Profile
Founded in 1977, Malardalen University is among the younger universities in Sweden. The university has two main campuses: Vasteras and Eskilstuna. Total enrollment: 15,000 (including about 500 international students).
Students at Mälardalen University have everything they need to be able to enjoy their studies. Laboratories and computer facilities are plentiful. All university buildings have been adapted to enable handicap access and handicap aids are available. The Student Union arranges numerous social events, and also plays an active role in setting up contacts with companies, international exchanges, cultural and athletic activities, and in providing access to information technology.
Location
The cities of Vasteras and Eskilstuna are beautifully situated on either side of Lake Mälaren, one of Sweden's largest inland lakes. Both campuses are centrally located, which adds to the university's attractions and to the vitality of both city centers. Whether a course is offered in Eskilstuna or Vasteras is of little importance, as students and staff travel between the campuses free of charge during working hours.
The cities are large enough to provide a wide range of cultural activities, entertainment, and sporting facilities. The region also provides a range of outdoor leisure activities. During the summer there are excellent facilities for golf, sailing, swimming, and rambling. In the winter it is possible to ski and to skate on the frozen waters of Lake Malaren. The two cities are approximately 100 km from Stockholm and can easily be reached by bus or train within one hour.
