The rest of Sweden
When it comes to area, Sweden is one of the larger countries in Europe, stretching from south to north. In terms of population, however, it is a small country with around 10.5 million inhabitants. Southern Sweden, where Lund University is located, is much more densely populated than the northern part of the country.
The capital Stockholm, which is about 600 kilometres from Lund, is well worth a visit, as are many other places and landscapes. Swedes have a very high level of English as a second language, so you can get by with English anywhere in the country.
Sweden is known for its world-class education and its focus on equality, sustainability and innovation. It is also home to the Nobel Prize, a famous and prestigious global academic award.
