This year the global pandemic has brought with it a number of challenges for our students and staff members and we know things will not be quite the same this autumn or next spring. We will continue to follow the guidelines issued by the Public Health Agency of Sweden and do everything we can to keep our students and staff members safe.
For our new campus students, teaching may be a little different. More space between students in the lecture halls, or online solutions at times. We have been “practising” several of these things during this year - with very good results. After all, we are a university that offers a broad range of distance education programmes and courses.
