BUILDING EUROPE’S CAMPUS FOR GLOBAL HEALTH
Lund University was founded in 1666 and is repeatedly ranked among the world’s top universities. The University has around 45,000 students and more than 8,000 staff based in Lund, Helsingborg and Malmö. We are united in our efforts to understand, explain and improve our world and the human condition.
Lund is considered one of the most popular study locations in Sweden. The University offers one of the broadest ranges of programmes and courses in Scandinavia, based on cross-disciplinary and cutting-edge research. The unique disciplinary range encourages boundary-crossing collaborations, both within academia and with society at large, creating excellent conditions for scientific breakthroughs and innovations. The University has a distinctly international profile, having partnerships with higher education institutions in approximately 75 countries.
Lund University has an annual turnover of EUR 892 million, of which two-thirds go to research in our nine faculties, enabling us to offer one of the strongest and broadest ranges of research in Scandinavia.
The establishment of the world-leading facilities MAX IV and European Spallation Source (ESS) will have a major impact on future scientific and industrial development in both materials science and life science. MAX IV is the leading synchrotron radiation facility in the world, while ESS will feature the world’s most powerful neutron source when it is fully operational by the end of 2027. These facilities, together with the new University campus in Science Village, will constitute a scientific complex and international hub for research, education and innovation in which Lund University plays a central role.
