FAQs.
When is ARKAD 2024?

Fair opening hours are:
10–16, November 12;
10–15, November 13
The week before ARKAD is the Event Week, during which there will be lunch lectures. Sign up in the ARKAD app!
Where is ARKAD?
We’re in Kårhuset, E-huset, Studiecentrum and X-Lab. All close at the LTH campus, easily accesible by tram if you’re travelling from Lund C; or by regional busses (yellow) 103, 170, 171.
Who is ARKAD for?
ARKAD is mostly aimed at students at LTH, engineers and architects. However, anyone with an interest in the topics taught at LTH will find companies of interest to them. Ths includes economists, natural science students, etc.
We are an open fair and anyone can come attend!
Which exhibitors are attending?
175 exhibitors. They represent all different areas of interest for LTH students. You will find a handy catalogue in the app. Exhibitors will be grouped (as much as possible) by industry on the fair for easier navigation.
If only a few companies are interested in my studies, what should I do?
We recently made changes to how we work towards companies and students. By instead searching for traits associated with various fields of work or industries you will likely find more companies if you broaden your senses.
Some sectors, however, are more willing to attend fairs, which is unfortunate. We work hard on broadening the profile we provide. However, many companies are interested in engineers regardless of specialization. Many companies offer diverse options for work, that can suit people from almost any field of engineering.
We recommend talking to many different companies, regardless of your areas of interest. They all provide interesting insights into your career trajectory after university.
How should I interact with the companies?
This is very personal and depends a lot on what you want to get out of your interaction. We suggest making a mental plan rating some companies that you want to talk with more in-depth and preparing for those interactions. You can also try talking with your Student Guidance Cousellor (SVL) who can provide tips and ways of moving past uncertainties to achieve your goal (psst. we publish a weekly tip/suggestion from the SVLs on our instagram and facebook).
If you are specifically looking for CV-boosting tips, we recommend attending the ARKAD Career Rooms which will be available during the fair! (More info on them will be posted)
How do I get a Student Session?
Student Sessions will be available through the ARKAD app. Students apply to sessions with companies and if a company selects them, they get to book an empty time slot and attend their interview. This is an excellent way to get close to one specific company of interest.
Keep an eye on our social media for more information regarding Student Sessions!
