CAMPUS SUNDSVALL Campus Sundsvall is situated a short walk from the centre of the city. It has lovely scenery, with leafy groups of trees and a beautiful promenade along the river “Selångeersån.” Campus Sundsvall won the Charter Award in 2005, which is one of the world’s most prestigious town architecture prizes, and that field’s equivalent of cinema’s Oscar Award. Sundsvall is a well-reputed student city, in which the trade and industry, the municipality, and the university prioritise the students. No less than four times since the year 2000, Sundsvall has been voted the most student friendly municipality in Sweden. The city offers a great array of culture, entertainment, and shopping.

CAMPUS ÖSTERSUND Campus Östersund, inaugurated in 2002, is situated a few minutes walk from the main shopping street in the centre of the city. The new city district with the university, which formerly was a regiment, has been carefully renovated, built out, and transformed into a welcoming campus. The area harbours a modern library, lecture halls, student restaurants, and a café. Östersund is the number one winter city. The short distance to the mountains and the country’s top down hill centre “Åre” make many students choose Östersund as their city of studies. The city and its surroundings have a wide range of recreational activities to offer the year around.
