Many halls and group rooms have been adapted so that students can keep their distance. In the clip above, principal Peter Aronsson shows what measures have been taken in one of the halls.

During the corona pandemic, all students are welcome back to Linnaeus University, except for new international students and those who have chosen distance education. The challenge ahead of the autumn has been, among other things, access to premises - and that some educations have a greater need to meet physically than others.

- We were told on June 15 that we will be open as usual but at the same time keep our distance, at the same time as we have not received more premises than before. We have had to prioritize who should have priority for the premises and it is those who have laboratory elements in their education and who must be here, including police officers, nurses and beginners who have not gone to university before who have a great need to come here. Then there is time for those who can use the premises for a shorter time, says Peter Aronsson.

Halved classes

As the halls take in fewer students, classes will be halved and have shorter question times. The same applies to exams and appeals.

Some assignments are done in halls and group rooms, but some assignments students have to do from home digitally. Large lectures are also given digitally.

- We will not have more than 50 students in one room, says Peter Aronsson.
