for further education of professionals. You decide where and when to study. The courses are free of charge but if you want a certificate, you can, for a fee, choose to issue a certificate upon successful completion of the course.
All MOOCs are free of charge.
From the day you choose to start the course, you have 14-21 days to complete it (depending on the length of the course, more information on this can be found in the course description). If you don't finish the course, you can extend the study period for a fee and have unlimited time to complete the course.
