List of universities and colleges in Sweden

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected fromList of universities in Sweden)

It has been suggested that this article besplit out into a new article titledSwedish universities in international rankings. (Discuss)(June 2023)

Thislist ofuniversities inSweden is based on the Higher Education Ordinance of 1993 (as amended until January 2006). With few exceptions, allhigher education in Sweden is publicly funded.

The Swedish higher education system differentiates betweenuniversitet andhögskola (university anduniversity college respectively). The universities are research-oriented and may award Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctor's degrees in many academic fields, whereas the högskolor usually are more focused on applied sciences, and only have limited rights granting doctor's degrees. Note, however, that some universities still call themselveshögskola in Swedish, mainly older specialised institutions in engineering and medicine (for instanceKTH Royal Institute of Technology is called "Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan" andChalmers University of Technology is called "Chalmers Tekniska Högskola"). Also, both proper universities and högskolor are translated to "university" in English, where in the latter case, some argue that "university college" would be more correct.

Public universities

[edit]

The order of precedence is based on their year of establishment as a university. OnlyUppsala University (est. 1477[1]) andLund University (est. 1666[2]) were actually founded asuniversities, whereas all the other universities were raised fromhögskola (university college) status to the higher university status after they had been founded.

Two universities founded under Swedish rule, theUniversity of Tartu from 1632 (now inEstonia) and theRoyal Academy of Turku from 1640 (later established asUniversity of Helsinki, now inFinland), as well as theUniversity of Greifswald from 1456 (now inGermany but afief held bySweden 1631–1806, Swedish 1806–1815), are excluded from the list.

Public university colleges

[edit]

AHögskola (=university college in English) is an institution of higher education, similar to a university but typically smaller and with PhD-rights in fewer areas. The right to award doctoral degrees is in Sweden given and monitored by the Swedish Higher Education Authority in the same way for universities and university colleges. The public 'högskola' are:
