Autumn graduation ceremony at LTH
On Friday 13 November, around 270 graduates will receive their diplomas at LTH’s graduation ceremony in the AF Building. Three scholarships will also be awarded during the ceremony in recognition of particularly outstanding degree projects.
– Published 6 November 2026
LTH's graduation ceremony in the Great Hall at the AF Building is divided into two ceremonies. Around 70 graduates will take part in the first ceremony, starting at 12:00, and around 200 in the second, starting at 16:00.
The guest speaker at both ceremonies will be Anders Almgren, Chair of the Municipal Executive Board of the City of Lund. The graduates' speeches will be delivered by Jonathan Jedhammar, who has graduated from the Master's programme in Medicine and Engineering, at the first ceremony, and Scarlett Delin, who has graduated from the Master's programme in Civil Engineering, at the second.
Erik Inghammar will be the master of ceremonies, and music will be provided by Malmö Brass Quintet. The ceremonies will be followed by receptions in the Sparbanksfoajén foyer and Athen.
Both ceremonies will be held in Swedish and broadcast live via lth.se/stream, allowing family and friends who cannot attend in person to follow the celebrations remotely.
Gunilla Jönson Scholarship
The Gunilla Jönson Scholarship is being awarded for the second time, made possible by a donation from Gunilla Jönson, former Dean of LTH. Awarded once per semester, the scholarship recognises particularly outstanding degree projects completed within LTH's five-year engineering programmes. The scholarship is worth SEK 10,000.
This autumn's scholarship is awarded to Hilma Holmström, a graduate of the Master's programme in Engineering Physics, for her degree project Thermal photoemitter and absorber.
In her project, she combined theoretical analysis with experimental methods to investigate a structure that could be used to transmit and read information in quantum computers.
The award citation highlights the high scientific quality of the project, Hilma Holmström's independence and her ability to integrate knowledge from different parts of her education.

LTH Jubilee Scholarship
The LTH Jubilee Scholarship is awarded annually to one or more students for particularly outstanding degree projects completed within LTH's five-year engineering programmes or Master's programmes. The scholarship is worth SEK 5,000.
This year's scholarship is awarded to Freja Wirén and Olga Schubert, graduates of the Master's programme in Environmental Engineering, for their degree project Brake wear particle emissions from heavy-duty vehicles and their environmental implications.
They investigated particles generated by brake wear from heavy-duty vehicles and their potential effects on the environment and human health. By developing and applying methods to analyse these particles, they have contributed new knowledge about their composition.
The award citation describes the project as an outstanding interdisciplinary piece of work of high academic quality, with considerable relevance to both society and the automotive industry. The project has also led to collaboration with Keio University in Japan and attracted international attention.
LTH Scholarship in Circular Construction
Thanks to a donation from Paul Sandberg, who holds a PhD from LTH, the Faculty awards a scholarship for degree projects that contribute to reducing the climate impact of the construction industry. The scholarship is worth SEK 10,000.
This year's scholarship is awarded to Elsa Strömberg Engström and Majken Wastå, graduates of the Bachelor's programme in Civil Engineering with Architecture, for their degree project From waste material to resource: The potential of invasive oyster shells as a binder substitute.
In their degree project, they investigated the possibility of using shells from invasive oysters as a substitute for conventional binders in construction materials. In this way, a waste material could become a resource and help reduce the climate impact of the construction industry.
The award citation highlights the project's clear connection to circular construction and its combination of theoretical and practical investigations. The assessment committee particularly commends the inclusion of less successful results, as these can provide valuable insights for further development and future research.
The ceremonies will be broadcast live at lth.se/stream.
