College of Education
A Christian Alternative in the Swedish University System
College of Education
The mission of the College of Education is to promote lifelong learning and create courses for those interested in learning, whether you are a teacher by profession, work within a learning organization, study at a university, or want to prepare for university studies.
An Alternative in the Swedish University System
Through the College of Education, Scandinavian School of Theology aims to complement the Swedish university system by offering courses grounded in Christian values. We offer classes in various academic fields, such as natural sciences, medicine, social sciences, and values-based education/intellectual history.
The Pedagogical Faculty will soon offer a complementary teacher training program. This initiative combines high-quality education with a Christian perspective, giving students a unique opportunity to grow academically and spiritually.
Study and seminar days are arranged in collaboration with schools upon request.
