Lund has been a centre of learning since Skåne was reclaimed from the Danes, over 300 years ago. Today, Lund University is one of the largest in Scandinavia. Its eight faculties provide courses and pursue research in almost all conceivable subjects: theology, the humanities, economics, medicine, science and engineering, as well as law, the social sciences, art, music and the theatre. A number of the Univer sity’s activities are located in the neigh-bouring towns of Malmö and Helsingborg.

Lund is characterised by academic traditions,

intellectual discussion and a mentality referred to as the spirit of Lund: humour, scepticism and irony. The student community contributes through car-nivals, burlesques, debates, balls and concerts.

Over the years, academic life has become more extrovert. Today, all the faculties of the Uni-versity are involved in cooperation with industry and commerce, and society as a whole. Students and professionals are represented on the board of each faculty. Knowledge is spread through popu-lar scientifi c events and journalism. Some courses given by the University are intended specifi cally for the continuous development of professionals. Research is becoming increasingly more multidis-ciplinary and international in character.

Lund has its origin in the early Middle Ages, when the Danish king of the time, Knut II, started con st ruction of the cathedral, and the city is thus one of Sweden’s oldest. Many of Lund’s Medieval streets remain today, giving the city its special at-mosphere.

Even more important for the atmosphere of the city are its students, who provide a lively contribution to both city life and public entertain-ment. Modern-day Lund would be inconceivable without the University.

Thanks to the Øresund bridge, uniting Sweden and Denmark across the Sound, contact with Denmark is increasing. Wonderful Copenhagen is less than an hour away, while Malmö on the Swedish side is even closer. More and more foreign

languages can be heard on the streets of Lund, not least as a result of the University’s many exchange programmes with countries throughout the world. Within the Øresund Region itself, no less than 11 universities, with a total of 150,000 students and 14,000 scientists, collaborate within the Øresund University.

Lund is in the Swedish province of Skåne, traditionally regarded as the granary of the coun-try. Many of the companies in the area have their roots in agriculture, but these are now being joined by others in areas such as biotechnology, information tech-nology, medical technology and telecommunications, to name but a few. Within the Ideon Science Park, many good ideas are developed from research fi nd-ings into commercial products.

Students in Helsingborg have everything within easy reach. Denmark is literally just a Danish pas-try away, that’s all you’ll have time to eat on the short ferry trip over to Zealand. The commuter train will take you south wards to Lund in just over 30 minutes, then on to Malmö and, on the other side of the Øresund bridge, Copenhagen.

But why should anyone want to leave Helsing-borg, described as the Pearl of the Sound, when it can offer a wide and exciting range of culture, enter-tainment, sport and leisure activities? Helsingborg is no provincial town, but a real metropolis where the tempo is high. The Helsingborg Campus is a pleasure to behold and the atmosphere is, as you would expect, exciting. This is where you can study LTH’s Bachelor’s programmes in engineer-ing, for example.

Helsingborg has undergone many changes since its fi rst settlers arrived over a thousand years ago. Concepts such as communication, shipping, trade and industry originally set the tone of the city, and it has continued to develop in these areas. How-ever, during last decade three other phenomena have brought Helsingborg into the limelight: the housing exhibition ”h99”, The Henry Dunker Culture Centre, and last, but by no means least, LTH’s Campus in Helsingborg.

In order for society to be able to adapt to a long-term sustainable economy, signifi cant tech-nological breakthroughs will be required. The issue of climate change will be the subject of our attention for many years to come. The question of energy must be solved through solar and wind power, consumption must be more environmen-tally friendly, our houses must be more intelli-gent, our production systems and effl uents must be cleaner, and we must develop alternative fuels for transportation. These are the challenges cur-rently occupying LTH’s scientists. Such problems require multidisciplinary approaches to develop new, more sensitive methods of measurement. Work in these areas should also be more interna-tional, and focus on global problems. LTH has many multidisciplinary centres of high interna-tional standard.

Communication is another keyword at LTH; from physical logistics, i.e. the transportation of

� � 13

goods by trucks on the roads, to digital communi-cation on electronic highways, as well as the devel-opment of smaller chips for computers. Improving traffi c safety is also important, as a million people are killed each year on the roads worldwide.

It is a matter of using the resources of life for the benefi t of life. Medicine, water treatment and food production, for example, can be devel-oped through knowledge on microorganisms, genes and chemical and biological processes. The development of tomorrow’s functional foods and pharmaceuticals requires a combination of knowledge from many areas within LTH.

cil. Funding from the EU constitutes an important source of external fi nancing of research at LTH.

The Research and Innovation Bill presented by the Swedish Government at the end of 2008 included substantial funding for research in the ar eas of engineering, medicine, life sciences and climate studies. Research groups at LTH are ac tive in several of these areas, and have received grants in areas such as nanoscience, IT and mo-bile communications, e-science and production engineering.

