Social environments at university

“The social environments” is an overall term for the social relationships and communities that develop and arise in connection with the programme within and outside of class teaching. This applies both to the formal and informal relationships that arise, for example in classes, in study groups, at academic and social events, meetings in councils and boards as well as through spontaneous meetings in the hallway or in the canteen. The social student environments are thus about student relationships and communities with other students, tutors, mentors, teachers, counsellors, administrative staff and other university staff.
