The syllabus is written in the tool ÖKA. Use the available instructions. They offer many examples and suggestions for practical solutions, aspects to consider and examples of good wording.
The syllabus is the legal document that describes the course to which the student applies, is admitted to and finally will earn credits from. The syllabus states, among several other things, the course objectives, how the university will organize teaching and examination, if there are any compulsory elements, and the requirements for admission.
When we design a syllabus, it is important that we carefully follow the instructions that are available at university level and with supplementary instructions at faculty level:
The whole university
