- Feedback and support in your studies from your teacher, online and on-site
- Regular and structured progress meetings and guidance
- Access to student and career counsellors
At Tora Vega SFI in Lund, we offer two different study paths.
Study path 2
(includes the SFI courses B, C, and D): For students with a school background less extensive than the equivalent Swedish upper-secondary school. You will attend SFI lessons at school every day from 09:00 – 12:15.
Study path 3
(includes the SFI courses C and D): For students who have completed studies corresponding to Swedish upper secondary school or have studied at a university.
You can choose from three different course formats within Study Path 3. Each course includes 15 hours of mandatory study per week. However, depending on the course, the number of teacher-led hours and the amount of homework vary.
Our courses suit students who are used to self-study and want to combine their education with work or other commitments.
Access to a computer and the Internet is required to participate in these courses.
Study Options Within Study Path 3
Kombo/Flex is a flexible daytime course where you attend in-person classes at least three times each week. You book your lessons using a class timetable and must schedule a minimum of 8 hours (equivalent to three lessons).
