Autumn term opened with a festive introduction

The university is finally full of students again! SKH welcomed new students into the community with everything from fact-filled information to opera singing and candy walking.

SKH may be spread across five different sites at the moment, but we have a lot in common and benefit a lot from each other’s knowledge. That's one reason why we’ve long had a joint start-of- term celebration, where students get a vivid flavour of all parts of the university, different subject areas and research. They also get the opportunity to meet the student unions and not least – each other, across all subject boundaries. And, of course, celebrate that the academic year is finally underway!

Below you can see pictures from the whole start of term celebration, and in the right column you can meet some of this year’s new students.

– Nothing! If you have no expectations, when good things do happen, you will be very happy. I’m also looking forward to learning and unlearning structures and questioning why they’re there from the start.
