The Student Health Service is there to help you with issues related to student life. These may include stress, insomnia, low self-confidence, performance anxiety, speech anxiety, alcohol or other things that can make student life complicated.

Student Health Services' range of support and advice

As female students are underrepresented on the Bachelor's and Master's programmes in Mathematics, we have a network for them coordinated by our equal opportunities coordinator. Women's breakfasts and women's evenings are organised and advertised on the programme pages in Studium.

There are many student associations, unions and nations to join and get involved in.

Subject specific for you as a maths student are:

• The NVM section is the section within UTN for students studying Bachelor's and Master's programmes in mathematics and it consists of the NVM student council and the Möbius student association
• UTN is the student union for you who are a technology or science student at Uppsala University
• The Mathematical Society of Uppsala has existed for over 125 years and works to promote interest in mathematics in and around Uppsala. The association holds two meetings a year where participants are invited to popular science lectures and coffee. Another appreciated event is the awarding of prizes for meritorious exam papers and degree projects in mathematics. All students are welcome to attend the meetings.

Getting involved in an organisation provides unique experiences and opportunities to grow, learn and contribute. Whether it's planning events, managing communications, or representing student interests, there is always room for committed individuals who want to make a difference and develop professionally.

Use your study years not only to learn in the classroom, but also to gain other valuable contacts, skills and experiences.

Information on how to involve in different posts appointed by the student organisations student asociations.

The Department of Mathematics has a LinkedIn group for mathematics alumni from Uppsala University where students are also welcome to join. By definition, you are an alumni as soon as you have taken course credits with us. There are more than 300 alumni in the group, which gives you examples of possible career paths and networking opportunities. Many alumni welcome questions from students and are happy to answer them.

Every autumn, we organise an alumni event to which we also invite our students. It is a good opportunity to get inspiration and contacts. The event is advertised on our programme pages in Studium.
