In higher education, an individual holding a position as elected representative has been elected by peers/colleagues to represent them in contexts such as decision-making bodies.

An elective course is a course that is chosen from a fixed range of courses offered by a programme, department or institution to provide an element of choice and specialisation within a programme or a course. An elective course may often correspond to a module in a course.


Context(s):

• Students select compulsory elective courses totalling 15 credits in consultation with the programme coordinator. A list of all courses is available from the programme coordinator.

Comment(s):

• To distinguish between the Swedish concepts “valbar” and “valfri”, “elective” is used for the former and “optional” for the latter. This usage complies with the HSV online dictionary but in the English-speaking world the terms are not used consistently in this fashion.

A free-standing course is a course that is not part of a degree programme but which can be combined with other free-standing courses to make up the requirements for a degree (for example, a Bachelor’s degree).


Context(s):

• "The course is offered as a free-standing course. It can normally be included as part of a first- or second-cycle degree. With the approval of the relevant authenticating body, it can also be included in certain professional degrees"


• "The course is taught as a free-standing course and complies with the regulations in the Higher Education Ordinance (SFS 1993:100) with later amendments"

Comment(s):

• For the purposes of distinguishing Sw “kurs” from “delkurs” and “utbildning/program”, the use of “course” is established in Swedish higher education.


• The Swedish concept of a course corresponding to a set number of credits and focused on a particular topic has no obvious equivalent in the English-speaking world where the term “course” in some HEI contexts may refer to an entire programme of study and what is comparable to the Swedish concept might be referred to as “module” or “paper”.


• The adjective “free-standing” is the BE term recommended by the HSV online dictionary although alternatives such as “standalone course” and “single subject course” exist and are also common.

An optional course is a course that may be chosen freely by the student as a component in a programme of study.


Context(s):

• At the discretion of the Programme Director, a compulsory course may be replaced by a suitable optional course, for example when you have already taken the equivalent of a compulsory course in your first degree.

Comment(s):

• To distinguish between the Swedish concepts “"valbar"” and “"valfri", "elective"” is used for the former and "optional"” for the latter. This usage complies with the HSV online dictionary but in the English-speaking world the terms are not used consistently in this fashion.

Context(s):

• “The Freedom of Information Act applies to Queen Margaret University because it falls within the category of higher education institution and is therefore a public authority.”
