Fika Chat with Lars Strannegård on changes to admission rules

The chat in Zoom will be open as usual, so everyone is welcome with questions and reflections.

Today's guest: Lars Strannegård, President of Stockholm School of Economics

KTH admits students in different selection groups, the most common of which are via upper secondary school grades or via results of the Swedish Scholastic Aptitude Test. As an authority, KTH does not have much freedom to change the rules for this. The Stockholm School of Economics is a privately owned university and therefore has greater freedom to design its admission rules. They are now going to utilise this by setting different requirements for student applicants.

In this podcast, Johan talks to Lars Strannegård, President of the Stockholm School of Economics, about this, together with KTH's Martin Viklund.
