Although the number of searches has decreased in general, a specific training area increases - start the clip to hear which.

More than 37,000 people had Örebro University on their application this autumn, unlike last year when the number of applicants was 7,000 more according to the University and College Council's statistics.

But Cecilia Andersson Mårdh is happy with the number of applicants, who are back at a level similar to before the pandemic.

- It's great fun that so many want to study with us.

We are not worried, however, it has been difficult throughout the pandemic to know how the students behave.

If the situation now stabilizes, it is very welcome, she says.

The pandemic shapes the educations

The pandemic not only contributed to increased search pressure.

Study behaviors and preferences are also expected to change in step with digitalisation, both among university students and former high school students.

- It will be exciting, we will need to develop our pedagogy to meet the students' new needs.

Can still be applied for

A total of 13,600 people have so far been admitted this autumn.

But for those who missed the application period in April, it is not yet too late.

- There are several programs you can still apply for, via late registration, but do not wait too long for the application to close at any time.
