VIP CRéMe is run by the Faculty of Health and Society together with the Sustainable Digitalisation Research Centre. Choose from more than 20 different projects and contribute to real research – a few hours per week is all it takes. Dare to test your skills in the real world!

Eligibility

Students admitted to a course or programme at the Faculty of Health and Society may apply to join a faculty research team through VIP. As of autumn 2025, the VIP programme is also available for all Malmö University students through the Sustainable Digitalisation Research Centre. To be eligible, however, you must have passed all credits in your studies so far, and have completed at least 60 credits. Each VIP project will detail prerequisites for getting involved, given its research agenda.

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.

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