USN Flexible
Higher education shall be available for a wide variety of citizens. Regardless of where you live or your current work- and life situation, higher education, further education and courses should be possible for all. USN contributes by developing flexible programmes made available for all.
Through the project "USN Flexible" USN will strengthen and coordinate our efforts for supporting lifelong learning. USN aims to offer education programmes in demand in the work industry and to use new technology and pedagogy to develop education suited to different groups of students wishes and needs. Education programmes must be offered regardless of time and place. Progression, a form of assessment and content will be further developed. The project will also initiate research to gain updated knowledge in the field.
USN currently offers both web-based, group-based, decentralized and part-time programmes as well as combinations of these. Our eight campuses are at an advantage in the development of flexible education. We are close to the industry in the region and collaborate with businesses and the public sector to create our study programmes.
