Presentation by Karin Knutsson 17th June.
Karin Knutsson - Profile

I am the group manager for the Project Support team at the International Relations Office, KTH Education Office. My expertise lies in developing and implementing administrative procedures for joint education programmes with or without external funding. In 2010, I was given the task to be the administrative project coordinator for four Erasmus Mundus programmes, and since then, I have been working with joint programmes at all levels. Lately, the challenge of joint PhD education has been the focus.

At KTH, I lead the quality assurance group for joint education (BUS). The group collects expertise from colleagues at the KTH Management office and the KTH Education office. The distinguishing feature of the group is that we handle questions for joint programs for which there are no previous routines or guidelines at KTH. After preparation, a solution is proposed for the KTH management, resulting in innovative development at KTH.

I am active in the Unite! Community Innovative teaching and learning together with Eija Kujanpää at Aalto. The two of us are leading an eminent expert team for Joint Programmes at the Master’s level.

The expert team has written a handbook for joint Master’s level and developed a filtering tool for administrative concerns. You will be acquainted with these on-line tools during the course Competencies for Collaborative Teaching in Joint Programmes in August.
