Student Health Centre
Welcome to the Student Health Centre! You can turn to us for help if, for example, you are experiencing stress, low mood or anxiety about speaking in front of others. You can also get support related to your drinking habits, feelings of anxiety or other things that are affecting your mental well-being and linked to your study situation.
Here you will find advice and guidance about looking after your well-being while you are studying. You can also take part in courses and groups, get in touch with someone for an individual conversation and get yourself tested for certain sexually transmitted diseases.
We are accessible for all students at Lund University, regardless of where you study, and for students at SLU Alnarp and Flyinge (Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences). If you are a doctoral student at the university, we refer you to the Occupational Health Service.
Staff at the Student Health Centre have a duty of confidentiality and are legally required to keep records. All our services are free of charge.

When you should contact other healthcare providers
For non-study related problems, you may need to turn to other care providers than the Student Health Centre. This applies if, for example:
- Your difficulties are not related to study.
- You have a physical illness or a problem with pain.
- You know that you need to see a doctor to get a prescription or a sickness certificate.
- You want to be assessed for ADHD, autism or dyslexia.
- You want to be assessed for potential psychotherapy or longer talking therapy.
In such cases, you should contact your own health centre first.
If you have had a healthcare contact in your previous hometown and have recently moved to take up studies at Lund University, you should be referred to the equivalent care for continued treatment where you now live. The Student Health Centre does not accept referrals. We are not able to renew prescriptions previously prescribed by other doctors.
If you are unsure of where to turn for help, you can call us during telephone hours for advice.
