Open House 2025: Persistent Enthusiasm for Higher Education
Every year, Campus Flemingsberg hosts an Open House. Where aspiring individuals get the opportunity to visualize their future and receive guidance in finding their true calling—by visiting Sweden’s eighth-largest campus. Whether the aspirations involve economics and law, healthcare and nursing, or music and technology, the campus’ colleges and universities can meet every need. Choosing your own path has never been easier!
This year’s Open House, held on March 26, featured lectures and guided tours with the Royal Institute of Technology, Karolinska Institutet, University College of Music Education in Stockholm, Red Cross University, and Södertörn University.
“Interest in our nursing programs remains high, and we know there is a strong demand for nurses and specialist nurses from the Red Cross University!”
– Helene Komlos Grill, Communications Manager at Red Cross University.
At Södertörn University, strong engagement was both seen and felt. Solina Lujinovic Magnusson, Communications Officer at Södertörn University, described their Open House as follows:
“The day started with a big rush during the first hour, which then continued throughout the afternoon. We now hope that many of those who attended the Open House, and asked questions, will return as students in the fall.”
This year, Flemingsberg was delighted to report that the number of students on campus has reached 24,000.
Why not become one of them?
Chris Heister: “Everyone who has made this journey feels as though they’re fighting the system a bit.”
Even if Chris Heister shifts down a gear when she leaves her role as council leader in Stockholm, she is unlikely be drawing on her pension any time soon. The class journey she has made from growing up in a countryside idyll, north of Stockholm, has given her a momentum that continually drives her forward.
