Högskolepodden

Högskolepodden is part of SFS's anniversary investment. Here you will get the latest news from the higher education policy sector, tips from the unions and in-depth interviews with actors in the higher education sector.

With Högskolepodden SFS wants to contribute with a platform to talk about, discuss and dive deep into higher education policy and student influence. The podcast will come out once a month. Each section will cover different topics and have different guests.
