Lund University is located in Lund in southernmost Sweden, is one of Sweden's most prestigious universities and Scandinavia's largest institution for education and research, frequently ranked among the world's top 100 universities. The university was founded in 1666 and is the second oldest within Sweden's present borders, but can arguably trace its roots back to 1438.

Lund University has 8 faculties, with additional campuses in the cities of Malmö and Helsingborg, with a total of over 42,500 students enrolled in more than 50 different programmes and 800 separate courses. It belongs to the League of European Research Universities as well as the global Universitas 21 network.

The university traditionally centers on the Lundagård park adjacent to the Lund Cathedral, with various departments spread in different locations in town, but mostly concentrated in a belt stretching north from the park connecting to the university hospital area and continuing out to the north-eastern periphery of the town, where one finds the large campus of the Lund Institute of Technology.

Lund University is internationally known as Scandinavia's largest research university. The university has eight faculties and many research centres and specialized institutes. Approximately 42,500 students study within one of the 100 educational programs, the eighteen international master’s programmes or the 1,400 courses. Almost three hundred courses are, or can be, held in English for the benefit of our international exchange students. There are several programs allowing foreign students to study abroad at the University. Notable exchanges include United States Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who spent time at Lund University in the 1960s conducting research.
