11.00–11.45 – New student?
As a new student, it can be overwhelming to know what you are getting into. We will share some tips and good advice to succeed in the first year of study and talk about our expectations of you and the difference between being a pupil and a student. Not least, there is room for your questions. Perhaps you are wondering how to change your GP or vacuum cleaner bag, or where you can find used curriculum litterature, gigs or the university's gym. Then you should come to this event! The meeting will be in English.
Location: Hetlandssalen
The same meeting in Norwegian will take place at 10.00.
