Lund University, Sweden
Lund University is the top-ranked university of Sweden, and it is one of the oldest and broadest universities in northern Europe. Lund University is the best choice for international students studying in Sweden due to its unique combination of traditional student nations (social clubs), an academic society and student unions organizing various events and activities year round. In Lund, about 90% Swedes speak English. Many companies, that have taken sustainability management seriously, such as Ericsson, Tetra Pak, and Gambro and Alfa Laval, are located in Lund and cooperate with the University.
Lund University has been a driving force for sustainable development. A number of graduate programs at Lund have courses that relate directly to sustainability challenges.
Master's Program in Environmental Science, Policy and Management (MESPOM)
Master’s Program in Disaster Risk Management and Climate Change Adaptation
Exchange students on a Master's level are welcome to choose courses provided that they are eligible and there are places available. Please note that courses in this program are given only during the autumn semester. Please see the course catalogue here.
Master’s Program in Energy Efficient and Environmental Building Design
Exchange students on a Master's level are welcome to choose courses provided that they are eligible and there are places available. Please note that the entire program is given at our Helsingborg campus, thus students will either have to ask for accommodation near the Helsingborg campus or stay in Lund and commute (it takes about 20 minutes with the surface metro which is very frequent).
