Lund University unites tradition with a modern, dynamic, and highly international profile.

The university annually attracts a large number of international students and offers a wide range of courses and programmes taught in English.
- The Faculty of Law is one of Lund University?s four original faculties, dating back to 1666. It is a modern faculty with an international profile, welcoming both international and Swedish students. Education, research and interaction with the surrounding community are the main focus of the Faculty?s work. The connection between the three is particularly apparent in the programmes and courses offered by the university, including the university?s MOOC course in European Business Law. The students get the chance to engross themselves in traditional legal studies, while interacting with both researchers and professionally active lawyers with qualifications and experience from various areas of law.
