DNS-Labs and The Swedish Internet Foundation offer courses and lectures to universities and companies that are interested in learning more about DNS.

Internet’s Domain Name System (Swedish: Internets domännamnssystem)

In this course, students gain both theoretical and practical knowledge of how the Domain Name System (DNS) works and how to configure and manage name servers and other DNS components. The course provides in-depth knowledge of DNS and opens doors to careers in communications solutions, network operations and internet infrastructure. It is part of our effort to spread knowledge about DNS and, in the long term, promote a safer and more robust internet.

The Swedish Internet Foundation has offered the course since 2019 at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. Since 2023, the same course has also been offered remotely at Karlstad University (KAU). Both are held during the spring semester. The course is taught in Swedish, with reading materials mainly in English.

The 7.5-credit course is aimed at third-year students in computer technology and electrical engineering at KTH, and in computer science at KAU. It is also open to professionals who work with DNS and have the necessary technical knowledge of networks. Apply via antagning.se.
