- A very welcome result, one should keep in mind that it is very rare for university colleges to be able to compete with the large universities in these kinds of rankings, says Erika Rosen, strategist at the University of Gävle.

-It’s great that the Preschool Teacher Education Programme receives attention in this way. Of course we previously knew that the education has a good reputation among students because of the high search pressure since its start in 2011, says programme director Anna Eriksson.
