FAQ - about Commissioned Education

What is Commissioned Education?

Commissioned education is professional development for employees. Employers looking to strengthen their organizations with new knowledge, or organizations aiming to provide skill development opportunities for job seekers, can achieve this by purchasing commissioned education from us at LiU. All our education combines the latest research with practical knowledge.

Linköping University offers both pre-designed and tailored education. In some cases, a contracting party can purchase commissioned education where course participants study alongside regular, publicly funded students, a practice known as co-enrollment.

Who is the contracting party?

The contracting party must be a legal entity, such as a company or an organization. Therefore, commissioned education cannot be purchased by an individual.

Who can participate in commissioned education?

The contracting party, usually the employer, selects the course participants.

Is there a requirement of previous university studies to enroll in commissioned education?

Generally, there is no requirement for previous studies at a college or university to enroll in commissioned education, as the contracting party designates participants. However, there might be courses that require prior knowledge, which you may have acquired through previous studies. In such cases, this information will be clearly stated in the course description on our website.
