Institution overview

Lund University is a Swedish university founded in 1666, with its principal academic setting in Lund in southern Sweden. It also has educational activities in Helsingborg and Malmö. These locations support different combinations of disciplines within the same university, rather than a uniform set of programmes at every site. Its educational provision spans humanities, social sciences, economics and management, law, engineering, science, medicine, and fine and performing arts. Students can follow bachelor's and master's programmes and undertake doctoral research. Swedish and English are used across the portfolio, including English-language programmes intended for an international applicant community. The university brings together faculties, departments and research centres, with subject-based education connected to scientific and scholarly investigation. Its international study website separates programme information from student-life guidance, making it possible to explore academic choices alongside housing, practical arrangements and support. Collaboration with organisations, researchers and communities forms part of its wider activities. Sustainability and international engagement are also institutional themes, while particular research facilities and professional learning environments vary by discipline and location.
