"We are stronger together"

DEAN'S BLOG. I would like to welcome all students back to LTH and extend a warm welcome to those who are joining us as new students. Your wellbeing and the knowledge you gain here are important not only for you and for Lund University, but also for society as a whole, both locally and globally. This is the message from Annika Olsson, Dean of LTH.

I hope you, too, are looking forward to an autumn of significant learning and the challenge of solving some tricky problems, writes Annika Olsson, Dean of LTH, in a welcome message to students and staff. Pictured: Student activity on the LTH campus. Photo: Kennet Ruona

After enjoying some wonderful summer days, we have now entered the autumn semester of 2026, and what could be more delightful than a campus where LTH students truly bring the place to life!

I would like to congratulate all of you who applied for and secured a place on a programme at LTH. It is wonderful to see our new students meeting new friends, mentors and teachers, and to sense the anticipation in the air, perhaps even a touch of nervousness. Most of all, however, there is a contagious feeling of excitement.
