what does university of toronto has to do with blekinge institute of technology?

That is a question to pose! But, one of the tutors at CareerCenter, Ulrica Skagert, is in Toronto on a research trip. All distance students and the students who need guidance in English receive this in an atmosphere from University of Toronto.

On Wednesdays between 14.00 and 18.00 Swedish time (Canadian time: from morning until noon) the chat will be open, and you are welcome to chat about everything from CV-writing to degree projects. You can also reach BTH CareerCenter in Toronto via mail at usk@bth.se. The chat works as a digital drop-in, and then the actual guidance works through mailing documents back and forth with comments. For more elaborate guidance Adobe Connect is used.

University of Toronto is Canada’s largest and most distinguished university. Here 70.000 students put their heads together to work for degress in all imaginable topics. University of Toronto pride themselves with three Nobel Laureats, two in Medicine, Sir Frederick Banting and J.J.R. Macleod for the role of insulin in controlling diabetes, and one in Chemistry, John C. Polanyi. Ulrica is a visiting scholar at the English Department, and has her workplace at Massey College where students and researchers from all disciplines meet to exchange ideas. The rumour goes that the only Swedes having visited the college prior to Ulrica are the King and Queen.
