Linnaeus University Kalmar Campus
Institution Info
Carl Linnaeus was possibly the greatest Swedish scientist of all time. With roots in the Småland region of southern Sweden, he went on to capture the world of science as his stage. He was intrepid, curious and innovative, someone we would call an entrepreneur today. In adopting Linnaeus’ name for the new university, we aim to show that we have a similarly high level of ambition and the same exacting standards.
Linnaeus University pursues teaching and research in Kalmar and Växjö. Kalmar, with its close proximity to the coast and the Baltic Sea, is noted for its prominent research in the natural sciences.In Växjö, the humanities and social sciences are strong research areas, as well as research connected with the forestry and the wood industry.
With 35,000 students and 2,000 employees, Linnaeus University is one of the larger universities in Sweden. The concept of close connections is a guiding principle in our work. At Linnaeus University there is an active student life, with close relations between students, researchers and other members of staff.
Like Linnaeus, our roots are in the Småland region of southern Sweden. In the true spirit of Linnaeus, we see no limitations in the wide-ranging scope of our work. The university profiles in Kalmar and Växjö are truly international, with major opportunities for participation in both regional and worldwide networks.

Student Life
Linnaeus University is situated in two towns- Kalmar and Växjö. These towns have for many years offered an active student life and attractive accommodation options.
Kalmar
Kalmar is a medium-sized town, with ideal settings for student life. The town is attractive and conveniently laid out, with a colorful history and a castle dating back to medieval times, close proximity to the sea, undulating farmlands and deep forests. The School of Natural Sciences in Kalmar has special competence in the area of life, health and the environment and is recognized for excellence in teaching and research across a range of natural sciences and related disciplines. The School offers Master’s programmes which equip the graduate for work in industry or future studies towards a PhD.
Växjö
Växjö, is a central community in southeastern Sweden, with a full range of cultural and musical life in its many museums, theaters, cathedrals and concert halls. The area is known as the Kingdom of Crystal since world class glassworks such as Kosta Boda and Orrefors are located here. The House of Emigrants commemorates the great emigration epoch from 1850 to 1930, when 1.3 million Swedes emigrated to America.
The campus is located just outside of Växjö city center. It was modelled after the American Campus style, meaning that all teaching premises are within walking distance. The campus was built with the environment in mind, as it is bordering a nature conservation area.
There are 3,700 student apartments and dorm rooms on the university campus housing approximately 4,600-5,200 students. A part of the university campus is dedicated to the Videum Science Park. The park gives space to over 100 companies, thus being in close proximity with the university and encouraging innovation and research. The university also has student housing on Seminarievägen located in Växjö city center.
New buildings have been erected with due concern for the environment, leaving room for old trees and moss-covered boulders among the new architecture on campus. Cars have only limited access to the site, but cycle paths lead directly to the town centre and out into the beautiful countryside all around.
