Lund University expects around 600 international students this spring. Just like the previous number of semesters during the ongoing pandemic, it is anticipated that we will receive fewer students this semester compared to pre-covid years, due to restrictions and closed borders.

The aim of Arrival Day is to welcome the students, provide them with information and ensure that they settle into their accommodation. The students are met at Copenhagen Airport by Lund University staff who help them on their way to Lund’s Central Station, where buses are waiting to take the students to Ingvar Kamprad Design Center, IKDC. At IKDC the students check in and collect their keys. Transport is arranged to take them to their accommodation. All parts of the procedure have been adapted to avoid the risk of spreading infection. 

The students were welcomed at Kastrup and Lund C and transported on to Ingvar Kamprad Design Centre (IKDC). Masks and hand sanitizers were available and mentors and employees ensured that distances could be maintained both at IKDC and during transportation. After Arrival Day, the Orientation Week begins. This year it includes digital information meetings and seminars as well as social activities, both digital and physical.
