Jump to main contentCongratulations on your admission! We would like to welcome you to our university and the beginning of an exciting time.
Preparing for your studies in Borås is surely an exciting and perhaps anxious time for you, if you live in another country and will be coming to Sweden for the first time.
Very first you need to follow the step-by-step guide below.
In the Step by step guide you will find instructions on how to create a student account and how to register for your course or programme.
In the Course and Programme Portal every course and programme has its own page. That is where you will find contact information, syllabi and curricula, assessments, reading lists and documents.
Everything for your course or your programme.
The learning management system used at The University of Borås is Canvas.
Once you have registered to your courses and created your student account you can log in to the learning management system. You use the same login as to the student account at the University of Borås.
(Once your student account has been created, it may take some time before the account is linked in Canvas, in which case wait until later to log in there).
Zoom is the system we use for distance learning and video conference.
