join local sports clubs or participate in social sports activi-
ties through the nations. Within and around Lund, there
are a range of sporting and exercise facilities, including

routes, kayaking and sailing are all within easy reach.
Te university is highly recommend-
able; I like the landscape, the close sea

from all over the world and had expe-
riences which I will never forget.

Student Halls of Residence: Tese rooms are along
a corridor with other students. Most corridors have 10
to 12 rooms. Te rooms usually have an en suite toilet
but share a common kitchen area, living room space and
in some cases bathrooms. All the shared areas are well
equipped to cater for the students on the corridor, so
kitchens have several fridges and cookers and the living
rooms have televisions. Internet connection is oered in
all corridor rooms but it may attract an additional charge.
Te corridor room may be situated in a Swedish corridor,
where there are predominantly Swedish students, or spe-
cially designated international corridors, where students
have a variety of backgrounds.
Studio ats: Tese are self-contained rooms that combine
a living room, bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette into
one single unit. Te bathroom has a toilet, shower and
wash basin. No areas are shared with other students except
the laundry room.
Furnishings: Rooms and ats are usually furnished with
a bed, mattress, desk, chair, bookshelf and basic lighting
xtures. For ats with their own cooking facilities, uten-
sils may not be included.
LIVING EXPENSES
Te Swedish currency is the krona, abbreviated as SEK.
A typical Swedish student budget is SEK 7 800/month
(approximately USD 1140 or EUR 866) covering food,
housing, clothing, books/materials and leisure time.
Students who rent accommodation from the Interna-
tional Housing Oce can expect typical rents to range
from SEK 2 700 4 500 per month, depending on the
specic accommodation they are oered.

1. XIANG ZHU (China), Masters in Entrepreneurship"You
learh ih a real-li!e cohIexI. We have per!ormed markeI
analyses, contacted potential customers and partners. Then we
have gone back to the classroom to develop strategies so that
we really can carry out our plans.
2. MARISSA FRAYER (USA), Masters in Visual Culture "You
really learn to think critically and analytically. And I am very im-
pressed by the lectures. In the US I met lecturers who were not
very keen on teaching and would rather spend all their time on
their own research. Here the lecturers are so passionate about
their subjects and passing on their knowledge.
3. JAYEON LEE (South Korea), Masters in Welfare Studies As
a foreign student, I like that the relationship between teachers
and students is very informal and relaxed. This helps as semi-
nars and group discussions are a major part of the education.
4. KIM VUONG (Canada), Masters in Managing People,
Knowledge & Change When a lot of focus is placed on the
ihdividual, a loI depehds oh you ahd your sel!-disciplihe Io geI

their studies instead of everything being controlled from the
top by the lecturers.
5. JONAS SONNENSCHEIN, (Germany), Masters Environ-
mental Management and Policy The interdisciplinary envi-
ronment means that you learn to work with people who have
different perspectives, which is very useful. In this way you are
well prepared for working life. I have a background in econom-
ics, but I will work with other people who have engineering
backgrounds, for example.
6. SANJAY HARBADE (India), Masters in Public Health The
relationship between researchers and students at Lund Univer-
sity is fantastic and we have good contact with one another. It
is easy to work in close contact with the lecturers and they really
make an effort to ensure that the students learn and develop.

There are great opportunities available at Lund University if
you make sure to take advantage of them.
8. VENKATACHALAM NARAYANAN (India), Masters in Bio-
technology When we study a subject, our lecturers always
use examples from industry. This means that the students get
a clear link between theory and practice.

26 ACADEMIC LIFE
Critical thinking and freedom of mind are the corner-
stones of academic life at Lund University.
Critical thinking refers to the ability to assess informa-
tion and form independent and well-informed opinions;
to scrutinise and question beliefs; to revise opinions in the
light of new knowledge; to give and receive criticism in
a constructive manner; and to engage in discussion with
fellow students and learn from others.
Freedom of mind refers to the ability to think outside
the box to liberate oneself from conventional wisdoms,
to value the authenticity of ideas and experiences, and to
appreciate and seek fresh perspectives on old ideas.
Critical thinking and freedom of mind are stimulated
in all activities at the university. In seminars, workshops
ACADEMIC LIFE
At Lund University students experience an open, informal study environment, with teachers and students
usually on a rst-name basis. This informal atmosphere is designed to promote social as well as intellectual
development.
Teaching is often done in small groups, which encourages dialogue and collaboration and teachers are
accessible outside lecture hours.

to given problems and assignments. Teoretical concepts
are tested in practical situations, and practical experiences
are employed to develop and enrich theory.
A large part of the learning process takes place outside
the classroom through independent study and discussion
of the course material in groups. Class hours vary from
course to course. Students at Lund University are trained
to e ciently assess large amounts of information with
study techniques taught in the classroom, through work-
shops and by study advisors.
Critical thinking and freedom of mind are not just
analytical skills; they are lifelong wisdom.

