  The cities of Västerås and Eskilstuna are beautifully situated on either side of Lake Mälaren, one of Sweden's largest inland lakes. Both campuses are centrally located, which adds to the university's attractions and to the vitality of both city centers. Whether a course is offered in Eskilstuna or Västerås is of little importance, as students and staff travel between the campuses free of charge during working hours. 

  The cities are large enough to provide a wide range of cultural activities, entertainment and sporting facilities. The region also provides a range of outdoor leisure activities. During the summer there are excellent facilities for golf, sailing, swimming and rambling. In the winter it is possible to ski and to skate on the frozen waters of Lake Malaren. The two cities are approximately 100 km from Stockholm and can easily be reached by bus or train within one hour.
