Our events

The Master and Exchange Reception (MER) is the reception for new master and exchange students at Uppsala University's Faculty of Technology. It invites you to activities to facilitate your transition to student life in Uppsala and gives you a good foundation for your new life here.

The River Rafting is an annual event organized by UTN. It is a cherished and long-awaited tradition that has been going on since 1975, and which attracts thousands of visitors from all over Sweden. What started as a bet between two friends today consists partly of a week-long festival and the ending run down to Fyrisån on Valborgsmäsoafton.

The Proprietorial Course in Mathematics is an opportunity for new students to both refresh their math skills and get an introduction to university studies, while getting to know their new class during the reception. Teachers give a total of ten lessons in everything from fractional division to trigonometric functions. The Proprietorial Course in Mathematics is arranged in cooperation with the Department of Mathematics.

Every year in November, about 100 companies exhibit at Utnarm to meet you as a student. This Career Fair is a perfect opportunity for you to meet and discuss, among other things, future careers, graduate jobs and summer jobs. In the two weeks before the start of the Career Fair, some selected companies also organise their own events — ranging from lunch lectures to workplace visits and case nights.
