Introduction day for new students
New as a student at the Swedish Defence University? Welcome to the introduction day on September 2nd, which is the first day of the autumn semester 2024.
Important information!
The Swedish Defence University is a protected site, so you need to keep the following in mind:
- Arrive early - there may be a queue at the entrance.
- Do not forget your ID and keep it handy to facilitate when you need to identify yourself. You will need to show ID and be checked against a list to gain entry.
- Leave large bags and bulky outerwear at home. We do not have a staffed cloakroom. Be prepared to be searched by our security guards.
