University profile Lund University has a long and vibrant history covering almost 350 years of teaching. It has evolved from just a few hundred students and professors, being paid with meat and grain, into its present form with around 46,000 students and a position of excellence in international teaching and research. Lund University grew strongly throughout the 20th century and is today Sweden's largest institution of higher education and research. 'Ad utrumque paratus,' 'prepared for both,' is Lund University's motto, referring to the book and the sword in the University's seal from the 17th century. Today the expression can be applied to a number of the dual values for which the University stands, such as tradition and innovation or breadth and depth.

Courses in English at various departments usually require that students already have a certain background in the subject (at least one year of full-time studies on the subject before applying for courses). Lund University also offers exchange students, regardless of discipline affiliation, the opportunity to take courses in a wide range of subjects, including Swedish culture and society and also European and global issues. They do not require previous knowledge in the subject.
Undergraduate programs NOT open to exchange students • The Department of Industrial Design and the School of Architecture demand 3 years of prior studies in the subject as well as a portfolio.
• There is a high demand for courses at the School of Economics and Management. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a full-time course load of solely Economics and Management coursework. Furthermore, we cannot guarantee admittance to certain high-demand courses, even if a student is eligible.
• Journalism courses are taught in Swedish, and are generally not available to exchange students.
• Exchange students may be categorically excluded from specific English-language taught courses that are part of certain degree programmes (Closed MSc programmes, for example).
• Please note that courses offered at the Faculty of Law are all on Master level and all students must have relevant undergraduate studies corresponding to three years at University level, read more from here: https://www.law.lu.se/#!exchangestudies-courses

Dormitory information http://www.lunduniversity.lu.se/student-life/housing 

Lund University is receiving large numbers of international students year by year and this has an impact on the housing situation.
Since Lund University does not own its own student housing properties but rely on long-term and tight cooperation with agencies, the number of rooms available for students is very limited. We cannot provide a housing guarantee and the students need to be prepared to investigate various options and search actively.

塾生コメント

▪スウェーデンは世界の最先端で活躍している企業を多数輩出し、また、教育水準も世界最高峰であり、自分を鍛え直すことができると思い志望した。
▪学生都市であり、治安は非常に良く、日本よりも安全といっても過言ではない。
▪授業内容を「暗記」ではなく「理解」したうえで考えをどう発展していくのかが試験ではかなり重要視され、非常にためになった。
