Get to know Uppsala, home of Uppsala University and SLU Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences! One of Sweden’s two historical university towns, Uppsala is a charming city filled with tradition and a student spirit. During termtime, the city’s winding cobblestone streets are filled with students cycling to university – or to one of Uppsala’s many cosy cafés! Student life in Uppsala is known around the country for its unique system of student ‘nations’, where students meet up for fancy dinners known as ‘gasques’, casual pub evenings, social events and much more. Holidays like Walpurgis Eve (the last of April) take on a special meaning in Uppsala, as the whole town becomes an outdoor student festival. Founded in 1477, Uppsala University (UU) is Sweden’s oldest university, and one of its highest ranked internationally. 40 master’s programmes are offered at UU across the spectrum of academic disciplines, including natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, medicine, IT and more. SLU Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences is Sweden’s only agricultural university. Here you’ll find unique specialised master’s programmes in animal science, plant biology, sustainability and environmental science.
