Uppsala University has a mission to gain and disseminate knowledge for the benefit of humankind and for a better world. It was founded in 1477 and is currently ranked among the top universities of the world. Eight Nobel laureates have been connected with the university. It has around 45000 students among which some 4500 are international studying on bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral level.
The research at Uppsala University helps us understand our society and improve the world, making life easier for many people. It reveals new perspectives on the fundamental questions of science and, at the same time, builds knowledge that contributes to environmental sustainability, human health, and social progress. It is no surprise that as many as 35% of all our master’s graduates go on to PhD programmes somewhere in the world.
As a student at Uppsala University, you will meet the latest research in modern premises and laboratories. At the same time, you have the opportunity to experience centuries-old traditions and exciting offerings of choirs, orchestras, and other activities at our student nations. On our newest campus, in the World Heritage town of Visby, ancient cultural milieus are right around the corner as well.