cluding more than 400 within EUs Erasmus programme.
You can come to Lund University as an exchange
student either at Bachelors or Masters level. Exchange
students do not pay any tuition fees at Lund University.
WHAT ARE EXCHANGE STUDIES?
Te term exchange student implies that your home uni-
versity has a formal agreement to exchange students with
Lund University. Te agreement can be specic to a fac-
ulty or department at your university or a university wide
agreement. If your university has an exchange agreement
with Lund University, you can become an exchange stu-
dent at Lund for a period ranging from one semester up
to one year.
COURSES FOR EXCHANGE STUDENTS
Lund University oers more than 300 courses in Eng-
lish recommended for exchange students. Tese courses
are presented on our website for up-to-date information.

recognised test of English prociency is recommended,
e.g. the computerised TOEFL-test (213), IELTS (6.0) or
Cambridge Certicate of Prociency).
STUDY STRUCTURE
Studies are usually performed one course at a time, with an
examination or essay at the end of each individual course
nalising the course. Studies at the School of Economics
and Management and at the Faculty of Engineering are
an exception in that 2 or more courses are often studied in
parallel. Courses can be anything from 2 to 20 weeks long,
with 5, 10 and 20 weeks being the most common ranges.
Methods of instruction can vary greatly. Some courses,
mainly in engineering, have as many as 30 formal lecture
hours per week, while some, e.g. social sciences courses,
may have as little as 10 hours, and rely more on the stu-
dents individual reading. Te most common form of in-
struction is lectures to groups of 25-30 students. In some
subjects, laboratory work is a naturally important element.
EXCHANGE STUDENTS WELCOME
Te International Desk coordinates the o cial Arrival
Day, part of the Welcoming Reception for the interna-
tional exchange students at the beginning of each semes-
ter, together with the student unions, student nations and
student mentors.
APPLYING FOR EXCHANGE STUDIES:

30 PHD STUDIES
PHD/DOCTORAL STUDIES
A PhD programme consists of two parts: courses and
thesis, forming a total of 240 ECTS credits, in which the
doctoral thesis is to account for at least 120 credits. A PhD
involves a total of four years of full-time study.
In Sweden a licentiate degree equals the completion
of half of the coursework, or thesis, required for a full
PhD, i.e. a licentiate degree corresponds to two years of
full-time study and at least 60 credits have to be awarded
for a licentiate thesis. It is equivalent to the MPhil of the
British education system.
FUNDING AND FINANCING DOCTORAL STUDIES
In Sweden, the most common form of funding postgradu-
ate study is through appointment to a doctoral student-
ship position or a doctoral study grant position. In both
cases, the University employs the doctoral candidate as a
sta member and pays a salary whilst the doctoral candi-
date undertakes their PhD studies. In return the doctoral
candidate provides some departmental and teaching du-
ties (no more than 20% of their time).
PHD STUDIES
World-class research, outstanding research staff and specialised research environments create a breeding
ground for PhD studies at Lund University. Doctoral candidates at Lund University are not only well prepared
for successful careers as independent researchers but they also have strong possibilities to publish their work
independently during their studies and to gain signicant teaching experience, making them attractive in
the marketplace after graduation.
Lund University offers PhD studies in all eight faculties. There are no tuition fees for PhD studies at Lund
University.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
To be admitted to doctoral studies, you need to have
completed courses for at least 240 credits, of which at
least 60 credits must be for Masters level studies. In
most cases, students will hold a Bachelors degree and a
Masters degree, with a major in the same subject as the
intended postgraduate study. Te major must include a
degree thesis presenting the results of independent re-
search. Te quality of your thesis/theses is of particular
importance and it is important that you demonstrate a
capacity for independent thinking in this piece of work.
Students must have a very good command of English
and you may be asked to include proof of prociency in
the form of a TOEFL or IELTS test, if requested by the
individual department.

ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN
ARCHITECTURE
Today, more people live in cities than in rural areas. Te
drastic global urbanisation is a major challenge for society.
Both the environment and the social and economic equi-
librium are under threat. However, there is now a global
consensus on sustainable and people-friendly housing en-
vironments, in which high-quality architecture plays an
important role. Tis increases demand for skilled archi-
tects with modern training and an understanding of the
major importance of environmental issues.
Lund Universitys School of Architecture produces
creative architects with the ability to identify and address
problems within the eld of architecture and infrastruc-
ture. Te programme is both artistic and academic and
provides comprehensive training in dealing with spatial
design problems and theoretical issues. In recent years the
profession has been further expanded, with examples of
architects who work on product development in industry
or on business development.
Te most outstanding aspect of the School of Architecture
is its international contacts. International guest lecturers
regularly visit and we have students from all over the world,
giving greater breadth and new perspectives to the pro-
gramme. Our students are constantly encouraged to think
outside the box to come up with fresh and ecological ideas.
INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
Te industrial design programme is continuously devel-
oping collaboration with others, focusing on all ongoing
changes in society, business and research. With a cross-
disciplinary approach and professional interaction, you
will benet from Lund Universitys strong position in
Scandinavia and its international focus.
We teach you the skills to help orientate yourself in
the limitless eld of design and to enable you to make
the right decisions, communicate solutions and stand for
results and actions. In projects, workshops, competitions
and exhibitions, students train hard and soft skills alike.
Our partnerships with companies, institutions and other
universities allow you to develop your creativity and per-
sonality independently and in cooperation with others.

Economic demography explores population charac-
teristics and dynamics from an economic perspective.
Economic demography was brought into focus in the
1950s, wheh Ihe UN !ouhd IhaI Ihe world populaIioh
grew more rapidly than previously considered. Today,
the big population topic has shifted to population age-
ing while the issue of population decline is just about
to enter into the agenda.
Population ageing not only implies an increase in
the share of elderly but also an ageing of the labour
!orce. Swihgs ih !erIiliIy durihg Ihe 1940s, 1960s ahd
1980s, creaIe waves ih populaIioh size ahd age sIruc-
ture which have a strong impact on the economy.
Population change, at the same time, is inuenced
both by economic and social factors. Hence, it is of
fundamental importance not to limit our studies to the
cohsequehces o! populaIioh chahge ahd composiIioh
on economic factors and welfare systems, but also to
include analyses of the causes of population change.

Since information systems are prevalent in almost
every aspect of modern business and are required to
achieve todays business strategies, it is important to
understand the wider business context of information
systems as well as how they should be designed to
reach sound technical performance and interaction
qualities. Modern information systems do not have to
be limited to the standard desktop computer or termi-
nal and can be designed for user needs of mobile work-
ers or business people, which places new demands on
design work and interaction models. Likewise, many
of the bread-and-butter systems are either already
built and exist as Legacy systems or are nowadays ICT
commodities bought in the form of COTS (Commer-
cial off-the-shelf) like Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) systems, Supply Chain Management (SCM) sys-
tems, Business Process Management Systems (BPMS),
Enterprise Decision Management (EDM) systems, and
so on. These are then deployed in the organisation.
Thus, the role of IS and ISD changes to accommodate
new use patterns and business processes and strate-
gies in a world of agile and global e-Businesses. The
overall goal of the programme is to provide students
with an advanced understanding of these aspects of
IS and ISD. Following this comprehensive goal, theo-
retical concepts, models and tools will be compared
with real and complex problems in IS and ISD in order
to train students in advanced problem solving. The
programme also aims at introducing, explaining and
applying the methodological aspects of studying ISD.
The programme is capabilities-driven which means

Lund campus
Programme overview
This programme will provide you with a better under-
standing of the various challenges facing the practis-
ing manager and consultant from both theoretical and
pracIical perspecIives. Uhiquely, Ihe programme draws
its inspiration from the internationally recognised
research areas of the lecturers on the programme.
These include the elds of knowledge management,
identity in organisations, organisational culture, and
leadership and change. In particular, the programme
emphasises the strategic nature of the contemporary
challenges associated with managing organisations
and work. Theoretical concepts, models and tools
will be compared with real and complex problems in
organisations in order to train students in advanced
problem solving. The course also aims at introducing,
explaining and applying the methodological aspects of
studying organisations, especially in terms of interven-
tions aimed at bringing about organisational change.
The overall aim is to make sure that our students are
continually challenged to grow both individually and

I liked the idea of a university that is steeped in a bit of
culture and history and I considered the fact that Lund
University is renowned and highly ranked when I chose
my Masters programme. I appreciated the informal na-
ture in Lund and the opportunity of getting to know your
teachers, working with your classmates in a team setting,
and discussing things instead of just being lectured to.

