Malmö University

Malmö University (Swedish: Malmö universitet) is a Swedish university located in Malmö, Sweden, with more than 24,000 students and about 1,600 employees it is the ninth largest in Sweden. Education at Malmö University focuses on, among other things, migration, international relations, political science, sustainability, urban studies, and new media and technology. It often includes elements of internship and project work in close cooperation with external partners.

Located at Universitetsholmen in the centre of the city, the university has played an important role in the transformation of Malmö from an industrial town to a centre of learning. A large part of the campus was constructed on grounds which, up to the mid-1980s, belonged to the Kockums shipyard, which had been a key element of naval-industrial Malmö. Founded as a university college (“högskola”) in 1998, the Swedish minister for higher education and research conferred full university status on January 1, 2018.
