Welcome letter Autumn 2024

Congratulations on your place at SLU and on the Horticultural Science Master’s programme! We look forward to meeting you here in Alnarp this autumn.

The autumn semester 2024 begins with roll call and study information.

Date: Monday 2 September.

Time and place: On the pages for new students, you will find information about the study start and when the roll call for your programme begins.

On these pages, you will also find all the information you need as a new student at SLU, including information about the orientation days. The orientation days are not mandatory but we recommend that you attend them. They take place at the end of August, before the semester starts, and provide essential and useful information about your stay in Sweden and your studies at SLU.

Your first course will be Horticultural Systems and Future Challenges. On the course page, you will find a timetable for your classes and other course-related information. Timetables and reading lists will be published at least four weeks before the course starts.

During the first semester of your studies, there will be joint courses for all the students in the programme. Thereafter, there will be 1.5 years of optional courses.

I am really looking forward to meeting you in Alnarp in September!

Once again, welcome to SLU!