On the nanometre scale, the distinction between disci-
plines such as physics, chemistry and biology becomes
less clear. It is therefore characteristic for nanotech-
nology to have a large degree of interdisciplinarity.
The nanoscience Masters programme at Lund Univer-
sity has its scientic base in a physics description of
nanoscale phenomena, but in addition to nanophysics
you can, depending on your background and interests,
choose to specialise in elds such as nanoelectronics,
materials chemistry or biophysics.
The programme is part of the Nanometer Structure
Consortium, one of the worlds leading nanoscience
research centres. You will interact with cutting-edge
research throughout the programme, starting in the
rst semester and building up to the Masters proj-
ect. Moreover, by taking advantage of the wealth of
courses offered by Lund University, you will be able to
explore the cross-disciplinary nature of nanoscience.
CompuIsory courses. Semiconductor Physics (7.5
ECTS), Processing and Device Technology (7.5 ECTS),
Materials Analysis at the Nanoscale (7.5 ECTS), The
Physics of Low-dimensional Structures and Quantum
Devices (7.5 ECTS), Masters degree project (30 ECTS).
EIecIive courses for specialisations in, for example
Nanophysics, Materials Science or Biosensors. Full list
of courses can be found on the programme website.
Career prospecIs
There is an increasing demand worldwide for people
knowledgeable in nanotechnology. Nanoscientists
are not only needed in specialised nanotechnology
companies but also in more traditional industries,
with more and more nanotechnology being incorpo-
rated into products. Thanks to the close connection
to world-class research, the Masters Programme in
Nanoscience also provides excellent preparation for
doctoral studies and an academic career.
A BSc in physics or nanoscience or an equivalent BSc

Photonics, a science born after the invention of the
laser, combines optics and electronics. It is becoming
increasingly important in our society, as illustrated by
the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physics. For example, optical
bre communication, which relies on optical bres
combined with several other photonics devices, forms
the backbone of today s information technology.
Our Masters programme offers education in the main
areas of photonics: engineering (generation and ma-
nipulation of light), communication (transport of in-
formation by optical and microwave techniques), di-
agnostics (utilisation of light in industry, health care,
etc.) and component technology.

System-on-Chip offers a wide perspective, where
digital and analogue design are regarded as one unit
in which different domains interact. The focus is on
CMOS, where billions of devices are used to build a
system on a single silicon die.
The programme is very popular, with 600-700 ap-
plicants a year. One of the reasons for its popularity is
the fact that it is a unique programme. It spans areas
from radio frequency (RF) circuits to data conversion
and digital circuits. It is also unique in the sense that
circuit design is linked to the area of wireless commu-
nication, where RF front-ends are co-designed with
digital baseband, which gives the possibility to build
complete transceivers.

Programme overviev
The Masters programme in Wireless Communication
is one of the most popular Masters programmes at
Luhd UhiversiIy ahd Ihe mosI popular wireless com-
munication programme in Sweden. The University
has excellent resources in the area of wireless com-
munication, both in terms of state-of-the-art labora-
tory equipment and of lecturers who are often world
leading researchers in the eld. We are convinced that
research and good education go hand in hand. The ex-
perience from research naturally inuences the quality
and content of the courses and vice versa.
The Wireless Communication programme has a focus
on the physical and lower layers of wireless commu-
nication. The aim is to give in-depth system knowl-
edge, which in turn requires insights into the various
components in a wireless system. In the nal semester
students undertake a large project for their Masters
thesis.

The programme gives a solid grounding for a career
in wireless communication, either in industry or in
academia. On completion of the programme, students
have necessary skills for both research and develop-
ment, e.g. understanding and developing future wire-
less systems, developing wireless networks for special
applications and understanding and enhancing existing
solutions. It is also a perfect start for further studies as

ENVIRONMENT & SUSTAINABILITY
Lund University has long had the ambition to be a driv-
ing force for sustainable development. Lund University
not only carries out extensive and diversied research and
education connected to sustainability issues, we are also
actively involved in promoting sustainable development
in collaboration with local, national and international
networks and organisations.
A great number of educational programmes at various
levels relate directly to central sustainability challenges
and the programmes we oer are all characterised by both
a global focus and world-wide recruitment of students.
In many other programmes in elds such as engineer-
ing, law, economics and social sciences, it is also possible to
specialise in issues connected to sustainable development.
Sustainability research at Lund University is characterised
by great diversity and involves numerous disciplines across
all faculties. Research stretches from ecosystems, health
and management of natural resources to sustainable de-
sign and business, as well as issues of social sustainability
and governance challenges in dierent parts of the world.
Many departments are active in this research, along with
several interdisciplinary departments or centres such as
Environmental and Energy Systems Studies at the Faculty
of Engineering, the Centre for Climate and Environment
at the Faculty of Science or the faculty-independent IIIEE
(International Institute for Industrial Environmental Eco-
nomics) and LUCSUS (Lund University Centre for Sus-
tainability Studies).
Many recent major research initiatives in Lund take
an interdisciplinary approach involving researchers from
dierent parts of the university. Among these are long-
term programmes on sustainability-related issues such as
climate modelling, transitions to low-carbon energy and
transport systems, land use, biodiversity and ecosystem
services and sustainability science.
Sustainability research is often connected to interna-
tional programmes, increasingly funded by the EU and
other international organisations, and education is char-
acterised by international involvement via well-developed
academic networks. Transdisciplinary collaboration with
society outside academia is also important. Stakeholders
such as planners, farmers, NGOs or business representa-
tives are often involved in both research projects and teach-
ing. Lund University collaborates closely with the cities
of Lund and Malm on sustainable urban development,
and is a partner of the RCE Skne, the Regional Centre
of Expertise for Education for Sustainable Development.

