Lund University

Lund University (Swedish: Lunds universitet) is a public research university in Sweden and one of
Northern Europe's oldest universities. The university is located in the city of Lund in the Swedish
province of Scania. It traces its roots back to 1425, when a Franciscan studium generale was
founded in Lund. After Sweden won Scania from Denmark in the 1658 Treaty of Roskilde, the
university was officially founded in 1666 on the location of the old studium generale next to Lund
Cathedral.

Lund University has nine faculties,[6] with additional campuses in the cities of Malmö and
Helsingborg, with around 47,000 students[3] in 241 different programmes and 1,450 freestanding
courses. The university has 560 partner universities in approximately 70 countries. It belongs to the
League of European Research Universities as well as the global Universitas 21 network.[7] Among
those associated with the university are five Nobel Prize winners, a Fields Medal winner, prime
ministers and business leaders.

Two major facilities for materials research have been recent strategic priorities in Lund: MAX IV, a
synchrotron radiation laboratory – inaugurated in June 2016, and European Spallation Source (ESS),
a new European facility that will provide up to 100 times brighter neutron beams than existing
facilities today, to be operational by the end of 2027.[8]

The university centres 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 northeastern
periphery of the town, where one finds the large campus of the Faculty of Engineering.

University became the widespread denomination.
https://www.lunduniversity.lu.se
It was the fifth university under the Swedish king,
after Uppsala University (1477), the University of
Tartu (1632, now in Estonia), the Academy of Åbo (1640, now in Finland), and the University of
Greifswald (founded 1456; Swedish 1648–1815, now in Germany).

The university was at its founding granted four faculties: Law, Theological, Medicine and Philosophy.
They were the cornerstones, and for more than 200 years this system was in effect. Towards the
end of the 17th century, the number of students hovered around 100. Some notable professors in
the early days were Samuel Pufendorf, a juridical historian; and Canutus Hahn and Kristian Papke in
philosophy.[10]

The Scanian War in 1676 led to a shut-down, which lasted until 1682. The university was re-opened
largely due to regional patriots, but the university was not to enjoy a high status until well into the
19th century. Lecturing rooms were few, and lectures were held in the Lund Cathedral and its
adjacent chapel. The professors were underpaid.

In 1716, Charles XII of Sweden entered Lund. He stayed in Lund for two years, in between his warlike
expeditions. Lund and the university attracted a temporary attention boost. The most notable
lecturer during this time was Andreas Rydelius.

Peace was finally restored with the death of Charles XII in 1718, and during the first half of the 18th
century, the university was granted added funds. The number of students was now around 500.
Despite not being on par with Uppsala University, it had built a solid reputation and managed to
attract prominent professors.

Around 1760 the university's reputation dropped as the number of students fell below 200, most of
whom hailed from around the province. However, by 1780 its reputation was largely restored and
continued to rise through the 1820s. This was largely owing to popular and well-educated lecturers
particularly in philology; the prominent professor Esaias Tegnér was a particularly notable character
with widespread authority. He, in turn, attracted others towards Lund. One of these was the young
theological student C. G. Brunius, who studied ancient languages under Tegnér and was later to
become a professor of Greek. With time he was to devote himself to architecture and he redesigned
several of Lund's buildings, as well as churches of the province.

In 1829, the murder at Locus Peccatorum occurred in the Locus Peccatorum residence at the
university. Jacob Wilhelm Blomdahl, a theology student, beat his fellow student Anders Landén to
death in the night. Blomdahl was later executed for the murder, and the controversy the murder
created around the conditions of student life were a factor in the creation of Akademiska
Föreningen in the 1830s.[11][12]

In 1845 and 1862 Lund co-hosted Nordic student meetings together with the University of
Copenhagen.

A student called Elsa Collin was the first woman in the whole of Sweden to take part in a spex (a
student comedy show).
20th century – present

The University Square in the 1910s.

