Swedish Gymnasieskolan Curriculum (Program-Specific Subjects)

The Swedish Gymnasieskolan offers a variety of programs, each with specific subjects designed to prepare students for further studies or vocational careers. All programs are three years in duration and consist of 2500 credits, of which 2250 must result in passing grades to receive a diploma.

In addition to program-specific subjects, all students study foundation subjects, which include: Swedish or Swedish as a second language, English, mathematics, history, physical education and health, science studies, religion, and social studies.

Vocational Programs

Vocational programs aim to prepare students for immediate entry into the workforce upon graduation. Students must earn passing grades in eight subjects to qualify, including the core subjects of Swedish/Swedish as a second language, English, and mathematics. Examples of program-specific subjects within vocational programs include: child study, cultural and recreational activities, construction methods, energy technology, and arts.

A vocational diploma requires passing grades in 2250 credits, including Swedish 1 or Swedish as a second language 1, English 5, Mathematics 1, and 400 credits in program-specific subjects, as well as a passing grade in the diploma project. Students pursuing a vocational diploma also have the option to achieve basic eligibility for higher education by choosing specific courses.

Construction Program: While specific Year 3 subjects for the Construction Program were not found in the provided search results, program-specific subjects generally cover practical skills and theoretical knowledge related to the chosen vocation.

Higher Education Preparatory Programs

These programs are designed to prepare students for higher education. Students must earn passing grades in twelve subjects to qualify, including the core subjects of Swedish/Swedish as a second language, English, and mathematics.

Natural Science Program: This program focuses on mathematics, biology, physics, and chemistry. A sample curriculum from Kungsholmens Gymnasium shows Year 3 includes Mathematics 3c, along with other foundation subjects and program specializations.

Technology Program: Similar to the Natural Science program, the Technology Program requires passing grades in biology, physics, and chemistry. Specific Year 3 subjects require further research.