FINE & PERFORMING ARTS
Our courses combine theoretical studies with practice, so
that every student can fully realise his or her potential as
an artist, musician or actor. A number of prominent art-
ists, both in Sweden and internationally, have studied at
Lund Universitys Faculty of Fine and Performing Arts.
Nathalie Djurberg, who in 2009 won the silver Lion for
her art at the famous Venice Biennale, is just one example.
Applicants undergo a rigorous admissions process.
In order to be admitted, both talent and motivation are
required. Of the some 1 000 applicants to the Malm
Academy of Teatre each year, only between 10 and 12 are
admitted. As a successful candidate you can expect hard
work, but also a unique opportunity to do what you are
passionate about in a stimulating environment.
Both practice and guidance are necessary for students to
develop their artistry. We consider it very important that
the lecturers are practising artists, musicians or actors.
Independent work is also emphasised and at the Malm
Academy of Art, students have access to their own studio
during their studies. After the end of the programme, 90
per cent go on to professional careers as artists.
Participation in the surrounding cultural life is pri-
oritised. Students participate in various public exhibi-
tions, concerts and performances. Tese are often highly
appreciated and well attended, both by local people and
other students. Te Malm Academy of Teatre has its
own theatre in connection with its premises, the Malm
Academy of Art presents its own exhibitions in its student
gallery and the Malm Academy of Music arranges over
200 concerts a year.
Together the academies also run Inter Arts Centre
(IAC), a centre for research and experimentation. Te
environment at the centre is intended to oer opportuni-
ties for interdisciplinary projects between visual art, music
and theatre, but also projects in collaboration with artists
outside the departments.
All three academies have active networks with interna-
tional artists, musicians and performers as guest lecturers.
You therefore have great opportunities to make valuable
contacts for the future.

their own studio from the rst year of study. The school
has workshops !or all relevahI arIisIic Iechhiques.
The Bachelors programme begins with a foundation
course dealing primarily with different artistic tech-
hiques ahd basic arI Iheory. Malm ArI Academy has
no separate departments. Students organise their own
curriculum, choosing from a wide range of technical
and theoretical courses, many of which are taught by

work and thesis, will receive a Bachelors degree in
Fihe ArI (180 uhiversiIy crediI poihIs, equivalehI Io 30
crediIs poihIs !or each semesIer).
The international prole is an important feature of
the Academy. It is accentuated by the close proximity
to Denmark and mainland Europe, as well as by stu-
dent exchanges with art academies in other countries.
The Academy also benets from the rich and interna-
tionally orientated art life in the region, which has
many art galleries, museums and other institutions.
Guest lecturers from visiting artists and critics as well
as various forms of collaborative projects are continu-
ously offered at the Academy.
A contemporary programme in Fine Arts can work in
close connection with cultural, artistic and
scientic currents in the elds of art history and the-
ory, architecture, philosophy, sociology,
psychology and many other subjects. The afliation
with Lund University is a great advantage to the
Malm ArI Academy.
1he Malm ArI Academy also o!!ers a MasIer's pro-
gramme in Fine Art. Admission to the Masters pro-
gramme is later in the spring. The Academy also offers
a !our-year docIoral programme ih Fihe ArI.

MaIm Campus
Programme overview
CriIical SIudies - CriIical ahd Pedagogical SIudies is ah
ihIerhaIiohal posI-graduaIe sIudy programme leadihg
to a Master of Fine Arts degree, and is aimed at break-
ing down the barriers between art theory, practice and
pedagogy. II brihgs IogeIher a small group o! posI-
graduate students from a BFA or similar background.
The programme seeks to encourage applied thinking
within the artistic eld, investigating how we might
both produce and discuss art, as well as educate, and
is organised around intensive seminars led by visiting
professors alongside periods for individual, peda-
gogical and collaborative project development. The
programme intends to incite experimentation and ini-
tiative, especially within the elds of art production,
education, writing and theory. Through the structure
of the programme there will be a focus on how we
discuss, produce, educate and communicate, which
challenges students to be critical of how educational
structures operate, both within the programme itself
and in relation to an educational practice.
Theory will be viewed as a practice, and practice will
be Iheorised. Key issues are criIical Ihihkihg, poliIics o!
representation, art education and pedagogical strat-
egies. The organisers are looking to involve the par-
ticipants in developing the programme and its content
and will expect creative feedback on its progress. It is
intended for participants interested in devising their
own study environments alongside the attendance of
more structured activities.
Malm ArI Academy provides Ihe parIicipahIs wiIh
a collective workspace and personal computers. The
participants may use all premises at the Academy, in-
cluding the library and workshops. Most seminars will
take place at the Academy.
Programme structure
During the rst three semesters, the programme will
cohsisI o! Ihree Iwo-week semihars per semesIer, led
by international artists, theorists and writers, an intern-
ship, as well as focusing on developing individual and
collective projects. Each participant will be designated
a personal tutor.
In addition to this, there will be an ongoing course
throughout all the three semesters.
The rst semester and half of the second are speci-
cally !ocusihg oh 'CriIical 1heory'. 1he !orm o! Ihis com-
ponent, in addition to workshops, will be structured as
readings, lectures and seminars.
Towards the end of second semester and the entire
third semester the focus will be on experimental peda-
gogical strategies and education both on a theoreti-
cal and practical level. The third semester ends with
a 6-week pedagogical ihIerhship, where Ihe sIudehIs
will be plahhihg courses ih !urIher educaIioh (FL) ih

