Acceptance Letter
[Applies to Swedish students] Don't forget to accept your acceptance letter at antagning.se.
Hi there Nollan!
A big and warm welcome to the K-guild and congratulations on your place at either one of our master programs, bachelor programs & as an exchange student!
Here at Lund University, the Faculty of Engineering, and the K-guild, we hope that you will experience the best time of your life, and it all begins with the Introduction period (known as Nollningen or the Novisch period). The title of "Nolla" (Mentee or Novisch, noll is Swedish for zero) is given to those who have not studied at LTH before and refers to the level of experience one has in the LTH culture, namely zero. But fear not. When you arrive at LTH, you will be greeted by the pHøs, your mentors, and other helpful Guild members who will assist and guide you.
Being new to Lund and/or LTH can feel scary and overwhelming, which is exactly why we organize the Introduction period for you and your future friends. Remember that all the mentors you will meet have been mentees and in your shoes once. At LTH, there is no hazing or anything of that sort. Instead, the focus is on ensuring that you feel comfortable and prepared for what will hopefully be the best years of your life.
The Introduction period is filled with exciting activities such as dinners, company events, pubs, study nights, competitions, and much more. During the first day of the academic reception, you will be contacted by one of your mentors (an older student in the Guild) to receive information about your first period at LTH and the Introduction period. Also, download the app Hitract (by following this guide) and follow @kseknollning on Instagram for updates leading up to, and during, the Introduction period! If you have any questions about starting school, the Introduction period, your first time in Lund, etc., do not hesitate to email introduktion@ksek.se.
This year's theme for the K guild’s Introduction period is "An Iconic Introduction", so get ready to step into a new world where you will form new connections, become an icon for the future, and together create something greater than yourselves. Leave your old routine behind and prepare for a time full of adventure, community, and iconic events. But most of all – get ready to become part of a story you will never forget!
Once again, a warm welcome to LTH and the K-Guild. We are very much looking forward to meeting you.
Best Regards, the pHøs
Nollevisan (song, literal translation)
I am a little Nolla who chose to study chemistry.
The old ones they enchant me, they are so worldly they.
At university it’s so fun that during an unknown time,
walk hand in hand familiarly with the pHøs whose mercy brings peace.
