Study- and Career Counselling group

Target audience

Staff working with student administration — with a particular focus on study and career counsellors. Additionally, the group has an interest in spreading knowledge about higher education policy in the Nordic region to strengthen our Nordic identity and learn from each other’s innovations.

Focus areas

The group works with questions related to Nordic university students. Its focus is recruitment, admissions, student counselling and career counselling and the transition to the job market.
