SLU is Life Science

SLU – The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences – develops the understanding and sustainable use and management of biological natural resources. SLU, founded in 1977, offers a number of educational programmes, including veterinary medicine, forestry, and landscape architecture.

SLU is heavy on research – about two thirds of the annual turnover goes to research, and close to two thirds of the staff are researchers. SLU participates in a number of national and international academic networks within the Life Science field.

SLU is highly ranked in various national listings, much thanks to the high teacher-per-student ratio and the closeness between research and education.