HUMANITIES, LANGUAGES, FILM
& THEOLOGY
Studying at the Faculties of Humanities and Teology at
Lund University means learning about life, for life. In a
world of increasing diverse inuences and rapid social de-
velopment, it is important to be able to reason and discuss
on the basis of basic humanistic values.
We put people and culture in focus and studying with
us is the rst step on a path of lifelong learning, in which
you learn the art of communicating on dierent levels, in
dierent cultures and in dierent ways. We want to give
our students the best possible preparation for their future
careers. We have enthusiastic and knowledgeable lectur-
ers and researchers who cooperate with other researchers
worldwide. Together we create an inspiring, stimulating
and creative study environment.
Tere are many subjects to choose between within hu-
manities and theology at Lund University, and a number
of them have existed in some form since the university
was founded in 1666.
On oer are major and minor languages, historical
and philosophical subjects, dierent perspectives on life
and faith, art history, musicology, lm, journalism and
much more. Humanities and theology not only help to set
the individual in a wider context, but also help to develop
greater knowledge of international environments.
Our humanities and theology graduates work in al-
most all sectors of society and the faculties constantly
develop links to careers in the programmes and courses
on oer. On some courses students can undertake a work
placement and on others students meet guest lecturers
from outside academia. Essays can be written in coopera-
tion with a company, public authority or organisation that
may be interested in a students subject.
Te Humanities Laboratory, which houses high-tech
equipment for the facultys research areas, forms an impor-
tant resource for research within humanities and theology.

LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTICS,

Programme overview
Programme.
Within General Linguistics, typological linguistics,
cognitive linguistics, psycholinguistics and neurolin-
guistics are prole areas. Typological linguistics at-
tempts to dene the connes within which language
structure can vary, and to group the languages of
the world into different classes based on their struc-
Iural characIer. CoghiIive lihguisIics seeks Io obIaih
an understanding of the cognitive mechanisms that
lie at the basis of the learning and use of language.
Psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics investigate the
psychological and neurological correlates of language
structure and processing. In collaboration with the
Humanities Laboratory, students and researchers of
linguistics can study how human cognition is struc-
tured and also which mechanisms guide communica-
Iioh. WiIh Ihe help o! experimehIal equipmehI aI Ihe
laboratory, students can investigate how language
is processed in the brain as people listen, write and
read. For Masters students in General Linguistics there
is also the possibility to delve into many other areas
within the eld of language and language processing.

INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF SOCIAL SCIENCE
Te fundamental questions of our time are social. En-
vironmental problems, armed conicts, nancial crises,
social injustices and poverty all have their roots in social
and political problems that have to be solved.
Te Masters programmes at the International School
of Social Science (ISSS) are taught by engaged teachers
who conduct research in these and other areas.
Research and education at ISSS are characterised by
the seeking of knowledge and a critical analytical attitude
towards societal phenomena. Studying for a Masters de-
gree at ISSS will give you insights that uncover the percep-
tions and assumptions that govern our thinking and the
development of society. You will gain methods and tools
that make implementation and change possible.
Te International School of Social Science oers a
wide variety of Masters programmes that are either in-
terdisciplinary, thematic programmes or programmes in
certain disciplines. Te variety of programmes and courses
makes it possible for most students to nd something to
suit their interests. You can obtain a Masters degree in a
traditional discipline such as Political Science or Sociol-
ogy, or in a thematic eld such as Development Studies
or Global Studies. Te degree you are awarded depends
on the courses you take and within which discipline you
write your Masters thesis. All Masters programmes at
ISSS give you eligibility for PhD studies.
You will have the opportunity to study part of your
programme at one of Lunds partner universities around
the world, within a student exchange programme. Some
programmes also give the possibility to enrol in joint
programmes with international partner universities and
acquire a joint degree.

