Courses are available within subjects such as professional dancing, music, theatre, film, fine arts and fashion. They are offered by private education providers although they are subject to state regulation. Some of them receive public funding and/or qualify for student financial aid.

Many courses prepare for undergraduate studies in academies for fine arts, music or performing arts. Others prepare for direct entry into a specific occupation, such as professional dancer, designer or musical theatre performer.

There are also shorter courses designed to specialise or inspire and to preserve cultural heritage and promote cultural development . Subjects may include knitting, smithing or folk dance.

A full list of courses is available on our website for prospective students, konstkulturutbildning.se.

Courses vary in duration, from a few days up to several years. Longer courses qualify for student financial aid.
