 * Full time studies for one semester are 30 credits.

These courses are for students who want to study focused specializations and they have specific prerequisites, requiring 60-90 credits of previous studies in the subject in question. Students can only study one full-semester course of 30 credits per semester. If students cannot take any of the complete 30 credit courses, they must apply for single-subject courses at campus Kalmar.
