Open online courses
Welcome to the University of Stavanger’s selection of open online courses. Here you can increase your competence in several fields – without any prerequisites or applications for admission.
Prerequisites and learning outcomes
There are no prerequisites for access to the courses. However, some courses may have recommendations for prior knowledge.
If you take a course and pass the assignments given you will have the foundation you need to achieve the learning outcomes described for the course.
You will not receive ECTS for these courses, but there are equivalent courses that can be taken with credits at UiS etter- og videreutdanning or in the ordinary study programs – with requirements for educational qualifications, admission, and prior knowledge.
Course format and access
UiS’ open online courses are available to anyone who wants to take them. They are asynchronous courses that you start and complete at your own pace. The content consists of texts, videos, interactive tasks, relevant sources and references.
To take a course you must first create a personal account on the site.
Free or course fee
Several of our courses are completely free, whilst others have a course fee. You can find out if you have to pay a fee in the information about each individual course. Course certificates are offered in several of the courses.
