Linnaeus University

Linnaeus University is the second largest university in southern Sweden. The first integrated English-language program in non-English-speaking Europe was probably initiated here. There are different centers and institutes for technology development, transport economics and business logistics, labor market research, small business development and humanities. The attractive main campus area includes Teleborg Castle and park, the university library, as well as, the student union and student pub. The total enrollment is over 15,000 students.

VIS, a group of students at the university, arranges activities for all those interested in intercultural activities. The international student life coordinator, who assists all incoming students in practical and social matters, can be found at the student union. This person arranges for each exchange student to have a fadder, or a Swedish mentor, who helps to make your stay as pleasant as possible.
