Ceremonies
In September of every year Karlstad University arranges an academic celebration. The celebration includes the conferment ceremonies of doctors and honorary doctors and the installation of new professors. Honorary medals and scholarships are also presented.
Karlstad University was inaugurated on 22 January 1999. As a young university we are eager to preserve the long-standing academic tradition as well as to cultivate our own history and identity. Academic festivals and ceremonies have been celebrated in Sweden since the Middle Ages. At Karlstad University we have chosen to give our academic ceremony a flavour of our culture while relating to the national and international university tradition.
Degree ceremony
Each autumn and spring there is a degree ceremony at which the names of all degree awardees are announced. The students are presented with a gift token on stage in the assembly hall, Aula Magna. There are music performances and refreshments for the graduating students and their guests. The Conference Service at Karlstad University can provide more information.
