Branches of study

At present the school has the following branches of study:

 

  • General and business studies
    The main courses in this branch of study are general academic studies (second and third year in school), business and administration studies (second and third year in school).

    If you want to meet both the special and the general requirements for university studies in only three years, you have to choose this branch of study, the general and business studies. We have 3-4 classes in every year, 11 classes altogether.
  • Health and social care studies
    This branch qualifies the student for a vocation as a health worker. Our school offers you medical office studies and care work. By choosing health and social care studies you qualify for jobs within the health, social care and nursing sector, in home-based services or in hospitals, in nursery homes and kindergartens, at the dentist’s, the doctor’s, or perhaps in a pharmacy or as an ambulance driver. There are plenty of possibilities!
  • Music, dance and drama studies
    If you are interested in singing, playing or dancing, or see for yourself a future on stage, this is the branch of study for you. At our school we offer you the possibility of specializing in music in the second and third year of study. This contributes to giving our school a distinct musical character.
  • Sales and service studies
    This is a trade which is growing fast. The education will give you great possibilities for an exciting job in the travel business, computer business, shops, offices or service jobs.
  • Building and construction trades
    These courses are all based on subjects needed in the construction and renovation of buildings, roads, airports and mining.
