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

Lund University has ninefaculties,[6] with additional campuses in the cities ofMalmö andHelsingborg, 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 theLeague of European Research Universities as well as the globalUniversitas 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, andEuropean 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 theLundagård park adjacent to theLund 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 theFaculty of Engineering.

History

Medieval origins

[edit]

The city ofLund has a long history as a centre for learning and was the ecclesiastical centre and seat of the archbishop ofDenmark. Acathedral school (theKatedralskolan) for the training ofclergy was established in 1085 and is today Scandinavia'soldest school.

In 1425, aFranciscanstudium generale (amedieval university) was founded in Lund next to theLund Cathedral (with baccalaureate degree started in 1438), making it the oldest institution of higher education in Scandinavia followed bystudia generalia inUppsala in 1477 andCopenhagen in 1479. After Sweden won Scania from Denmark in the 1658Treaty of Roskilde, the university was founded in 1666 on the location of the oldstudium generale next toLund Cathedral.[9] Thestudium generale had not survived theLutheran Reformation of 1536, which is why the university is considered a separate institution when founded in 1666.

17th–19th centuries

[edit]

After theTreaty of Roskilde in 1658, theScanian lands came under the possession of the Swedish Crown, which founded the university in 1666 as a means of making Scania Swedish by educating teachers in Swedish and culturally integrate the Scania region with Sweden. The university was namedAcademia Carolina afterCharles X Gustav of Sweden until the late 19th century when Lund University became the widespread denomination. It was the fifth university under the Swedish king, afterUppsala University (1477), theUniversity of Tartu (1632, now inEstonia), theAcademy of Åbo (1640, now inFinland), and theUniversity of Greifswald (founded 1456; Swedish 1648–1815, now inGermany).

The university was at its founding granted four faculties:Law,Theological,Medicine andPhilosophy. 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 wereSamuel Pufendorf, a juridical historian; andCanutus Hahn and Kristian Papke in philosophy.[10]

TheScanian 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 theLund 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 withUppsala 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 professorEsaias 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 ofAkademiska Föreningen in the 1830s.[11][12]

In 1845 and 1862 Lund co-hostedNordic student meetings together with theUniversity of Copenhagen.

A student calledElsa Collin was the first woman in the whole of Sweden to take part in aspex (a student comedy show).

20th century – present

[edit]
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

[edit]

The first woman to study in Lund wasHildegard Björck (spring of 1880) who had previously studied inUppsala and had been the first Swedish woman ever to get an academic degree. Her tenure in Lund was however very brief and the medical studentHedda 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 historianBirgitta Odén in 1965, thoughCarin Boalt was made a professor at theFaculty of Engineering, which at the time was a separate institution, in 1964. In 1992Boel Flodgren, Professor of Business Law, was appointedrector magnificus (or, strictly speaking,rectrix magnifica) of Lund University. As such, she was the first woman to be the head of a European university.[citation needed]

Campus

[edit]
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 centralMalmö and 50 km fromCopenhagen. The large student and staff population makes an impact on the city, effectively making it auniversity 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 nearbyMalmö, Sweden's third-largest city. The Faculty of Fine and Performing Arts' three academies:Malmö Art Academy,Malmö Academy of Music andMalmö 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 ofHelsingborg, 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 ofLjungbyhed, about 40 km away from Lund.

Museums

[edit]

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 byKilian Stobaeus, a teacher ofCarl Linnaeus, in 1735. It is divided into three sections: theherbarium, theentomological collections and thezoological collections.[20] The collections are particularly rich in specimens from Sweden and the other Nordic countries, and hold approximately 10,000type 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 ofJohan Wilhelm Zetterstedt,Carl Gustaf Thomson,Carl Adolph Agardh,Anders Jahan Retzius,Erik Acharius,Axel Gustaf Gyllenkrok andSven Nilsson.[20]

Library

[edit]
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 receivedlegal deposit copies of everything printed in the country. Today six Swedish libraries receive legal deposit copies, but only Lund and theRoyal Library inStockholm 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 wasLiberiet close to the city's cathedral. Liberiet was built as a library in the 15th century but now serves as a cafe.

Hospital

[edit]
University Hospital

Education and research in thehealth sciences at the university are operated in cooperation withSkåne University Hospital, located in both Lund and Malmö. Medical education takes place in the Biomedical Centre, next to the hospital in Lund.Nursing andoccupational 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.

Student life

[edit]
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

[edit]
Main article:List of Lund University nations

Thenations in Lund are a central part of the university's history, initially serving asresidential 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 asstudent 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 onebanquet 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

[edit]

In 1830, ProfessorCarl Adolph Agardh formedAkademiska 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 onAF-borgen (the AF Fortress), which is located opposite theMain Building inLundagård. To this day, AF is the center of student life in Lund, featuring many theater companies, mainlyspexes andLund's Student Theater, a prize-winning student radio (Radio AF), and organizing the enormousLundakarnevalen (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

[edit]
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.
