A new semester starts, and for some of you perhaps at a new university, in a new city and a country? Anywaywe hope you will have a great time at Linnaeus University!
The Linnaeus Union is the one and only student union at LNU, and we represent all students no matter where they come from, what they study or at what level. So yes, we are here for you too!
We work with educational quality and student social matters, such as events, accommodation, member benefits and discounts, just to name a few. In practical terms it means that you can contact us with questions or problems related to your studies or student life. We can help you get in touch with the right people at LNU, with various student organizations or have our student and PhD ombudsmen help if you have any serious issues.
With this newsletter we want to keep you informed of current events and important stuff that will make your life as a PhD student even better!

During the summer we have added three new sections to our website, specifically targeted to PhD students. The first one contains general information, the second one has additional information for those who are employed at LNU and the third one has extra information for international PhD students. It is still a work in progress though, and we still lack information about things like insurances, but please let us know what you think, if you feel there is information lacking or find problems or inaccuracies. |