In the early 20th century, the university had a student population as small as one thousand,
consisting largely of upper-class pupils training to become civil servants, lawyers and doctors. In the
coming decades, it started to grow significantly until it became one of the country's largest. In 1964
the social sciences were split from the Faculty of Humanities. Lund Institute of Technology was
established in 1961 but was merged with Lund University eight years later.

In recent years, Lund University has been very popular among applicants to Swedish higher
education institutions, both nationally[13] and internationally.[14][15] For studies starting in autumn
2012, Lund received 11,160 foreign master's applications from 152 countries, which was roughly
one third of all international applications to Swedish universities.[14]

Women at the university

The first woman to study in Lund was Hildegard Björck (spring of 1880) who had previously studied
in Uppsala and had been the first Swedish woman ever to get an academic degree. Her tenure in
Lund was however very brief and the medical student Hedda Andersson who entered the university
later in 1880 (two years before the next woman to do so) is usually mentioned as the first woman at
Lund University.[16] Hilma Borelius was the first woman who finished a doctorate in Lund, in 1910.
The first woman to be appointed to a professor's chair was the historian Birgitta Odén in 1965,
though Carin Boalt was made a professor at the Faculty of Engineering, which at the time was a
separate institution, in 1964. In 1992 Boel Flodgren, Professor of Business Law, was appointed
rector magnificus (or, strictly speaking, rectrix magnifica) of Lund University. As such, she was the
first woman to be the head of a European university.
Campus

Kungshuset, the oldest university building

(completed 1584)

The university's facilities are mainly located in the small city of Lund in Scania, about 15 km away
from central Malmö and 50 km from Copenhagen. The large student and staff population makes an
impact on the city, effectively making it a university town. Over a hundred university buildings[17]
scatter around town, most of them in an area covering more than 1 km2, stretching towards the
north-east from Lundagård park in the very centre of town. Buildings in and around Lundagård
include the main building, Kungshuset, the Historical Museum and the Academic Society's
headquarters. The main library building is located in a park 400 meters to the north, followed by the
large hospital complex.

Lund University has a satellite campus in nearby Malmö, Sweden's third-largest city. The Faculty of
Fine and Performing Arts' three academies: Malmö Art Academy, Malmö Academy of Music and
Malmö Theatre Academy, are all located in Malmö. The city is also the location of Skåne University
Hospital, where Lund University performs a considerable amount of research and medical training.

Campus Helsingborg is, as the name suggests, located in the city of Helsingborg, almost 50 km
from Lund. Opened in 2000, it consists of a building in the city center, right next to the central train
station and the harbor. Nearly 3,000 students are based on the campus.[18] The Department of
Service Management and the Department of Communication and Media are among those located at
the campus in Helsingborg.

Teaching and training at the School of Aviation (LUSA) take place at an airfield next to the town of
Ljungbyhed, about 40 km away from Lund.
Museums

The Biological Museum is a research collection, not having public exhibitions. It possesses between
10 and 13 million specimens of plants and animals.[19] The museum was founded by Kilian
Stobaeus, a teacher of Carl Linnaeus, in 1735. It is divided into three sections: the herbarium, the
entomological collections and the zoological collections.[20] The collections are particularly rich in
specimens from Sweden and the other Nordic countries, and hold approximately 10,000 type
specimens The collections were previously known as the Botanical Museum and Museum of
Zoology. These were merged into the Biological Museum in 2005. The museum is a part of the
Department of Biology, Faculty of Sciences.[21] It holds the historically important collections of
Johan Wilhelm Zetterstedt, Carl Gustaf Thomson, Carl Adolph Agardh, Anders Jahan Retzius, Erik
Acharius, Axel Gustaf Gyllenkrok and Sven Nilsson.[20]

Library

University Central Library

Lund University library was established in 1668 at the same time as the university and is one of
Sweden's oldest and largest libraries. Since 1698 it has received legal deposit copies of everything
printed in the country. Today six Swedish libraries receive legal deposit copies, but only Lund and
the Royal Library in Stockholm are required to keep everything for posterity. Swedish imprints make
up half of the collections, which amount to 170,000 linear meters of shelving (2006). The library
serves 620,000 loans per year, the staff is 200 full-time equivalents, and the 33 branch libraries
house 2600 reading room desks.[22] The current main building at Helgonabacken, designed by
architect Alfred Hellerström,[23] opened in 1907. It was named Sweden's most beautiful building in
2019.[24] The old library building was Liberiet close to the city's cathedral. Liberiet was built as a
library in the 15th century but now serves as a cafe.
Hospital