Most of the research at LTH is conducted in collaboration with industry, especially the food industry, and society as a whole. Today, external fi nancing accounts for about two-thirds of the total fi nancing of research at LTH.

Research at LTH is continuing to develop well. It is of considerable advantage that we are part of Lund University, with its strong research environ-ments where multi-disciplinary collaboration is increasing. LTH has been awarded several pres-tigious research grants for both young and estab-lished researchers, despite stiff competition from the recently established European Research Coun-

water and the environment, mathematics and building economics.

Computer Science is the programme for those who want to create systems and applications in computing and programming. During their third year of studies, students can specialise in areas of application such as software, images and graphics or communication systems.

Environmental Engineering was created to educate students so that they can help solve important environmental problems, through sound knowledge and the ability to communicate with natural scientists on engineering, and with engineers on natural science. In the fi nal stages of the programme, students focus on a specifi c area, such as energy systems or water resources.

Electrical Engineering utilizes the branch of physics dealing in with electricity, in other words, everything from the conductive pattern in your computer processor, to the generation and use of electricity. Some of the rapidly developing areas at the moment include nano-components,

Biotechnology involves using new achievements in biochemistry as well as traditional methods such as fermentation. The subjects of chemistry and biology, especially at the cellular and microscopic level, form the basis of the programme, together with knowledge on various processes. The programme has four new areas of specialisation: bioprocesses, molecular biotechnology, food and pharmaceuticals.

Chemical Engineering deals with the use of chemicals in a sustainable society. Students not only take courses in organic, physical and analyti-cal chemistry, but also others designed to provide knowledge in chemical engineering and processes. There are three areas of specialisation: process de-sign, pharmaceuticals and materials.

Civil Engineering is one of the classic engineer-ing subjects, while still being of great importance in today’s society, where both buildings and infra-structure must be effi cient in terms of resources and operation. This is a many-facetted programme including construction engineering, plant design,

communication systems, computer engineering, environmental engineering and biomedical engineering. Graduates from this programme will be able to make signifi cant contributions to society.

Engineering Mathematics provides sound knowl-edge in applied mathematics, as well as in other technical and scientifi c applications. Students can specialise in various areas such as computation and simulation, biological modelling, business & eco-nomics, software systems, environment–risk–climate and signals and systems.

Engineering Nanoscience is LTH’s newest 5-year-programme, and is unique in Sweden. It concerns the study and manipulation of material on the atomic level, and learning to design specifi c func-tions, often based on quantum physics. Tools on the nano scale are required in biology and medicine, in chemical catalysis and in the electronics industry.

Engineering Physics combines advanced math-ematics and physics with engineering applications, and includes programming and quantum physics, as well as subjects such as sustainable development and measurement techniques. Graduates from this programme are general problem-solvers with a very broad choice of careers, in both industry and academic research. Areas of specialisation in the programme include fi nancial mathematics, environ-mental and energy systems, and nanophysics.

Industrial Management and Engineering combines classical engineering skills with economics. The programme includes production management, logistics, fi nancing and risk management, investments, marketing and product development.

Information and Communications Engineering is clearly directed towards computer communication and telecommunication, both of which are essential

in today’s, and tomorrow’s, advanced products, services and applications. Examples of the content of the programme are internet technology, the man–machine interaction, network programming, data security and mobile systems together with their applications.

Mechanical Engineering is one of the classic engi-neering disciplines, including environmental aspects and industrial economics, and provides industry with highly qualifi ed engineers. The programme covers not only mechanical design and engineering machinery, but also general problem solving, which is necessary for successful production strategies in worldwide competition.

Mechanical Engineering with Industrial Design is a programme that combines engineering and sci-ence with a considerable number of design-related courses of various kinds.

Risk Management is an engineering programme unique to LTH. It is open to students who have studied three years of the Fire Protection Engineer-ing programme at LTH, or another engineering programme in the Nordic countries that is equivalent to the Engineering programmes at LTH. Basic engi-neering skills are complemented with economics and statistical safety analysis, law, health and environ-mental studies, “man–technology–organisation” and matters related to insurance.

Surveying is based on wide themes and sizable projects. Real-estate legislation, economics and envi-ronmental studies are combined with more technical subjects, the main one being cartography. The main areas of specialisation are real-estate economics, real-estate law and geomatics.

The China Profi le allows students to study the

Chinese language and culture together with en-

gineering. At least one term is spent at a leading

Chinese university, and students can apply for sum-

mer placements in China. The Chine Profi le is open

to students studying Computer Science, Electrical

Engineering and Information and Communications

Engineering.

Technology Management is a joint specialist pro-

gramme that can be taken by engineering students

and economics students wishing to complete their

degrees by integrating engineering, economics and

management. The aim of the programme is to provide

society with qualifi ed graduates who can meet the

needs of versatility and creativity in industry.

