You are making the earth a more resourceful place, and laying the foundation for a successful career.
We hope that your experience with us will be rewarding, valuable and enjoyable. Beginning a new academic year can be daunting, especially when it involves moving to a new town or country. We have created this website to support and assist you as a new student, providing you with useful information, advice and tips.
SLU is a small university with a very big purpose: to provide the necessary knowledge and skills to achieve global sustainable development. The programmes and courses offered at SLU are very unique, as is the combination of teaching and research. Not only does SLU have the highest teacher-to-student ratio in Sweden, we engage students in issues that are relevant today and increasingly important to the future. SLU will provide you with exciting and practical academic experiences, and an over-all first-class education.
We hope you will find student life in Sweden interesting, enlightening and most of all, fun. Your time spent outside the classroom is an important learning experience. Make the most of living in Sweden and explore your surroundings, meet new people and absorb as much of the culture and language as possible.
Remember that all SLU staff members are here to support you as a member of the university community, so please don’t hesitate to make contact and ask questions.
