Student Living Nordics 2024

We are delighted to open 2024’s regional Student Living event calendar in the Nordics for an online event on Thursday the 16th of May.

The session, which includes data insights from the Head of European Living Sectors from our partners at Knight Frank, and 4 representatives from the Student Housing sector in the Nordics joining a panel discussion, looks to explore the challenges and opportunities facing stakeholders involved in the delivery of student housing across the region

With unprecedented demand from an increasing number of domestic and international applicants, the Nordics continues to attract a growing student population. With this growth comes an increased reliance on a range of other student facing facilities and the supply of housing is rightly considered the 2nd most important factor in student choice in the Nordics and throughout Europe following university, and academic course selection.

We envisage tackling the challenges head-on in our session, exploring the macro factors at play such as material costs inhibiting construction of affordable housing throughout the region and the increasingly important issue of wellbeing in the sector.

We will analyse if the shortage of appropriate housing is impacting upon student recruitment in the region and what the longer-term effects of this situation may mean for student recruitment and retention.

As ever, what makes our events work is the participation of our attendees and the questions they pose the panellists and the Class Foundation more generally. We encourage polite debate and hope to propel some collaboration with key stakeholders to take steps to correct the current imbalance.

The Class Foundation seeks to create safe and creative spaces for our partners and contributors to share observations, explore the challenges and develop opportunities for us to jointly develop The Next Chapter for our globally valuable sector.