University Hospital

Education and research in the health sciences at the university are operated in cooperation with
Skåne University Hospital, located in both Lund and Malmö. Medical education takes place in the
Biomedical Centre, next to the hospital in Lund. Nursing and occupational therapy were taught in the
Health Sciences Centre nearby, but have since then moved to the newly inaugurated Forum
Medicum, which brings all health sciences disciplines under one roof. The university also operates
the Clinical Research Centre in Malmö, featuring many specialized laboratories. There are over 100
faculty.

Accommodation

LU Accommodation offers housing in the cities of Lund, Malmö and Helsingborg. There are different
room types including dormitory rooms, studio flats and one and two-bedroom apartments.
Organisation

Administration

Student life

AF-borgen, the student-run

complex at the heart of student
life in Lund, May 2002.

Lund student life is based on three central structures: the student nations, the Academic Society
(AF) and the student unions. Until 1 July 2010, students were required to enroll in a student union,
nation and AF in order to receive grades at the university, but this is no longer compulsory.[54]
Students may still enroll in these organizations if they wish.

Student nations

The nations in Lund are a central part of the university's history, initially serving as residential
colleges for students, organized by geographic origin. Östgöta Nation, the oldest nation, was
established in 1668, two years after the university was founded. While the nations still offer limited
housing, today they are best described as student societies.

Today students may enroll in any nation, although the nations still preserve their geographic names.
In most cases, it does not matter what nation one enrolls in, but different nations offer different
activities for interested students.

Each nation has student housing, but the accommodations in no way meet demand, and they are
usually appointed according to a queue system. Most nations tend to have at least one pub evening
per week, with a following night club. The solemn peak event in the course of an activity year is the
organization of student balls once a year. Most well known of the nation balls (as opposed to balls
organized by student unions) is the ball hosted by Göteborgs Nation - called the "Gustaf II Adolf Ball"
(also known as the "GA-Ball"). Most nations also host at least one banquet per week, where a three-
course dinner is served. Each nation also has different activities based on students' interests. All
activities within the nations are run by volunteer workers.

The Academic Society

In 1830, Professor Carl Adolph Agardh formed Akademiska Föreningen (The Academic Society),
commonly referred to as AF, with the goal of "developing and cultivating the academic life" by
bringing students and faculty from all departments and student nations together in one
organization. Prince Oscar, then Sweden's Chancellor of Education, donated 2000 Kronor to help
found the society. In 1848, construction began on AF-borgen (the AF Fortress), which is located
opposite the Main Building in Lundagård. To this day, AF is the center of student life in Lund,
featuring many theater companies, mainly spexes and Lund's Student Theater, a prize-winning
student radio (Radio AF), and organizing the enormous Lundakarnevalen (the Lund Carnival) every
four years. "AF Bostäder", an independent foundation with close ties to Akademiska Föreningen,
maintains over 5,700 student residences in Lund.[55]

Student unions

The Delphi residential area, located in the

northern part of Lund, is one of the large
student housing complexes run by AF
Bostäder.

The student unions represent students in various decision-making boards within the university and
counsel students regarding their rights, housing and career options. There are nine student unions,
one for each faculty and an additional union for doctoral students.[56] Lund's Doctoral Student Union
is further divided into councils, one for each faculty except for the faculties of engineering and fine
and performing arts.[57]

The unions are incorporated into the Association of Lund University Student Unions (LUS). It has
two full-time representatives who go to weekly meetings with the vice-chancellor and other
organizational university bodies. The student union association runs services such as a loan
institute, a day-care center and a website with housing information. It also publishes the monthly
Lundagård magazine.