CENTRE FOR MIDDLE EASTERN STUDIES
Over the last three decades, research on the Middle East has
developed signicantly and is today a priority area for Lund
University. As an international research centre at Lund Uni-
versity, the CMES is also an academic department.
Our Masters in Middle Eastern Studies programme pro-
vides students with the teaching, opportunities and train-
ing you need to pursue a career working with the Middle
East. What is innovative about our programme is that
we recognise the potential of our Masters students by
involving them in research projects and allowing them
to take an active role in the Centres work, development
and events. Such a structure builds a sustainable academic
community between scholars and students that rests upon
values of mentorship.
Te Swedish Research Council recently awarded the
CMES substantial research funding to create an um-
brella research project entitled Te Middle East in the
Contemporary World:
Contemporary Interpretations of Islam and Muslim
Culture
Hydropolitics, Security and International Law
Migration and Mobility
e Middle East in Sweden
CENTRE FOR EAST AND SOUTH-EAST ASIAN STUDIES
In many ways, the 21st century is already witnessing
unique changes occurring throughout East and South-
East Asia. To take just one example, China passed Japan
and became the worlds second largest economy. However,
the rapid growth in China has also resulted in signicant
wealth gaps emerging between dierent regions and be-
tween dierent social groups.
In this rapidly changing world, the traditions and
transformations that are the realities of todays Asia are
best studied in a multi- and interdisciplinary way, combin-
ing the most relevant theories and meticulous eldwork.
At the Centre for East and South-East Asian studies
at Lund University, the researchers are leading experts in
cutting-edge aspects of the contemporary East and South-
East Asian region including the place of heritage in mod-
ern societies, innovation and its legal protection in the
global marketplace, the transformation and internation-
alisation of education, the challenges that legal systems are
facing, alternative Islamic discourses in South-East Asia,
state-building in transitional regimes, transport econom-
ics, and the new role of the media and journalism in the
region. Te Masters programme in Asian Studies has, over
the past 12 years, awarded Masters degrees to more than
250 young scholars from throughout the world.
Te practical skills that I gained through the programme were
of enormous immediate benet to me. Shortly after graduation
I put all that management theory to good use working for seven
months with a local organisation in Rwanda to establish their
M&E systems and rst strategic plan. I then moved into a pro-
gramme manager position with a large international public health
NGO in Kigali. Crystal Milligan (Canada), Masters in International Development & Management.

ing of four 15 ECTS courses), acquire a specialisation
through depth (30 ECTS in one of the four major
disciplines) and width (30 ECTS optional courses) in
year two, which can also be spent abroad, and fur-
ther specialisation and preparation for the working
life (including an opportunity to do an internship or a
minor eld study) in year three.

Lund Campus
Programme overview
Drawing on elds such as anthropology, geography,
sociology and economic history, the programme pro-
vides interdisciplinary perspectives and analytical tools
for communicating about problems of sustainability. It
represents an important complement to technologi-
cal and natural science approaches to sustainability by
focusing on the cultural dimensions of consumption
and resource use, cultural perceptions of environment
and economy, and social science perspectives on the
global distribution of environmental problems. A cen-
tral aim is to help students develop skills in commu-
nicating across boundaries separating the discourses
of different disciplines, cultural traditions, or the in-
terests of business, politics and social movements. The
programme encourages critical scrutiny of the debate
about sustainability, but also a serious commitment to
improvihg humah-ehvirohmehIal relaIiohs worldwide.
It covers the major social and environmental challenges
of our time, including climate change and climate jus-
Iice, uhequal exchahge ahd use o! ecological resources,
and the shifting of environmental risks and problems
to the poorest parts of world society.
1his programme is uhique ih combihihg perspecIives
on sustainability from the humanities, social sciences
and natural sciences. It brings together lecturers and
students from various backgrounds in truly interdisci-
plinary discussions about how culture, power and ecol-
ogy ihIeracI ih humah-ehvirohmehIal relaIiohs. Ih Ihe
third semester, many students are offered work place-
ments with organisations in various parts of the world,
giving them the opportunity to apply their insights to
practical engagement with sustainability policies. In
the autumn of 2010, for example, several students en-
joyed paid work placements with organisations dedi-
cated to improving sustainability in various parts of
Latin America. The programme does not shy away from

try, the Swedish health system consistently ranks highly
worldwide and is a role model for many countries.
Te programmes oered at the Faculty of Medicine at

dependent university ranking association Urank in 2010.
Te area of medicine and health within Lund University
oers a creative environment with students and researchers
from all over the world. Our main task is to gain and spread

throughout their professional careers, students must pre-
pare themselves at an early stage to learn continuously

