Welcome to Kristianstad University

Kristianstad University builds upon on a long tradition of higher education, starting with training programmes for teachers and nurses in the 1800s. Today we offer a wide range of programmes and courses to meet the needs and challenges of our surrounding society and job market.

In this era of globalisation our world is expanding, and internationalisation has become an integral part of high-quality education and research. Collaborating, sharing and networking across borders and boundaries are our main tools for broadening perspectives and bringing new ideas to light. International collaboration and mobility are second nature to our university.

It is our mission to give you a great academic experience that prepares you for your professional life. Our education has a close connection between academia and business. Our campus is concentrated in one location, always facilitating access to your lecturers. By the time you leave, you will be well prepared for a professional career and your future.

If your academic curiosity brings you to Sweden and our university, you will certainly learn about our culture and way of life. While gaining knowledge and thriving through your studies, you will most likely also grow as a person and create memories and friends for life.
