Malmö University
Malmö University was founded in 1998 and is Sweden's eighth largest university of undergraduate studies. Located in the centre of Malmö at Universitetsholmen, the university has played a central role in the transformation of Malmö from an industrial town to a centre of learning.

Malmö University strives to be a university open to all; a university that is structured to cope with an ever-changing job market through a multi-disciplinary approach. This is also one of the reasons we make an effort to attract students with a non-academic social background.
Malmö University has four school and faculty areas, all of which are multi-disciplinary. This means that several sciences meet under one roof, each one enriching the other. It also means that the university's courses and programmes give graduates a wider outlook as they prepare for their professional or academic careers.