SCIENCE, GEOGRAPHY & MATHEMATICS
Te future challenge for science is not only to develop
knowledge, but also to bring it forward and make it acces-
sible as a platform for political decisions; humanity faces
big challenges and science plays a decisive role both in
discovering problems and in nding solutions for them.
Knowledge and research within science have laid the
foundation for much of modern societys prosperity. How-
ever, rapid developments in technology and consumption
along with growing economies have also generated global
problems associated with overexploitation of water, land
and air. To ensure a wise exploitation of the planets re-
sources in the future does not only require strengthened
research eorts, but also that politicians and other deci-
sion makers become aware of and base their decisions on
scientic knowledge.
Science at Lund University is characterised by rst-class
research within a variety of areas, from molecular to eco-
logical systems and from biosphere studies to astronomy
and high-energy particle physics. Our research and edu-
cation are carried out within all major research areas: as-
tronomy, biology, chemistry, earth sciences, environmental
sciences, physics and mathematics. Te wide spectrum of
research, with several world-leading research groups, serves
as a platform for outstanding higher education and much
of the teaching is carried out in the laboratories connected
to the research front line. Our teachers are all recruited
from among the active researchers, thus our students are
particularly well trained in scientic method.
If you want to contribute to a sound and sustainable
future development, science education at Lund Univer-
sity is the right choice. An education in science is also a
gateway to a great number of R&D companies and science
parks within the surrounding resund region a hub for
high-tech companies and research organisations especially
within pharmaceuticals/biotechnology, IT/telecommunica-
tion, food and environment. Te resund region is at the
forefront in Europe within these areas.

Programme overview
1his sIrucIured Iwo-year programme o!!ers you Ihe
opportunity to learn about the universe and apply your
knowledge of physics in a vibrant and fast develop-
ing area of science. The rst semester is spent on core
astronomy courses, including high energy astrophysics
and dynamics. In the second semester, you will begin
work oh a 60 LC1S degree pro|ecI uhder Ihe supervi-
sion of internationally well regarded professors, and
Ihis pro|ecI cohIihues over Ihree semesIers. You will
also take four more courses broadening your knowl-
edge of the most exciting areas of modern astrophysics
such as exoplanets and the early universe.
Compulsory courses: SIellar SIrucIure ahd LvoluIioh,
Dynamical Astronomy, Statistical Tools in Astrophysics,
Planetary Systems, Extragalactic Astronomy. Electives:
Astrobiology, High Energy Astrophysics, Introduction

For courses Ihere are hormally abouI 4 hours o! lec-
ture per week as well as additional seminars and work-
shops that are led by the teachers. Note that during the
autumn in the rst year you will take two courses in
parallel at all times. Supervision for the thesis project
is individual, but students receive at least two hours
supervision per week during the whole project. In ad-
dition to that you will be fully integrated into the life
of the department and actively participate in weekly
group meetings and scientic seminars.
Career prospects
Although many of our students go on to do a PhD in
astronomy, we aim to teach skills that are also of broad
use outside academia.
To give an idea of the possibilities open to you, we can
mention that former alumni work at Sony Ericsson, the
Swedish De!ehse Research IhsIiIuIe (FOI), as secohdary
school teachers and on developing the next generation
of instruments to image the retina in the human eye.
Of course we have many students that have gone on
to do a PhD. Past Masters students are doing or have

In the programme you will learn about topics and is-
sues like environmental multimedia modelling, toxicity
testing, pollutant monitoring, bioaccumulation, risk
characterisation, and emerging pollutants e.g. phar-
maceuticals and engineered nanomaterials.
Two courses in ecotoxicology constitute the core of

An understanding of the mechanisms that shape and
modify plant diversity is of fundamental importance
for all biological disciplines. This is the subject for you
if you are interested in plant ecology, systematics,
evolution and biodiversity. You will learn about the
mechanisms that are involved in the evolution of new
plant species and the factors that control plant diversity
and the distribution of plant species. You will come to
understand the way in which mating systems and popu-
lation structure inuence gene ow and genetic diver-
sity in plants. You will study how plants interact with
other organisms and their ability to adapt to environ-
mental change. You will be given a scientically-based
perspective to the conservation biology of plants, and
gain practical experience of ecological and systematic
methodology. Field trips and laboratory work are inte-
grated parts of many courses in this study programme.

MASTERS PROGRAMME
MICROBIOLOGY
Lund Campus
Programme overview
This programme offers a highly competitive educa-
tion in modern microbiology. Molecular biology and
genomics have transformed this topic and underlined
the fundamental importance of microorganisms in
most aspects of biology, from ecology to medicine.
The programme spans from the use of microbial mod-
el organisms to understand function and evolution
of cellular processes to the enormous importance of
microbes in biotechnology, the food and pharmaceuti-
cal industries, hygiene, environmental biotechnology,
etc. Much of this potential is still unexplored and the
programme provides tools and knowledge for a career
in this exciting area.