Other Programmes

Architecture has been offered at LTH since its

foundation. The programme is artistic and aca-

demic, and provides comprehensive training in

processing and designing spatial and theoretical

issues. A great deal of the work is practical and

includes drawing and building models. Theo-

retical studies including lectures, seminars, and

examinations run parallel with the practical work;

students read, write, calculate, discuss and re-

fl ect.

Industrial Design means taking part in the

whole manufacturing process, from concept to

the fi nal product. The external appearance is a

consequence of the function and context of the

product. This places demands on knowledge

and awareness in many different fi elds. Industrial

designers should also be able to recognise cultural and

technical changes in society and incorporate them into

their work without delay. Stronger relations between

aesthetic, technical, industrial and economic

aspec ts have become necessary.

Fire Protection Engineering is also unique to LTH.

It is the only higher education programme in Sweden

that provides qualifi cations in the fi re and rescue

services, and is world-leading in its class. Basic engine-

ering is combined with subjects such as combustion

chemistry, risk assessment and studies of the working

environment. During their fi rst summer placement

students literally experience baptism by fi re. Students

may continue their studies to obtain a Master’s degree

in Risk Management, or take a one-year continuation

course at Revinge College, just outside Lund.

Nanoscience has its scientifi c foundation in the physical description of nanoscale phenomena, but students can choose to specialise in various areas, for instance nanoelectronics or materials chemistry, depending on their background and interests.

Photonics offers students the opportunity to study in the three major areas of photonics: engineering (the generation and manipulation of light), communication (the transport of information by optical and microwave techniques) and diagnostics (the utilization of light in industry, health care, etc.).

Sustainable Urban Design deals with the design of the urban environment on various levels, from the detailed design of townscapes to strategic plan-ning on a regional scale. Attractiveness, long-term quality and sustainability are prioritized urban goals.

System on Chip prepares students to meet the global career challenges involved in integrating wireless and wired communication electronics, uti-lizing the next generation of microelectronics and system-on-chip design.

Water Resources is a broad programme that covers the most important scientifi c and technical aspects of water resources. Students will have the opportunity to specialize in fi elds in which LTH has world-leading expertise.

Wireless Communication provides international students with an education that prepares them for global challenges in the development of the wire-less future.

Biotechnology offers international students cour-ses focussed on modern methods in biotechnology, where LTH has world-leading researchers.

Fire Safety Engineering has been developed in cooperation between Ghent University, the University of Edinburgh and Lund University. The fi rst semester, covering basic topics in fi re safety engineering, is taught in Ghent and Edinburgh. All students spend the second semester in Lund, with emphasis on enclosure enclosed fi res and human behaviour. The third semester is taught in Ghent (’general FSE’) and Edinburgh (where the focus is on structural engineering in the context of FSE). The fourth semester is devoted to a Master’s thesis, hosted by one or more of the three institutes.

Food Technology and Nutrition aims to meet the needs of graduate engineers intending to work as professionals in government authorities and the agro-industrial sector at an advanced level, thanks to advanced theoretical studies, given in a practical technological context.

In Industrial Design students will be focusing on one of three areas: living & behaviour, form & struc-ture or man & nature. The curriculum will consist of individual industrial design projects, workshops and theoretical core subjects. After graduation, students will be well prepared to meet the design challenges that the global society is facing, in whatever capaci-ty they choose to work, as a designer, entrepreneur, design coordinator or researcher, in the public or private sectors, in a team or as an individual.

� International Exchange

In the late 1970s LTH began to offer its students the possibility to study abroad during part of their studies. At fi rst only a few exchange programmes with European countries were open to them, but today they can choose to go almost anywhere in the world.

Student exchange expanded rapidly during the 1990s, mainly due to the introduction of the Eu-ropean exchange programme ERASMUS. Also the signing of new bilateral exchange agreements with universities in other parts of the world led to an increasing number of incoming foreign students at LTH. Today almost 500 students from different parts of the world attend courses given at LTH. Swedish students usually spend their fourth year at

International Exchange

� Student succes

New students at LTH are automatically enrolled in a project called Student Success. On their very fi rst day, the expectations and needs of new students are surveyed, the students are divided into small groups and as-signed a mentor, who is one of the more experienced students. Help is thus available to those who need it in getting started with their university studies. Students receive about 30 hours of teaching each week.

� The Breakthrough

This is a project aimed at improving the quality of teaching and increasing the interest of teachers in pedagogics. Teachers having attained a high level of competence are elected into LTH’s Pedagogical Academy and their task is to disseminate their knowl-edge to other teachers at LTH.

another university, but dissertation work or practical training abroad is also popular. The most recent development is the possibility to obtain a double de-gree, one from LTH and one from a university in another European country, which is offered to the students through the T.I.M.E. network.
