Some administrative systems that
we work in

KursInfo is the syllabus database at JU. Here we add the course and programme syllabi that you can find on the JU web. If you would like to see the courses included in your programme, you can find them here. The page is updated before each new semester.

Ladok is a national administrative system for student records used by Swedish higher education institutions. In addition to personal data about each student, the system also contains information on admission, course registrations, results, discontinuation of studies, exchange studies, degrees etc. You can follow your studies by logging in to StudentLadok, where you for instance register for the courses within each programme semester, can change your address and create transcripts of record.

The Course Selection page is part of Ladok's Web Services and here you can select courses if there are elective courses or tracks in your programme.

Mobility Online Application (MOA) is a system used for processing information on incoming and outgoing exchange students. We use this system for credit transfers for outgoing students.

DiVA is an administrative system used for the publication and archiving of bachelor's and master's (60 and 120 credits) degree projects.
