Congratulations to the admission to the International Business Strategy master programme! We are looking forward to meeting you in Kalmar fall 2017! The upcoming year will then contain studies in international business strategy and marketing which will deepen your theoretical knowledge in the area as well as your practical insights through case based fieldwork and reports. As part of an international programme, the cross-cultural learning environment will spur your knowledge development and create an arena for personal growth.
A few weeks prior to the start of the semester you will get access to your student account that you will use to access our student web pages, programme and course information etc. You also arrange a LNU-e-mail to be used for all formal communication during your studies at Linnaeus University. Programme and course introductions takes place during week 35. Please note that there are university introduction activites planned also for week 34 that we highly recommend that you attend. Thus, make sure to be on site in advance to be settled and ready to attend the activities!
