Did you know?

VIP will be documented as a diploma supplement (CRéMe – credits for research merits) and registered in Ladok.

What you will learn

The programme fosters leadership and mentorship, with faculty and students guiding teams, experienced students mentoring newcomers, and students stepping into leadership roles as others graduate. You will gain insights about and valuable experience from current research at the University.

You will learn collaboration skills, meet new people and grow on a personal level. Much of the knowledge and skills you practise as part of the VIP programme will be useful when writing your thesis.
