The Swedish Higher Education Act Section 8 First-cycle courses and study programmes shall be based fundamentally on the knowledge acquired by pupils in national study programmes in the upper-secondary schools or its equivalent. The Government may, however, permit exceptions for courses and study programmes in the fine, applied or performing arts. First-cycle courses and study programmes shall develop: - the ability of students to make independent and critical assessments, - the ability of students to identify, formulate and solve problems autonomously, and - the preparedness of students to deal with changes in working life. In addition to knowledge and skills in their field of study, students shall develop the ability to: - gather and interpret information at a scholarly level, - stay abreast of the development of knowledge, and - communicate their knowledge to others, including those who lack specialist knowledge in the field. Ordinance (2009:1037).
