Stockholm University in world ranking tables

Stockholm is the capital of Sweden and one of the most prominent academic centres in northern Europe. The city is made up of several islands and is surrounded by water. The water is so clean that you can actually swim in the middle of the city. In the summer the the sun never fully sets and people gather in open bars, restaurants and parks to enjoy the light and the temperate climate. In the wintertime it is often possible to ice skate in the middle of the city.

Education of high quality

Research is also of great importance for the students' opportunities once their education is completed. At the Faculty Science, Stockholm University, the links between research and teaching are strong. The proportion of researchers who teach is high, in a national as well as an international context, and the professors are deeply engaged in the transfer of knowledge. In this way the students are directly exposed to the latest research results during their training, and obtain useful knowledge in demand on the job market.

Many international contacts

Being in the centre of events also means rich possibilities for international exchange. There are many opportunities for study abroad, mainly within Europe but also in, e.g. the USA, Canada and Australia. As the time for the 'examination project' approaches, it is an advantage to have access to the large labour market of the Stockholm area. It is easy to find interesting and challenging tasks which will lead you towards a good job, or give you an entry ticket into the research world.
