Knowledge of environmental issues and sustainable development is increasingly in demand across professions and sectors. Environmental Change offers a wide range of single subject courses for working professionals, those looking to complement or build their own programme of study, and anyone simply keen to learn more.

Why take single subject courses with us?

  • Interdisciplinary focus – we combine natural sciences with social sciences and the humanities.
  • Research‑informed teaching – most of our lecturers are active researchers in current environmental and societal challenges.
  • Joint teaching with programmes – many components are taught together with our Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes, both of which have received very strong evaluations in national reviews.

Collaboration with employers

We work closely with employers and public organisations, and you will notice this throughout your studies. We organise site visits, work with real‑world cases and projects, and invite representatives from companies and organisations into our teaching. This gives you a clear picture of the skills that are in demand and excellent opportunities to connect with potential employers during your studies.

Our partners include Tekniska Verken, Region Östergötland, The Swedish Energy Agency, SMHI, Linköping Municipality, Norrköping Municipality and Visual Sweden.

Varied teaching methods

Our teaching includes excursions, fieldwork, project work, group discussions, lectures and seminars – always with a student‑centred approach that encourages active participation.

Most courses are taught in English. Some are delivered on campus in Linköping or Norrköping, while others are offered fully online.
