Master's degree studies
We offer over 130 Master's programmes taught in English across a wide range of subjects. Each year, applicants from around 170 countries apply. This makes our programmes truly international and gives them a global perspective on today's challenges.
Education at Lund University is closely tied to current research and many of the programmes and courses are unique. International guest lecturers and speakers from businesses, governments, NGOs and research fields regularly feature as part of the curriculum to further connect studies to the professional world.
In addition to our Master’s degree programmes, there is a wide range of stand-alone courses to choose from for those who are not looking for a full degree.
