Abstract (Swedish)
Time to degree is one of the main concerns not only for the students but also for the colleges and universities all around the world. Time to degree could be influenced by different features, such as age, gender or admission criterion and so on. Survival analysis could be used to calculate the probability for a student to graduate in any specified length of semesters while Cox proportional hazard model could be fitted to study the factors that have effects on time to degree. Students who come from different background will actually have different time to graduate.
