Sweden, Malmö, and Malmö University have a lot to offer. We have gathered some of the reasons why Malmö University is a good choice for you.

What I love about Malmö is that it has a great infrastructure

Malmö is located in the very south of Sweden and makes it a gateway to the rest of Europe. The city has something to offer no matter interests, lifestyle, or background. You can stroll through the parks, swim in the ocean, go to a concert, look at art, take the 40-minute train to Copenhagen. Everything within reach of a bike ride. Malmö University is based in the center of the city and is a part of the city pulse. Malmö has a great diversity with many nations represented and is a place where you can feel at home.
