Kurstillfälle

Kurstillfälle is a Swedish term that translates to "course instance" or "course occurrence" in English. It refers to a specific offering or session of a particular course. When a university, college, or other educational institution provides a course, they often schedule multiple instances of that course to accommodate different student needs and schedules.

Each kurstillfälle typically has its own unique identification number, schedule, location (physical or online), and instructor(s). Students enroll in a specific kurstillfälle rather than just the course name itself. This distinction is important for administrative purposes, such as managing class sizes, assigning resources, and tracking student progress within a defined timeframe. For example, a course like "Introduction to Physics" might have several kurstillfälle offered each academic year, perhaps in the autumn semester, spring semester, or even as a summer course. Each of these would be a distinct kurstillfälle.
