Catalogue for Open Courses

Dalarna University has developed a series of open courses that are listed in an open course catalogue. The aim of the University is to make education available to everybody, regardless of their background or circumstances. These open courses are a step towards making that possible.

Will I receive university credit?

You will not receive university credit upon completion of an open course at Dalarna University. What you will receive is a form of confirmation recognising your participation. For example, Dalarna University awards a certificate to students in the course "The Midwifery Profession and Its Scope of Practice in Bangladesh"  (see below) after they complete the course and pass an online test.

Example of a Successful Dalarna University Open Course

The Midwifery Profession and Its Scope of Practice in Bangladesh

In 2018, Dalarna University received funding from the United Nations Population Fund to undertake a project to train midwifery teachers in Bangladesh. The project is extremely important, with a high number of students taking the online course.
