Solemn and joyful ceremonies for this semester’s graduates
The last Thursday and Friday in May offered more excitement than weekdays usually do. The graduation ceremonies were held for all of KI's degree programs. Almost 1,000 proud students and their families celebrated in the early summer heat.
Better grades in student-driven planetary health report
Today, 5 June, we celebrate World Environment Day. Fittingly, the 2024 report from the Planetary Health Report Card (PHRC) was completed a couple of weeks earlier. Since its publication in May, the KI students who led the work can proudly present improved grades for the medical programme and one new programme in the report: the physiotherapy programme.
Changing careers through KI’s programmes
Having a profession that one enjoys on multiple levels is crucial for most people. Regardless of the reason for retraining, many of KI’s students switch to a new line of work through their education here. This is the case for Anna Edsjö, who is in her third term of the occupational therapy program.
